Parents want me to be Little Miss Perfect--like my sis

  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?
My older sister is a goody-goody and gets great grades. She is also great at sports. She doesn't care about boys, makeup and teenager things. My parents expect me to be like her. I stink at sports and get bad grades. How do I tell my parents I don't want to be compared to her?
 
Dear Compared,
Remind them that you have different strengths and interests. It's fine to enjoy clothes and crushes. But get a jump start on the new school year. Keep up in class, stay organized with homework and join an after school activity or two, like chorus, band, newspaper, theater, student council or community service. Make it a great new grade!

Hey, guess what? The girls in my school want me to be the exact opposite of that! But that will never happen!

Is it bad that I'm the youngest(my brother is ten years older than me and I'm almost 15 so I'm practically an only child now) and I feel like I get WAY too much attention? I love my parents and I know they love me it's just...kind of a lot of...pressure... I think they realize me and my bro aren't little kids anymore. Just curious... lol
