3 older siblings tell 16-year-old brother that he’s the reason they grew up in poverty: ‘They told me if I had never been born, everyone’s lives would be so much better, and it’s not our parents’ fault.’

He didn’t ask to be born, and yet he’s to blame for his siblings’ problems instead of the people who had more children than they could feed.

17-year-old refuses to give his parents $250 for his 8-year-old brother’s Christmas present after years of favoritism: ‘He might cry all day Christmas, but still my answer is no.’
