am 16 I live with my mom, my younger bro. and my Grandmother and her husband. My little brother is my moms favorite and he knows it, and uses it to get me in trouble. He is a hitting, kicking, pulling, spitting, swiping, annoying, loud, brattiest 4 year old you will ever meet. Yes he is only 4 but still evil. My Grandparents are emotionally and verbally abusive. But mostly my grandmother. Don’t tell me to talk to my Dad I have and he cant do anything, He lives about 800 miles away.
I am home schooled, so a school councilor is not an option. Don’t tell me to talk to my mom or grandparents, they are the kind of people who are NEVER wrong.
It has been like this for as long as I can remember. Only my older sister was the favorite until she moved out. You know first child is the favorite, last child ( and first boy ) is the favorite. Middle child is just there to serve. I have been a slave-girl to my sister since I could walk. & to my little brother since he came along.
What should I do

Talking in my family doesn’t work. If I disagree with any one of the adults, no mater how nice, or sweet, or adult I act and talk about it to them, I am wrong, mouthy, fresh, or disrespectful so I get punished, a lot.
Don’t tell me to write them a note, I have tried they take one look at it and throw it away then punish me for writing it.
I am being told to babysit my sisters kid ( 7 month old ( very cute)) and my brother all the time + with chores I havn't been getting much school done. Then I get yelled at for not doing everything.
HELP

You only have 2 years left before you can graduate and move out. See if you can get a part-time job, just so you can stay out of the house (and save some money).
At some point soon see if you can apply for a GED... that's a proof that you have an actual high school education. Walk in and talk to the principal at the local high school.
Actually, you can go in and register and go to high school because your property taxes have already paid for it.
If your people give you trouble or try to prevent you from getting a formal education, talk to Children's Protective Services... the will either intervene or will put you into a foster home.
The 4 year-old is going to continue to act-out... it is their nature. His whole thing is to push your buttons any way he can and wait for your response... if you don't give him any response, he has nothing to live for. He wants attention... period. See if you can do the ol' carrot-and-stick approach by rewarding him by playing with him when he is good, and subtracting yourself from him when he acts out.
Failing that, all you can do is swat him off and walk away... keep yourself away from him.
If you have your own bedroom, I would suggest buying a keyed lock for that door to keep the little rat out of your stuff.
I would also suggest subtracting yourself from the family situation early and often.

That sucks! You should be able to go out and have fun at your age. Evidently you have explored the outside options and I hope you will keep that option in mind if you have a chance to go that way. You might try someone at a local Church. You don't have to be a member, just go in and ask. Meanwhile, work your butt off to be the best kid that ever walked. Just do what is expected of you and at least they will quit b*****ing at you. You might even get so good at it you can manipulate everyone around you to get what you want.
It will be good experience when you have to go to work and you are treated this same way.
