    I think your feelings about your sister are very normal and that you shouldn’t make things harder on yourself by feeling guilt about them. You are 15 years old and at an age where you feel as though everyone notices everything about you. This is normal too. People will tell you that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks but anyone who remembers accurately what it feels like to be a teenager will understand that is not a helpful statement. I would try to focus on the important things. Your sister can’t help herself. She deserves your compassion and love. I think it is sad for you that your parents don’t understand that her disability affects your life every bit as much as theirs. I would try to cultivate some other avenues of support. Friends, religous and school leaders etc. Remember that your life is important too and try to develop your own interests and goals. Good luck to you.
