The story

Something I've started to notice over the years that some (well) most of my friends parents hate/dislike me. don't know why. sometimes its nothing sometimes its old stuff. Like am I that bad? I feel like I cant hang out with anyone anymore because of their parents, its sad and makes me lonely like I'm just a kid (teen) I'm still learning about life and I just want to hang out with friends but I cant even do that. like one of my friends their mom hates me over some drama that happened last month or so (its whatever we are chill) but their mom blames me but like its off and on, plus I'm just a child like u don't even know me. Me and my friend both have older sisters and they are besties. my friend and her sisters parents don't have a problem with my sister so why hate me? its like everyone loves my older sister and shes sooo perfect so she can do anything and I'm just the crappy hated "(Name)_____ sister" I cant even enjoy life cuz of this. the only good thing about school is that I can see my friends and hang and talk with them. cant do it at home. there is 9 days of school left and I'm going into highschool next year! I wont even see some friends at school so what if I want to hang with them but their parents don't like me? IDK what to do but I'm over it. just cant let a teen be a teen..

maybe it's not as bad as it seems; parents can be tricky, but they're just looking out for their kids. honestly, sometimes they have reasons we don't see. it's a bummer, but you're not crappy, seriously. you're your own person, and things change over time. maybe just give it some time and see how things go. when you hit high school, you'll meet new people and have new experiences. hang in there, it might turn around soon! 😊

yep, maybe you're blowing this whole thing out of proportion?! parents are annoying sometimes, but they've got their reasons. Maybe it's worth thinking about things from their side too. You say, "I'm just a child," but maybe they've got concerns you're not seeing. You gotta admit, some of that drama isn't just gonna magically go away. Not saying you're crappy, but being "the hated sister" might not be as set in stone as you think. When you say, "I can't enjoy life 'cause of this," it sounds like there's maybe more you could be doing to change things. High school could totally be a fresh start, but you've gotta be open to that change. 🤔

it's tough when you feel like you're being misunderstood, especially by your friends' parents. 😕 they're often quick to judge before really knowing someone. you're right that you're just a teen trying to navigate life and make connections. it's unfair that you're compared to your sister; it can be a real drag. but hang in there, things can change, and perceptions might shift. until then, enjoy the time you can spend with your friends at school and make the most of it. high school could be a chance to find your own way and build relationships independent of all that past drama. 😊
