I'm sick of people in charge and those in power choosing favorites. My mom chose my other siblings, my principal chose the athletes, and my teachers chose the preps. They get everything while the rest of us are ignored. The goth kids in my school, the ones who behave and follow the rules, are the first ones suspected of any problems. My mom uses the "3 strike system" on the "baby" of the family while I'm punished right away. My teachers always lets the preps get away with dress code violations, violating the no gum rule, etc. All these favorites want ke to scream how unfair of is. scream

Life sucks that way. People base a lot of their prejudices on appearances and stereotypes.

Also, it's not fair that the youngest of the family gets treated differently, but that's usually how it goes. In my family, an effort is made to treat all us girls equally, but as the oldest, I often get saddled with more responsibility and more accountability than my sisters.

Agreed, though I'm in a way the middle child. Of my actual siblings that is. I have a step brother now, but I seem to get in trouble for everything my sister does, not to mention for not telling her to do what she is supposed to do (when I know for a fact that I do tell her. She just bitches at me and proceeds to not do what the parents told me to tell her to do.)

I also get snapped at because my older brother and I get along rather well, so when I stick up for him in any situation the parents or my little sister see as something wrong (when really it's an incredibly stupid thing to throw a hissy fit over Ex: my parents go over to the house he is temporarily staying in, which my parents still partially own, and they find that ONCE the cats litter pan isn't emptied they want to scream at him and say that he doesn't know how to take care of his animals.) I get screamed at.

My sister never get's actually punished, though she has done some stupid and crazy s**t in her life, but anytime I was grounded I wasn't given any slack. My sister has the biggest attitude sometimes. She back talks my parents over something that she knows she has no right at all to back talk to them about and doesn't realize once she turns 18 she can be kicked straight out of the house for her actions. However, I highly doubt the parents would even do that.

Anyway...all I wanted to say was I totally agree with you, but also, Irako is right as well. That's just the way things are.

I can't wait till my sister learns the hard way that when I leave the house she is going to be stuck with every single chore and such that I have to do in her place now.

I used to and still feel this way sometimes. but as someone overcoming it, the best advice I can give is just start considering yourself an individual and look towards the future. I ended up going into theatre on a whim and this is where I belong and where people have taken notice of me. It may take others longer, but while you are young, you need to get off your a** and start exploring/searching.

*awkwardly stands up from seat, brushes down tie and fixes hat* i, sadly, am that student that gets away with stuff like dress code. Its cuz everyone sees me as an innocent lil girl that cant possibly do anything wrong. But at home, oh boy dont get me started.
Im the oldest of 4, count that, 4 lil demons! I always get blamed cuz im just the easiest to blame.
Situation: im sitting on the couch while lil bro(age 11) is fighting to the death with lil sis(age 13)
Solution: parents ground me for breakin them up and saving two lives
GENIUS SOLUTION! Gee thanks parents, feelin the love

My journalism teacher has his three favorites of the class, the students
that are head staff of the school newspaper. I can understand why he would pick them as
favorites but he makes our class time revolve around them.

In my AP English class I am a little worried that I'm being treated better than the others
for the wrong reasons since I've had the teacher last year for German 1 and this year for both German 2
and English. I do stay rather quiet though, but I feel like he doesn't warm up to the other students
and grades them a little more harshly than he grades me. Or I'm genuinely smart. I don't know.
The other students are very smart too, but they complain, whine, and ask for longer deadlines a lot.
I don't whine or complain but I don't always do my work either xp

Oh boy, tell me about it.

I WILL admit i am a bit of a troublemaker in my school, but i am NOT alone in doing it. However, i always end up as the scolded one.

And no, i don't argue that other people were in on it. I follow the bro-code (To some extent)

It doesn't just happen in college/school or in families, it happens quite often in the work environment as well. I know for a fact this particular girl that I work with is not trained nor authorized to do particular tasks such as parade as an Manager because she isn't even 18 (and apparently she really sucks at all of her tasks that she does). However her mother is the Human Resources/Scheduler, or essentially a person with a lot of power - so her daughter gets a lot of lee way and privileges that people struggle to get. It infuriates me primarily because the girl hasn't been there as long and suddenly gets favortism via the managers / still in highschool and has an attitude that makes me want to punch her face in.


As for School, I went to artsy fartsy school that didn't tolerate bullying. And Family wise, I was the only child so how my parents parented me was the way it went, I never saw favortism in any invisible siblings. However from what I have seen happen with my cousins, friends and significant others - the eldest usually have it harder because they are the first and they set an example. The more children a parent has, the less likely they will punish or reward their child for good/bad behavior.
