This happens to me a lot man, I feel what you're going through. The reason why parents seem to favor the littler siblings in a family is because, well, they're little. Usually the case is that when parents seem to favor the little siblings in the family, it is because the environment that they grew up in did not favor the little siblings. There are studies that say that sibling "bullying" is worse than any other type of bullying, because it has the most permanent damage on that little sibling that is being bullied, or, just simply look sort of down upon because that little sibling is, well, the little sibling. That happens to be the case with my mom. She had 3 older sisters, and they apparently made her life hell. All the time. And her mom never did anything about it. Now, she always defends my little sister over me even if the argument or the situation is completely wrong for my little sister, and I am 100% correct, and she also gives me sister privileges that I would have NEVER gotten even if I was 5 years older than my sister, I would not come close to those privileges. So that's what it seems like now in your situation. Your younger brother gets certain things because he is the younger one, and whenever you snap off and say something, your parents yell at you. It's because your parents probably never understood being a older sibling, and they don't know what it feels like when something like this happens. They expect you to act like an adult and be mature about it, no matter what it is. They expect you to rub it off, and not worry about it, even if it is very unfair, like your situation. That's why, you just have to prove to them that you are adult-like, but instead of snapping off and saying something right there on the spot, maybe act mature and ask them about 15 minutes later why you have a terrible phone, and that your brother gets a new iPhone 5. I guarantee that you will get a new phone as long as you handle it maturely and be adult like about it.

Hope this helps

Dude, your mom did not do this on purpose. She loves you deep down and don't forget about that when you get into arguments with her. Good luck bro.

Dude no one is going to read that o.o

just sit down and have a long talk-it-out session. It might sound weird and stupid but it actually works

Its Because FISH.. <-- The New Motto.

"Dude no one is going to read that o.o"

Only wise people would read it, valuable information I learned through my life man, wouldn't pass it up

-RDR- wrote So today i woke up and walked down stairs to realize my Mom just went out and bought my 13th year old brother a iphone 5! When im going to be a junior in highschool and have a crappy flip phone.

My mom told me it was for my brother, I was just like "seriously, you got him a better phone then me and hes 13th!", guess what she started to laugh. Her laughing made it sound like she got him that just to tick me off. I said to my mom " Screw you", not being serious. She started to flip out on me, and to wrap up the story i broke my phone in anger. (I do have anger problems)

I feel like all the time she is treating him better, and always getting him stuff. Like i had to Buy my own TV, and xbox with money i made, and my brother got his for free, from my mom!

Does anyone else feel the same way sometimes?

He's younger than you. Thus he will get what he wants. Since you are older and about to hit the real world then you can't rely on your mom to buy you stuff. Plus buying my own stuff makes me feel more "satisfied" with the product rather than having someone handing it to me.

I read it.



OT : You're older, she expects more from you. Wait about 3 years, she will treat him the same. Also, you're a junior you said, get a job(if you don't have one) and buy your own phone if you want one that badly.
