I Dislike Favoritism

I hate it lots like my friends family clearly treat their younger girl better than my friend. I think it’s really unfair. Like Louise is the sweetest person I know and will alway try helping others even though she’s deaf like me and struggles to talk to other. But her sister has nothing wrong with her and exepects everything to be done for her. She is only a year younger than my friend.

Even on louises birthday her sister tries to be the center of attenchion. She’s one of the few people I really don’t like.

Sadly, I've seen that a lot in families with more than one child. Hopefully, they'll start treating her better if not, maybe it'll make your friend stronger. I'm sure it's hard sometimes. I'm an only child and up there in age, so really don't have any experience personally, but had a friend from back in school that had issues at home. He was a great friend, but also overlooked by his family. It took him some time but with friends that gave him positive reinforcement, he fought past all that crud. He's doing really well now, and his family treats him better than ever.

I truly hope the best for your friend. Not if anything I said is helpful or maybe you just needed to vent.

@Lilyharper Really sorry to hear that and I'm sure that having you and your family is a big help for her. It's just hard to get past some peoples prejudices, like being deaf is something wrong. It isn't. Your being there for her, is a helping her, I'm sure. We all need someone, from time to time, just to hear us out or even for a bit of moral support. Sometimes, we just don't get it from the people we should. But, she's got you and I'm sure you can count on her.

@Lilyharper That's great that you have each other, imagine how hard it would be without you there for her or your family, though I'm sure she's strong. She just has to realize that not everyone will look at her like you do. Even her own family. It doesn't mean she is what they see, it just means they are blind to who she is and what she can do.
