Is it normal dat i always feel out in my family like im the odd one...i hav one brother and his da oldest. i also hav a younger sistr which means im da one inda middle. when i was younger i'v noticed that they were always the "favorites" in the family. it ddnt really bother me coz i thought its just a way of life and that thers nothng i can do bwt it bt as i got older it got worse...whenever my granny call our house to hear hw its goin and i wuld answer the phne she wuld always ask to speak to my brther or my sister...im startng to feel depressd bwt it and nt bcoz im jeolous but bcoz i feel like no one cares bwt me being alive or dead. whenever we go visit my aunt she wuld always ask me whers my sister or brther. when its xmas they wuld always get bigger gifts than me or the most expensive...whenever i thnk bwt it or talk bwt it i feel sad and i start to cry coz i feel like they dnt love me...inn to feel ths way...

    Maybe if you typed somewhat properly you wouldn't be the odd one out.

    My cousin (middle child of 3) went through the same thing. He eventually separated himself from his siblings by being extraordinary - it was like suddenly he was better at school than his siblings, he engaged in music, dressed however he wanted, got a job first (along with the car etc) and along with doing this his confidence superseded the want for more attention (though he got it anyway). He is the most successful and awesome person out of that family but it wasnt always that way. He is completely comfortable and confident within himself and everyone is jealous of his life now :) thats just a story that may or may not help you but I thought I would share it in case it means something to you.

    They are picking on him bc it's a distraction. I can't believe you are seriously upset if you can take the time to type so crappily. Maybe that's the issue: you only communicate with them in annoying middle child l33t speak. But really, talk to the family. I'm sure they love you and will be receptive to what you have to say. (And is this post wasn't heck to type, you have a real problem. )

    The mother usually favours the firstborn son ive heard. And the youngest is overprotected so the middle prob gets left out a bit mabey?

    My niece texts like that and she's 12!

    Anyhow, it's like any relationship - if you allow it to continue, it will.

    Thats sad. I am the eldest son, have younger sis and bro. My sister is in the middle. Surprisingly , she thinks the same way as you do. What happens in my family is like this,
    i am the only grown up son and the eldest, so i get more spotlight. My bro is only 10 and as the youngest also get the spotlight. So, comparativly my sis get a little less spotlight from relatives and parents. I do my best to keep her happy.

    I think so. When you're the middle child of three you kind of get forgotten sometimes. I honestly think my brother (who's 2nd) is the most liked b/c he's easygoing, although immature, but was the most forgotten when growing up.

    You should speak up for yourself.talk to your parents about it,and I guess they love you,they just get used to the pattern,then tell them the pattern is not right.
