They All Notice My Brother!

My older brother has won so many awards from school. Every time anyone comes to our house they marvel at his awards and tell him how proud they are of him. No one believes in me and I don't even exist! My older brother is better in school subjects like science and math. I'm better in the arts. I love to draw and play music. I like to sing too. Do my parents or relatives see that? No. What am I supposed to do? - Brooke, 12, Maine

"Hey, Brooke!" Well... first of all, everyone feels like this at one time or another.

What we have to worry about is how to fix it right? Have you tried anything to get your message across? For example, talk to your parents and relatives about how you feel. They need to know how you feel.

Everyone has atalent in something. Your brother happens to have a talent for being good in math and science. Your talent is in your art and music. what I would do, if I were in this situation is have a talk with my parents and relatives and let them know what's going on. Explain to them how you feel. Let them know that at times you feel like you don't exist. Tell them you have talents too. Don't just tell them, SHOW them!!! Well I hope this could be of some help. And just to let you in on something, all of us here at AGW are proud of you!!!
