Just pray to God for reassurance. Keep praying. God always handles things with time. God has a plan for you and this is all part of it. So just live for, and with God. Pray for your brother and mother and read your bible for help and reassurance.

Answer 4

Don't look to christ or your mother or brother, look to yourself and what you want out of life. There are many obstacles in life to overcome, the main one is Growing up. Life will take you in all different directions and be happy that you are actually "feeling" something. Depression can often be a sign that you are more aware of your feelings and self. Embrace it and let it tell you what it wants to tell you. You will grow out of it if you open up about it and don't hide it, talk to others, every teenager gets depression and anxiety! It's normal and don't worry about what your brother is good at, excel at your own things, grow in your own way. Tell your mother that her attitude hurts you and that you would love to hear her compliment you on something good you can do!!
