I am 14 and the youngest of 5 aged 18,17,16,15,14. My parents said that they'd like to adopt a baby as long we were all happy with it. I'm the only one not happy as I want to stay being the youngest, should I hide my feelings to let them adopt cause if they knew how I was feeling they'd forget about it. Please help.

I think you need to talk to your parents about this.

While I think your reason for not wanting them to is petty in some ways, I understand the validity of your feelings, as well.

If you talk it over with your parents, maybe you can both come to an understanding about it.

Talk with your parents and tell them just what you wrote here. Your feelings are important, but if you talk honestly it does not mean they will change their mind about adopting.

Talking to them will help all of you come to a compromise. Its important that you do not hide your feelings though. They don't want to bring a child into the house that you will not want around. Thank them for considering your feelings; it was very good of them to think of everyone as a whole. :)
