My parents favor my sister in every argument to the point where I have panic attacks from my anger. Help?

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to first talk to your parents. While I understand that you are not a fan of them right now, it appears you ultimately have to live with them, so it is better to have open lines of communication with them.

Sit down with your parents, and let them know that you want to have a serious conversation with them. Explain how you have been feeling, and that you have been having anxiety, or panic attacks, from the arguments, and how they are being handled. Do not attack your parents during this conversation. Simply let them know how you feel. If you attempt to be aggressive, and tell them off, you will not get anywhere.

Once you have this conversation, it would probably be good to address the issues with your sister. Try to focus on what causes the arguments with your sister in the first place. If you can build peace with your sister, this whole issue will go away.

Answer 2

I know it seems like no one takes your side, but step back a little bit and see who starts the arguments and if you are involved in beginning your own problems. At 14 life is confusing and you are just learning about the world/life. Your sister is a preteen and also going through her own learning. So, she told you "ha" big deal. You are the oldest so act like it. You can ignore her when she acts that way. Instead of arguing with your parents (I know you are) sit down with them and have a conversation. Don't do this at a busy time like cooking dinner, but when everything is settled or instead of hiding in your room or pouting (I know you are) . Take on some responsibility for your actions and helping around the house.
