I hate when people, not that much older than me, see me as a kid. For instance I have this cousin who is only two years older than me. And when I last saw him, I kind of felt like he was treating me wayyy younger than me. Also I was kind of ignored if you know what mean. It might be my imagination though.

One of my friends (she is a drama queen lol) calls everyone, and I mean everyone "child"... She is also like 6 inches shorter than me. And only like 3 months older than me. So when she calls me child i just go over to her and look down at here (I have to or else I would see right over her head lol) and she just stops... Lol

Ikr one of my friends is younger than me but thinks she is the queen of the world she is always butting into my conversions and acts like she is older than me whenever I say something she doesn't like she will be like I will punch you and I'm so strong,we were watching Encanto, and she said she was as strong as Luisa, and she said she could lift a piano no joke!

She told me I shouldn't watch a show bc it has a bad word I was like I' older than you!

And she said that my sister shouldn't even though she is about the same ages as my sister!

IKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cousins do the same thing!!!!

I have a boy cousin that does the same thing except when it's just him and my sibs he will hang out with us and it's fun but when all the older teens come, we get ignored! My 15 yr old cousin gets mad when I ask her a q or acts like I don't know anything

I feel so left out bc I don't have a 

  1. phone
  2. The public school experiences
  3. The ability to watch the movies/play the video games/listen to the music they can
  4.  The clothes

I hate it when we play games I always have to be with my sibs and my other cousin who is a year young instead of being with the teenagers.

Everyone else is also on the Family Group Chat but us even though my 14 yr old cousin got the get on there when he was 12 bc his parents let him have an iPod at 12!

My parent at this rate won't let me have intel 14 and a phone at 18!!!!!!!

Look. Advice about life. Yes, you are still kids. Yes, sibling/family rivalries are common. Generally, older teens prefer hanging out with family their age or friends over family. It's not you. As a teen ages, it is a natural response to gravitate away from their famiies. It is a natural response, for the teen to want isolation, to live on their own. With younger cousins and siblings, it is just chalked up to immaturity. 90% of children will grow out of it. And a 15 year old cousin treating a 13 year of cousin much younger is quite common. 15 is the age most teens start becoming considered adults. A 15 year old can start working, driving, taking on more responsibility etc. It is no fault of their own, their brains just process you as younger and far more immature than them. So do not get upset with your cousins, you aren't them, you don't know what's going through their brains. The only thing you can do is have patience. With both older and younger family. You just need to remember you aren't as old, therefore you aren't seen as the person to hang out with when there are several others their age.

Thanks, but really, they just treat me like a baby! or just ignore me!

I usally try to play games with them bc that is the only time I' treated as an equal but sometimes I just go upstairs and watch movies!
