Start by letting your parents know how you feel. Explain that you understand your sibling receives more attention and affirm that you love them, but ask for the same amount of affection and attention from your parents. Talk to them about setting boundaries and dividing the attention equally between both siblings. If that does not work, talk to a trusted adult about how you can take initiative in taking up the slack. Showing initiative could mean offering to organize extracurricular activities or volunteering to provide pastoral care while making sure your needs as an individual are being met as well by engaging in activities and showing good academic performance.

You could subtly make your feelings known to your parents. For example, when they are giving attention to your sibling, you could ask for some of the same things that they are providing to your sibling. You could also try talking with them about how you feel neglected and provide evidence that it is not just happening once in a while but is an ongoing issue. Additionally, speaking with a trusted adult such as a counselor or teacher can help you find coping strategies and possible solutions to resolve the situation.
