She just does work that's all she does...

She asks why I never tell her about school well this is partly why

Because she never actually cares!!! Just my sister.

My sister goes on and on about her day and she just listens and does not pay a bit of attention o her computer.

Then one night I'm in a good mood so I decide to tell her about it and she just looks at her computer while working and nodding along.

Then basically implies that she has no time for me.

I always try to tell her something hoping to get something as little as "I'm proud of you." 

Yet I get waved off.

She always complain about her work and goes on and on about her day but when I try 

I get told to go away. 

Whats so much better about my sister?

She gets all the good attention and whenever I try to get good attention I'm waved off or it gets ignored

Whenever my sister gets in trouble or antagonizes me she doesn't even get spoken  to.

While when it's the opposite I get told what a bully I am and how much of a brat I am.

/Event at Dad's work and friend happens to be there/

Dad: Hey Zoey! Is Elizabeth nice at school? 

Zoey: /nods/

Dad: /mumbles/ The way she acts at home proves otherwise 

why am I always caught in my siblings' shadows? 

Me: "Hey mom I got a 95 on a quiz today!"

Mom: with the most bland voice ever "Cool." 

Dad: Trying to be nice and ask about it. "Oh really?! Great job. What was it on?"

Me: Answers the question 

Dad: "Wow! That's what I was helping you--" 

Mom: "Hey be quiet Sydney is trying to talk about her hundred." Moves away her laptop and gives all attention to Sydney. 

Dad: Ignores mom "on the other day right? I'm proud of you!" 

Me: "Thanks." Cracks a small smile before trailing off to room.

It's like she just doesn't care!! 

I just want to please her and make her proud of me yet it feels like I annoy her when I even try to say anything about school. 

Whenever I do something nice it's hardly ever even noticed while my sister gets thanked by my mom for fixing the freaking carts at a grocery store when I do that all most everytime I put a cart up...no joke.

Man, I know how it feels to be put on the back burner a lot. Expect it's opposite with my Father instead.
I don't know if it'd really work for you but I had to confront my parent. If you manage to get your Mother
alone you could ask her why she does those things. I tried it and it worked for a bit...but that was only after
my brother pointed out how our Father was an in which my Father was like, "Oh . Okay." (Even though
I had been trying to say the same thing for years).

Being overshadowed by your siblings and having a parent overlook you, . But so far, there isn't much you can
do unless you drop it and stop trying..(which you shouldn't do). But I really think you should talk to her. If taking
face to face doesn't happen since she seems to be ignoring you, try an email or a letter.

Don't forget you can come to me about these things and I'll make a big deal out of it. :^)
But 95%, yaaasssssssssss!
