I am a girl of 13 and my older brother is 16. My parents are former musicians and both of me and my brother also decided to pursue music. They are rock musicians and my brother also sings rock and pop rock, pop and similar styles. He plays guitar and piano, participates in various music competitions and has a bunch of awards. Our people are terribly proud of him, and I'm happy for him too, but my parents don't care about me at all. I have been involved in sports since I was a child, but my achievements do not excite them. When we come home from school, they ask him how it went, if there is anything interesting, and I don't seem to be there. He missed school many times to go to rehearsals, and I even went to a cold. When there is a competition in another city, our people go with it, and they rarely come to my competitions. He has participated in competitions outside the country and many of his awards are prominent, and my medals and cups are in my room, only my first gold medal is among his awards. I also love my brother very much and I am happy for his success, I also love my parents, but I feel isolated from my family. I can't say I'm deprived of something because I get everything I want, but I want to get their attention, and I don't know how.

It is normal for them to be more interested and proud of his music, since they are also involved in it. You could, even necessarily, tell them that you would like them to be interested and support you in your activities, because they are important to you. Although they are not music. This will help them realize that they are ignoring you. They probably don't do it on purpose, and maybe sports aren't something very important to them. Thus, with communication and exchange of thoughts, you will overcome this neglect. Sometimes parents need help. No one is born a scientist to be a parent, but learns step by step.
