DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to say any family role is easy. This is just one family role that's problems are generally overlooked, which isn't okay. This is a project to spread awareness on this topic, not tear anyone else down. (press the flag) but now onto the vent This is a shoutout to the youngest sibling. This is a shoutout to the ignored, the neglected, the invisible, the left behind, the bullied, the forgotten, and the pushed aside. The kids who watched all their siblings move out. Who lived without a mentor. Who had parents who were done parenting by the time they came along, or kids that didn't get to have a childhood because of overprotective parents not letting them experience it. The kids who were sitting upstairs, playing cards alone at 16 because the "Adults" were talking downstairs. The kids who are constantly ridiculed by the internet, their family, their friends. The kids who didn't get to meet Grandma. Or their sibling's childhood dog. Or Dad. The kids who aren't in the photo albums or the old memories. The kids who didn't experience the so called "Perfect" family. And when they go through all this, these kids are called spoilt and lucky. This is for them. For you. For me. You matter. Your voice matters. Being the youngest doesn't make your struggles any less real. It doesn't make your dreams smaller or your worth any less. Even if it feels like the world doesn't notice you, doesn't care about you, or doesn't appreciate you, you have the power to change that narrative. You don't have to be the side character or the comic relief. You can step into the spotlight of your own story. So if you ever felt like you don't matter or you aren't heard, know this: You're the author of your story, and it's time to write a chapter where you own the lead role. To older siblings, think next time you make fun of your little brother. I promise, it won't kill you to play Barbies with your little sister for 20 minutes. They look up to you. Heck, they want to BE you. One day, they will grow up. And when they grow up, do you want them to remember giggling with you over ice cream, or crying over you yelling? Be kind today. Because tommorrow it will be too late. Please remix to spread awareness! Feel free to vent in the comments, I'm always here❤️ ~Sirena
