I'm a 13 year old boy. I have a little sister who is 9 years old. My parents favor her so much just because she's a girl and she's younger. For example, when I get home from school I want to go on Skype and Discord so I can talk with my friends. We have different days (it's a long confusing story but we go to the high school every other day because our school is overcrowded). My sister will be able to sit on her iPad and watch TV and play our family computer ALL AT THE SAME TIME but if I'm sitting at my desk talking I'm "wasting my life and rotting my brain playing too many games." I try to explain to them that I'm talking and also trying to get money by developing games and selling things but nope any time I'm at my desk I'm playing a game. Sometimes I'll come home and my sister will scream at me for no reason and then start crying and say I hurt her. And of course I GET IN TROUBLE. It sometimes comforts me knowing that when I turn 18 I can move out but Idk how much of it I can take. I've resorted to not talking to anyone unless they ask me a question and sometimes I'll even contemplate running away. I've had suicidal thoughts and I need help because no one in my family understands.

I am the youngest in my family and I always felt favoured over my older brother because I am younger but it was also partially because when you're the oldest child your parents had no idea what they were doing when you were born. The next child is treated differently because you're parents then have some experience.
This amount of favouring though may come from something that has happened in the past but I doubt it. I have never heard of parents being that far one sided.
