Why is it always me?

I don't know if anyone else has ever felt this way before, but I for one have felt this way during numerous occasions. I watch everyone around me and they seem to be successful in whatever it is they're doing. They achieve their goals without going through any particular hardships. Some people fail, then try again and succeed, while others just seem to fly through the whole process and get to where they want when they want. Bad things keep happening to me. I see people who have done the same things I have but end up with better results.

The first thing that I need to rant about are my braces. Well, technically my teeth, since I have already gotten my braces off. After 2 and a half years of being a brace-face, I was finally free from worrying about having this mornings breakfast stuck on my braces. However, my mom is not too happy with the results. Due to some problems, to avoid having to extract teeth, my top jaw is a little more flared than it should be. Well, why me? Why can't I just have a normal jaw like everyone else and get my braces on and off normally like everyone else and NOT have to trouble over the results of my not-so perfect teeth. Is suffering for 2 and a half years not enough? ... WHY ME?

My second rant is of job hunting. My friend and I both applied for a position at a store. They are currently hiring for seasonal and maybe part-time. My friend got a call for an interview, and she was hired the next day. As for me, I got a call and an interview, but no call. Was I really that horrible during my interview? ... WHY NOT ME?

My third and most depressing rant: I am currently having a silent war with my siblings. We had an argument on Wednesday and have been giving each other the silent treatment ever since. My sister and brother are talking, just not to me. So every time they're around, they talk to each other and I only talk to my parents. I'm trying not to be home as much because I can't stand the feeling I get when I'm around them and they're happily talking to each other. I'm not someone who goes out, so instead, all I can do to keep the pain within is to lock myself in my room. It's not that I hate my siblings, but why do they always seem to hurt me so bad? ... WHY ME?

So far the only good thing about this week is that I did well on my quiz.
