My Parents Are Ruining My Little Brother

The Story

Hello. I am 14 years old. I have a brother who soon turned 11. I have always guided him, I help him, I take care of him. Our parents are very ambitious, but they give us almost no time. For them, the evaluations are important - arts, etc. they are not interested, they consider it a complete waste of time. This year my brother entered my school (there is an admission after the fourth grade). He applied with great desire, he was happy. But everything has changed. I was also in 5th to 7th grade at this high school. At the entrance levels did not perform brilliantly. That's why stupid teachers put a label on him. They constantly compare him to me, how "I knew", how "you should be like your brother". It ruins it, I see it. After the first parent-teacher meeting, instead of reassuring him about these few bad grades, my parents shouted at him! Are these people, tell me ?? My brother, who is extremely intelligent now feels like a complete fool! I just hope he doesn't become an outsider in his new class.

Soon all this tension came to him more. As the whole family dined, my mother began to explain to him how to follow my example. "Your brother goes and wins math competitions, you go too!" WHAT NONSENSE? I myself do not see why she should follow some ideal she invented for a diligent child! He had tried several times, but races like these were not for him. Otherwise, he has a huge talent in writing short stories, but you know - it doesn't matter ... So when he told him how bad he was at school, he cried. It came to him a lot, really. And guess what they told him - my father was angry that he was "behaving like a woman", and my mother continued calmly. Then I got up and took him to our room. I'm tired of her, I don't care if they're my parents. He felt better without them. He told me how difficult it was for him to be compared to me. I feel bad about it. I explained to him that I never wanted this to happen, that he was actually very smart, and that I would ask my former teachers to stop comparing him to me.

For the first time in a month, he smiled. Since then, I have been helping him with the lessons every day, and little by little he is beginning to understand them. But ours continues. Please help me - what can I tell my parents to stop comparing him to me? and that I will ask my former teachers to stop comparing him to me. For the first time in a month, he smiled.
