So I don't know if I'm being a brat, but my older brother gets everything he wants. We went on a holiday 2 years ago and he decided not to go with, so my parents bought him a playstation 3. I do play on it too, but only because I have dreams of going pro but my parents don't want to buy me one too. A year ago my tv broke, it was a 32", and he has a 50" and his own DSTV Explora (South African version of cable, I think) A few months ago my mother bought him an Alien Ware laptop, worth R30 000, because his laptop broke. I have been begging my parents for a new TV, my own PS3, because gaming is the only thing that makes me feel alive (I'm manic depressive). I find myself crying most days, I feel really unloved, I try to talk to my parents but they are so uninterested, but wait until my brother says something, then he shits goldbricks for them. Am I normal?

    Oded here, you are absolutely normal. With that kind of favoritism portrayed upon yourself, of course you would feel all what you been feeling. I however do not agree with it. If you have other family members you are close to, Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, etc. Who you can talk to, I say do so. I would go for an approach along the lines of an intervention. You and your other family members address the wrongness in this situation to your parents and try to resolve it. If you aren't close to family, do a few odd jobs for some cash, save up, buy a PS4 and TV, get lots of practice, and go pro and snub it in your parent's face.

    Oded....out

    Find fulfillment In other ways if you can. If you are old enough to work get a job. A bank account. And don't give your personal information to your parents or brother. They seem like the type to take your money. Buy nice clothes and shoes and the like first. Show them a great outer appearance. Don't let them EVER see you cry by something they did. Get your tv and XBOX ONE second to the other. Im sorry but sony sucks and so does the playstation network. Buying nice clothes and shoes. ..mens perfume even. Will make you feel better about yourself and boost your self esteem.

    Normal to resent favoritism, but use this to get used the favoritism in the world and fend for yourself. Your brother will probably wind up being a dependent brat who can't do anything for himself.
