How does this make you feel about my family?
My mom always plays favorites with my sister. The other day my sister was telling how she made fun of this boy at college for wearing pajamas to class everyday. My mom, and I am not kidding, was actually praising her for this behavior. While when I gave some person a ride because his have dumped and took the car, so he couldn't drive anywhere and he was stranded. I was ridiculed for doing this for helping out a person in need, while my sister gets praised for insulting a random person. My mom says I am not as good as my sister because I don't study psychology and Itailian, like she does, and I don't go to a "good" college. I study Taekwondo, History, Criminal Justice, Politics, Cultures of the World, and religion. When I told my mom this she told me to shut the **** up. How do you guys view this behavior. Please be thoughtful with your answers. Thank you
Another thing I forgot to mention was that my mom gives my sister boat loads of money while at college while I am alomst destitute. Plus the money I make my parents won't let me spend, and one time my mom threw my phone at me saying buy your own damn phone

I feel bad for you...
Your mother sounds very petty and your sister if just like her. I think it's sad when a mother favors one child over another. If you were my child I would be very proud of you.
My advice to you is to just keep doing what you are doing and know that you are a good person. She may have not liked you giving someone a ride out of fear for you, but she did it in the wrong way. It sounds to me like your mother is very mean spirited and setting a bad example for her kids. But good for you for knowing better!
Good luck!

Your family is (probably) pretty normal. Parents are NOT perfect. Your 'worth' is not determined by what classes you take in college. You are holding to the better character traits (helpfulness, concern for others, etc.)
Have you ever discussed this behavior with your Mom? If not, you better just get used to letting it 'roll off your back', like water off of a duck. You will be the better person for it.
Never tire of 'doing what is right'....

This behaviour isnt good , how about you sit down with your mom and have a serious talk with her tell everything exactly how you feel about everything.
