When I was younger I was jealous over my cousins getting very nice expensive things. It made me feel like my parents didn't love me as much. I didn't directly do anything about it but I matured which made me realize that I should and I am very grateful for everything I have.

I think most kids don't understand things like this, even now my younger cousins get all these things but I honestly appreciate my parents for not getting me everything I wanted.

I went through the same thing. Maturing definitely helps you realize that they do love you just in different ways. I like how you wrote this as well.

I was jealous of my friend for being able to go to a Formula Drift event in Salt Lake. I was happy for him being able to go but I was kind of upset that I wasn't able to go. I didn't do anything except congratulate him. There wasn't really a problem so there was nothing to do about it.

In the 2nd grade I was jealous of my brother for always being faster than me. I hated it so I kept trying to win but I never did.

I was jealous when I was younger because my sister had a later bed time then I did and it made me mad since I didn't understand she was older than me. My parents sat me down and explained it to me and everything was fine after that.

It is interesting how when we are younger how easily it can be for us to get jealous over the little things.

Piper

I hated this as a kid.

When my brother got to take the first shot at a big bull twice and I never got to shoot at one that season.

Colton

9/20/2022 12:15:38 pm

It made me feel mad that he missed and still got to shoot. I didn't do anything about it and it never got solved.

When I was a kid, I got jealous of my cousin and my aunt for hanging out with their friends without me. I hated this feeling, I just wanted to be included and I wasn't. I didn't do anything about the situation because I was too young to know. So it kept happening.

Liberty

9/20/2022 12:14:48 pm

That happened to me too!

Erin Jones

It's really hard on the younger ones to be excluded. It is really lonely feeling and not being mature enough to understand it is pretty rough on the young mind.

I felt jealous when I wanted this present for Christmas and I asked for it. I watched my sister open the gift and it was the shoes I wanted and asked for. I didn't do anything about it and I felt sad and confused why it wasn't mine.

Anika

9/20/2022 12:16:28 pm

Oh that sucks that your sister got them.

I used to get jealous of my cousin always getting more things than me during things like Christmas. I never did anything about it and as I got older I realized that material things don't matter to me as much anymore and I should be happy with what I have.

I have been jealous of others hair that was long and shiny when I was in middle school. So I ended up growing it out and buying products that will help. It made me feel sad.

When I was jealous of someone I tried to change myself. It did not solve the problem, it had a negative impact on my life.

I have been jealous of how pretty my sister is. How perfect and white her teeth are. It makes me feel not pretty. Instead of getting mad I complement how pretty she is. It helps boost my self esteem

Hannah Rich

I am also jealous of my sister for the same reason. I just hated that I was older but she still got more attention and I was the one who got in trouble all the time and attracted less people

I was jealous of my brother always being stronger than me even though I went to the gym. It annoyed me. So I went to the gym more and ate more food until I was stronger.

I used to get jealous of my sister because she got the upstairs room and I got the downstairs room. It made me feel upset because it was something that I couldn't have. I had to wait for her to move out and I gave it around three days until I moved my room upstairs. Jealousy didn't solve the problem but waiting for her to move out did.

Logan

A time I felt jealous was when my little brother got air pods and he doesn't even have a phone and I got socks and deodorant for Christmas. It made me really pissed and the problem could not be solved.

I was jealous of my sister because she has more freedoms from my parents than me. I didn't do anything about it because I knew that my parents wouldn't do anything, but once I was older i got those same freedoms so i am not jealous anymore.

Riley J

9/20/2022 04:58:54 pm

That is frustrating

Hannah Rich

I used to be jealous of people who were better than me at video games because I really wanted to be good at them and it was frustrating but then I didn’t care because I don’t play very many video games anymore

Hannah Rich

I have always been jealous of my sister. She is more wordly beautiful and focuses on what she wears and fashion. My personality is a lot different as well because I am more extroverted. I would get so jealous, that I refused to let my sister meet my friends, especially boys, because they would all ask me about my sister. So I got to a point where I quit having friends and it actually did nothing for me.
