I really hate my birthday?
My twelfth birthday my mom handed me (didn't wrap or or anything) this teddy bear from the dollar store and said happy birthday and that was all the mention of my four person household
My thirteenth birthday, I wanted to throw a party, since I hadn't had one when I turned twelve because I was new to the district and didn't have many friends, and the year prior we were living on couches/air matrices at friends because we didn't have a house so I couldn't have one, year before that I was living with someone other than my mom and the year before that we were living out of the car, YEAR BEFORE THAT I think we were in the middle of moving or something. Anyway I wanted to do something for my thirteenth because I hadn't celebrated my birthday in years so I invited my "best friends" over to have a party. They never showed up, though they said they would, didn't call of text me (I'm the one that brought it up the following Monday; they had "other plans") and my brother wanted to cheer me up, so
he baked me a cake. And he made a huge deal out of it, and we decorated it together, and he had those 1-3 candles , but when I went to have a piece he said I couldn't have any because there was something I was allergic to in it. So he ate in in front of me, I started crying and he and my mom got mad and said I was overreacting and said I was on my period.
My fourteenth, I had a party with my cousins and two other girls. They ended up staying an extra night, ate most of the food in our house, refused to do anything I wanted to do (like I know if you have guests, you're the host, but it was my birthday?) watched some inappropriate shows my mom didn't like IN OUR LIVING ROOM, broke my birthday gift (my brother bought me a sled, I think he felt guilty about last year. For what it's worth that was my only gift) and:
My one friend Mary is addicted to Amp energy drinks, but we are NOT ALLOWED to have those in my house because I take medication that as a side affect increases m
my heartrate and my moms convinced they'll kill me. So I told Mary she couldn't bring them, I'd get in trouble. But at like ten at night, she made her dad drive over and bring her some, even though I kept saying not to. She promised my mom wouldn't find out , then left the cans just laying my my room and I got in a **** TON of trouble. And my mom spent the whole time complaining about how rude all my friends were (and they kinda were, they kept saying how dirty my house was.)except the day of my actual birthday she spent most of it in her room and I didn't really talk to her at all
I tried talking to my mom how she basically forgets my birthday every year and she said I was trying to make her feel guilty because Christmas is coming up. Then she said I was too old for birthdays anyway.
I don't know, I'm turning 15 in January and I don't know if I should even try this year?

Too old for birthdays? That's a strange comment. Doesn't she celebrate her birthday? I'd give up on expecting anything. If your family comes up with anything at all, I'd take that as a pleasant surprise.
Some people don't celebrate birthdays, like Jehovah Witnesses. There are millions of people who don't have the money to buy birthday presents for their loved ones. Many people are so poor that they would be happy just to have good food and a real bed to sleep in. Apparently, you were homeless for awhile. Be thankful you aren't homeless now. At least you have family. Many people are alone on their birthdays and other holidays, without anyone in their lives who care whether they live or die.
Instead of expecting other people to get you a cake or do anything for your birthday, be proactive. Instead of waiting for a call from Grandma that may never come, give her a call. Buy yourself something with your own money that you made by babysitting or something. Did you know there are a lot of freebies you could get for your birthday if you just sign up for them? http://abcnews.go.com/Business/best-birthday-freeb...

In case nobody else tells you later, Happy Birthday!

Have your own fun. You don't need your family to acknowledge your birthday for you to enjoy it. If you have genuine friends enjoy it with them.
