How can I cope with being the “black sheep”?

I am entirely different from my two sisters. We look different, and act different completely. I have golden brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin; my sisters are green-eyed, dark-haired and tanned.
They are the artsy type, and my older sister’s paintings are hung up around the house, and receive comments and wows from visitors. My mom is an artistic person too. I don’t have much of any artsy talents; being much more scientific and mathematically-minded. Both my sisters love our rural surroundings, and are real outdoorsy girls. I wish to be in the city, and around people.
I feel like my mom accepts my sisters more as her daughters than me, even though I’m the only child in my family that looks like her. They get along better, and I can tell that they understand each other more.
I try and please my parents with straight A’s and showing them my cheerleading stunts at school games. But they don’t seem to appreciate anything I do as much as my sisters.
Any help?
i know how you feel, you just need to let your parents know how you feel and start doing things they’ll be proud of
I think you think too much. Best tip to living happily is being carefree.
Why do you call yourself the black sheep? They are!
I understand where you are coming from. My mother is like that except worse. I’m sure she loves you though – talk to your mum or dad (depends who’s more approachable) and get your feelings out. Don’t burst out, sit down and talk. good luck
enjoy your youth.. dont think much of your actions..just do everything happily
