Favoritism is hard like if your parents buy something expensive for your sister's birthday like a Wii or guitar or something. And you just got $50.00 or a Nintendo DS , that's showing more favoritism to your sister because your parents got her something more expensive that they couldn't afford. I think your parents are teaching you and your siblings to toughen up when you or your siblings get something more expensive or valuable. I deal with that all the time. So I just man up. Or as my dad says it "MAN UP CUPCAKE!!!!!!!!!!"

I totally agree. :"( my dad hates me. my mom is a single parent and she goes to school has a job AND STILL CAN TAKE CARE OF HER KIDS. MY MOM IS a SURVIVOR! my mom loves me with all her heart,before my dad left he said i will neve love you, spit in my face and moms face and left and broke some of our stuff. i know how you feel im 11 too....... but i think its none of our buissness to be up in grown up situations.....

This is true, and it may not help everyone, but at least they'll give it a shot. It's for people not to harm themselves, and yes, there are other ways not to cut, or anything like that, but here's one solution out of many.
