Urgh , I don't know whether any of you guys have experienced this.
I live in an Asian country , and most older asians are still gender-biased. They tend to favor the males more cause only the males can pass down the family name as the females will be married into another family.
I really really feel like leaving this house as soon as I graduate from high school ( next year ), that's when I'm 17. By the time I can actually study in college / university ( 18 years old now lol ) , I'm planning to move out and stay at hostels or dorms and work as a part-timer somewhere. I don't think that I will visit my family as often though.
1) My Grandmother .
She is racist and gender-biased. She favors my elder brother A LOT . Like waaaaaay more than me. This happened when I was like in primary school , maybe 10 years old I guess ? We were eating dinner in the dining room , and there were a plate of spareribs, she loudly exclaimed ' Girl , you take the bones and give the meat to Ah Boy ( my brother ) '. I mean like , wtf ? Well over the years, I've kinda got over her insults and her favoritism, well sometimes I would really really blow up and get pissed off.
2) My mom .
Actually she's not as bad as my grandmother but it's obvious to me that her favorite child is her son. My parents would normally reward us for any achievements and stuff, so yeah , this is a story about something that happen when I was 6. Getting over my phobia of water, I managed to swim one whole lap in the pool, naturally my mom brought us to celebrate. Our celebration was cut short when my brother continuously whined about something and in the end the celebration was cut short. Few days ago , I told her that I will leave this house as soon as possible and come back like during the festive seasons. She got all hurt and said stuff like , ' How about me ? You know we treat all of you equally ' blablabla .
3) My brother.
He is 19 this year. He has a job selling apple products at a retailer store and earn quite a fair bit of money. The problem is this, his results weren't really good and he can't study in high school ( form 6 ) or any local universities / college. Being a stuck-up b*tch as he is, he lied to my mom about the date of retaking the exam , in the end my mom had to pay a hefty amount to send him to a semi-private college. He is always wasting my mom's money buying unnecessary stuff, when I ask my mom why was she paying for his fetish about anime dolls and gaming stuff, she said that his pay wasn't really high and all those shit. Yet she told me that our family cannot afford to send ME to college or university therefore need to study in highschool. I got upset and I confronted at that b*st*rd , and he told me with a smug and shit eating grin on his face , ' 我爽啊,又不管你的事 ' meaning ' I'm comfortable with it , and it's not your problem also ' .
I try my hard to be the best in every aspect. I've won numerous awards in sports / arts / story telling / singing and all that shit , have average grades , use my own money that I've saved up from allowances / working or performing , and yet they still favorite my brother lots more. Urgh , I feel really fed up with them , I just can't wait for my life in college/uni .
