Everybody knows that there are a lot of problems nowadays, including misunderstanding between relatives. It seems to me I am treated badly in my family, that's why my parents and I must pay much attention to our situation.
My friend gave me a couple of advice. We should arrange a date and meet a psychologist. Then, everyone of us must learn how to get alone each other, how to compromise and to find the ways of getting rid of those quarrels between my brother and sister. I should make my parents listen to me, and tell them every my trouble and problem. Explain them what is wrong with me, ask them to understand my feelings.
I hope everything will get better and my family will find a compromise.  We must fight for our life and never give up! You need to treat each other with trembling, prevent threats to each other. The most terrible thing is treachery, it is impossible to understand and forgive. Our close people deserve kindness and mutual understanding, love and sincerity.
