Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML

How about you just start failing school and say I wanted my brother to get the good grades.

This is the time where you stop caring about your parents' opinion, **** them.

While everyone is saying "**** your parents man!" and "Its just life!" its NOT that easy. They are his parents. Everyone spends their lives wanting their parents to love them. They either learn to soften the blow as they get older, suppress the hurt, or not. But he should not have to. His parents are jerks. No matter what the Op did something good, he won an award. His brother might not have won it. So I applaud you Op for doing a good job. Don't let them tell you differently, you have earned it fairly (unless you cheated).

#14, yeah, because all kids get to pick out their parents before a man and women have sexual intercourse...seriously? -.- To the OP, your parents sound like dicks. If your brother makes fun or anything, bash his face in and tell your parents that you feel like bunking off school if they are gonna bunk off responsibilities as parents...

tell your parents to get over themselves and stop acting like butholes

OMG, the same thing happened to me when I was a kid. i won the school spelling bee (in 4th grade), and my mother told me not to display the trophy because it would make my older sister (in 6th grade) feel bad! Too bad sis! It went right on my dresser, as did the ones for the next two years.

you don't have very nice parents, they should be happy for you.

My mother did something similar to me. I was on holiday with my family in Australia. We were visiting my uncle and his family when I received an Email from my university saying I had been accepted into the medical school, naturally I was ecstatic and wanted to tell everyone. My mother basically ordered me to not spread it around because it "Might make your cousin jealous." My cousin is 6 years old and still thinks that she can be a mermaid when she grows up.

Im sorry your parents favor your brother. Almost all households with more than one sibling, there's favoritism. I know because my two brothers are favored in my family. I'm actually considered a second version of my oldest brother, who got in a fight with my mother after coming back from the Marines for some odd reason and was kicked out and forced to live with his father. It's sad to see it but it happens.
