I had a two sisters and im the youngest. My Mother's favorite is the eldest and my Father's favorite is the one older to me. My mother always give the things that are used by my sisters to me, because it can be use by me instead of buying new. then she will buy all likes of my eldest sister including new clothes because my sister dont want her friends to see clothes that she already use. Some people think that im the youngest so i will be the favorite, the apple of the eye to everyone but not. Dont get me wrong i love my sisters, im happy to see them happy. But of course i just feel sad that no one is cuddling or giving importance to me, i just think that parents should divide their love, attention and love equally to their siblings. It's just one of the experiences that happen to me when i was with them. I just want to share it with all of you. Then i will leave the question to all of you who will read this. Will you love your or can you show your love to your sisters even if they had all the love that you wish were yours?

Hmm, I am a sister myself, and I am the older one, but I had that feeling before that my Mom fusses over her than me. I felt jealous that time but I kept quiet about it.
Some times my mom would just approach me and ask what I want, I just usually answer that anything is ok. Time came that my sister got jealous as well, when they are going to a department store and my mom was looking for clothes for me and not for her, and it was not even a request coming from me. I came to realize that sometimes parents fuss over their child who is more 'noisy' in airing out their needs. I got that confirmed with my mom years back.
Hopefully you would see if there are some moments that your parents fuss over you, but not on the same level as that of your sisters, maybe just because you are not 'demanding' it so to speak, just waiting for it.
Don't blame your parents for being like this, they are just people like us, all they want is the best for us, but when you observe a bird's nest, usually the mother bird gives the food to the most noisy of the baby birds.
As years passed and we are already in our late 20's, my sister got married first and she got kids of her own, two girls (hehe). I noticed that my younger niece is noiser than the eldest, and I guess its happening again. I told her about our situation in the past, and asked her to try not to look that there is a 'favorite one'.
One thing I realized as well, I feel that I am more 'down to earth' than my sister, and a more practical person. :)
Don't worry dear, everything that is happening has its purpose! Just always be happy.
Cheers!

I have sisters. Two younger sisters. My mom and dad treat all my siblings well. Well not actually, my youngest brother get more attention and love from my parent. That is usual, all of us understand that. But in your case, seem like your are the one who do not get the most attention that you suppose to get. Seem like the youngest don't always rule.Mom and dad buying all the things to your elder sisters and you see it unfair? Is your family wealthy or the middle class family? You know what buying the new clothes to the elder and the elder get their clothes to the younger siblings is just normal. This is how to save money. I use to wear my brother clothes and my relative clothes which they didn't wore it anymore, from throwing away the clothes, we can take it and wear it. It is not wrong and shy to wear somebody clothes. The clothes you wear is your sisters clothes, it is not someone clothes that you get from the dustbin. Well, be mature, i know you are still a young girl but at least think for a second.

It is not true that all the eldest wants, the eldest gets easy. I am the eldest of our family and based on my experience we are in the same situation because my father's favorite is my second sister and my mother's favorite is the youngest. Although I am the eldest and sometimes I get also what i want I feel that material things are not enough. Because I really do feel that they lack some attention and love for me eventhough they say that they always gives me what I want and needed why is that I feel it is not enough or they just do it or show to me and give me all what i want because i am their child. Sometimes I really do feel envy and insecure with my younger sisters that I know it is not good. But above all I do love them and proud of them on every achievements they get.

I also have a sister but there is hardly any bias-ness. I also use things used by my sister, i suppose this is because money has to be saved on these things.
Perhaps you should talk it out with your parents that you are not feeling alright with their treatment. This should solve the problem.
