I think mothers just simply love their children differently. Not more for this one than that one, just different. I was the oldest of 4 and was 10 years older than the youngest brother. I ALWAYS felt he was the favorite. I am 45 now, so I can laugh when I look back at it all. 2nd, you are 17, and most girls, including myself, go through this "I hate my mom" stage. You are an older teenager and finding yourself and your independence. All of these feelings you are having are perfectly normal. I felt exactly the same way when I was your age.
But I can tell you this, if this gives you any hope: It got worse for me before it got better. My mom and I had a really difficult time 18, 19, 20. But then all of a sudden, we because REALLY close. I can tell you now, beyond a doubt, my mom is my best friend and biggest supporter and we are closer now than we have ever been. I matured, she let go so to speak. Make sense? Once I moved out, we were free to become friends. I really and truly enjoy my time with my mom. I talk to her on the phone almost every day. My husband laughs and says "What could you possibly have to say to your mom for 45 straight minutes? Didn't you talk with her yesterday?" You are not a bad child. Again this is normal. But you are at a point in your life where you need to begin to make decisions and become independent and find your own way. IE: Doing well in school and planning for college and a better future, or getting into a trade school after HS. My mom could not afford to buy me a car. I had to work and earn it and I truly appreciated it. By the time my youngest brother was 16, my mom was able to help him out. I was 26 and on my own at that point, so I had no reason to be jealous then. I made my own way and can be proud of myself, and I know my mom is proud of me. I hope this does not sound too sappy for you. But just wanted you to know that this is normal, and eventually, it does get better with time and effort. Good luck to you! You focus on you and your future. Your mom will come around.
