Dear Teentalker,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. Sibling comparison is unfortunately very common in the society, we live in, but it still can hurt a great deal, particularly when comparisons are made on the basis of appearance.
Remember that in life, each one of us is gifted with different talents and qualities and it is upto each one of us to make the most of what we have. It's important to focus on those things in life we have control over, rather than focusing on things which we cannot control.
You are gifted with being academically smart, so focus on working towards your future. As far as family and relatives reactions to appearance is concerned, please note that nobody can make you feel small or inferior without your permission. You can choose to ignore the hurtful comments and focus on the positive aspect of the outings or maybe, you might just want to consider spending more time with people who will accept you and respect you for who you are.
Once again, focus on your strengths and your long-term goals and things will only continue to get better with time.
