In my family I am the middle child. I always feel like I am not important and that no one cares about me. I mean my birhtday just passed and all I got was 20 dollars and a card when my brother (the youngest) got a New biker that cost 350 dollars, a new $50 sweater, and a $30 hat. I was hurt that my brother got all this stuff and I only got 20 dollars. Also my mom had wrote are birthdays on the calendar and SHE GOT MINE WRONG ! I am also to one who always gets yelled at for stuff. Even if I didn't do it. I don't know what to do about it. I feel so unloved :(

Have you tried talking to your parents about how you feel? Sometimes parents don't realize how hurtful they can be, especially when they are so busy with chillens, work, paying bills, and trying to find some intimate time for themselves!

Talk to them and let them know how you feel. You might be surprised!

Talk to your parents about this... although I'm not really sure what to tell you because at my house my brother is the middle child but we are all treated the same...

Again - stop using text speak. Where are the moderators? (Busy, I know)

Next year mark your birthday on the "family calendar" so everyone knows the right day. Don't feel bad about mom getting the date wrong. For the life of me I could not remember what day my son was born on when I went to register him at school. I could not remember if it was the 24th or the 26th. And yes, I got it wrong.

If you are much older than your little brother, then you should take the $20 in stride. If you are not say 5 years older than little brother, then I think you should have a nice quiet talk with mom about spending so much on brother and getting you a token $20.

Have you asked your parents why?

I've been disappointed myself, but I know that only seven months ago, my mom had a lot of money to spend, but even in just a few months the economy has hit bad. I already I'm getting an IOU for my birthday, and I understand.

There are plenty of reasons to make your parents stressed/broke/etc. Before accusing them of not loving you, find out the facts first.

As for the "you are always getting yelled at" thing, just so you know, all kids see it that way. I've had a talk with all of my siblings, and we all thought that we were the ones getting in trouble the most time.
We then counted for three months, and it was just about dead even! XD

Good bonding experience!

My brother and sister both tell me that I am one always getting yelled at the most.

Beginning to suspect the same thing...

Listen girl, I don't care what you think, even if you are the middle child, all of the drama in the household does not revolve around you, and you are only putting yourself up to put yourself down by believing it does...
Hope that made sense.

Anyway, it's all fine. You are allowed unsupervised internet access, as indicated by your post here, so enjoy the freedom you have while you can; quit complaining and have fun!

Sometimes in life it just isn't fair and we have to turn the wrongs people do into positive.
Like I really never had much time for my one daughter because my older daughter had insecurity issues and my sons were a handful with attention deficit and other needs.
So she basically figured things out on her own. Now she is very independent and has learned some things that kind of took my other kids longer to figure out. But my other kids learned some things that she hasn't really come to realize. Basically it all balances out in the grand scheme of life.
I don't know what you can say or do to change your parents but within yourself learn to be strong.
