I was thinking. My step sister just graduated from high school last year(school years) and just received this summer a new laptop, new '03 car, a new house of her own, and fully paid collage. When I graduated all I got was a "Way to go!" Why do I feel like this is unfair? I feel a little bad that I am a little jealous. Should I be?

A new house and paid college? Did your parents strike it rich or something and not tell your/let you in? Or is all this stuff like an Apple laptop, a 10 year old, beaten-up car, a shack in the forest, and some lowly college? <img src=smilies/laff.gif><img src=smilies/cwm27.gif><img src=smilies/laff.gif><img src=smilies/cwm27.gif><img src=smilies/laff.gif><img src=smilies/cwm27.gif><img src=smilies/laff.gif><img src=smilies/cwm27.gif><img src=smilies/laff.gif><img src=smilies/cwm27.gif>

There's no point being jealous, although it seems like you have ample reason for it. All it will really do is interfere with your own peace of mind. Although I have to say, given the circumstances, it seems inevitable that you would feel that way at first, so don't feel bad - just as long as the feeling isn't messing with your mind and your own (unaided, and therefore more difficult) acheivements.

Talk to your parents about it. Tell them that you feel left out because of it. Maybe they can make it up to you in some way.

Not really. The house was already owned by my stepdad before they moved here. My parents had saved for her collage. The car is a brand new toyota camery, they are making payments on it. And the computer is some Dell I don't know what kind I was a little pissed when they presented it to her so I didn't look. And damned if I know where they got the money for that!

I should but I am afrade that it might result into a fight. Not a fist fight (god that would be fucked up) but a yelling fight.

>Tell them that you feel left out because of it. Maybe they can make it up to you in some way.

And if the fight results into this I would feel even worse becuase they are really giving me shit out of pitty! So the best thing I can think of is keeping it to myself and wait for the day I become rich and take over the world HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The same if not better!

>Also, what did you do after high school? ect ect.

I had a job for like 4 years which makes me think that because I have a job they thought I was capable of living on my own (which is true) plus she really isn't that smart so I guess she kind of needed it! I guess, the only reason I can think of.

Sounds like they didn't approve of the marriage.

Well, still talk to them but just tell them that your not trying to get anything out of them, and that you just wanted them to know that when they do things like that you get hurt. Maybe next time something like that comes up they will think of both of you and not just one.

I really like this suggestion. Tell them what is on your mind. Make it clear that you are not gold digging, but you are just trying to figure out why these decisions are being made.
