i agree with the more recent posts, ask if they need help. although it sounds to me like they are abusing their power over you. if you earn money and they just take it, thats stealing. no ifs or buts, it is stealing. tell them that it is theft and they are nothing but petty thieves.
you are nearly a man and deserve a little respect because even at 15 you are acting more responsibly than them. they are setting a terrible example to their children, i hope you dont have younger children in your house. they will see what your parents are doing and grow up thinking its ok just to take things that dont belong to you.
if they say you dont deserve respect then say simply that they arent getting anymore money and be inventive about where you hide it. they will likely threaten something close to your heart, fish probably but dont fall for it. saying how you dont deserve fish then so they must go, be strong. give in once and they know how to break you every time.
speak to a relative about it, maybe a grandma or grandad. they may be more sympathetic.

Be smart!
Go to school, get a college education/degree in a marketable field.
Then move out, and live life the way you want. As soon as you turn 21, I recommend...start drinking...Heavily.
Life sucks, it never gets any better. The older you get, the more problems and responsibilities you will have.
The only release you will have is through your hobbies.

quite a message to give to a youngster who holds a potentially remarkable and rewarding life ahead in his hands. its up to him how his life goes, life sucks as little or as much as he makes it. dont go telling him life sucks because dislike your own. encouraging drinking heavily is also in extremely poor taste as many children come here and will likely read this.
if you messed up your life so it sucks then thats your problem but dont go telling an impressionable teen how bad a life he has ahead of him. we should be encouraging him not destroying him before he has even had a go at life.

i was going to say maybe she is the youngest, that's why they treat her like that? but now you've said she is older then i dunno.. thats weird...!
i was always a troublemaker in my family compared to my sister. she was the golden child, straight A* grades, surgeon and married a boring surgeon to complete. i was always a wild child and did whatever i wanted, but then again i always got told off for it all.
but it sounds like they favour her above you. maybe the only way for you to escape this is just move out on your own when your old enough and save until then. DO NOT let them take your paychecks, if its for rent or something for the house i understand but why should your sister get it? if that was me i would have refused to give anything to them and then gone to ask my sister why she is being such an idiot.
wow, that is horrible advice to tell someone no matter what age you are!!!
Do not go out and drink and think the world is horrible and life sucks. That is not the case, you life is what you will make of it and how you view it. If you want your life to be great then you make it great and that is how you have to live. Finish school, go on to college and make something out of yourself and that is the best thing you can do for yourself. If things continue I would HIGHLY suggest listening to the idea of being inventive on hiding your money, stand up for your self and tell them NO. Do not give in and do not give them anymore money, tell them you worked for it, you earned it, it is YOURS to keep. If they have monetary issues then stealing money from a 15 year old or even asking them is not how they should be solving their money problems, you can't just simply rely on your kids as if its ok... maybe they need to consider things they can cut back on ect. As said before you can talk to them about it... and ask them if they need help, and say you will pay a certian bill or something (that you can afford and still have left over money) but thats as much as I would offer after they stole money from you (thats being nice, if it were me I wouldnt give them anything ever).
IMO I would seriously find a SUPER good hiding spot for your money, save up as much as you can (def. make sure they can't find it) and if you keep saving by the time your 18 you make sure you keep your job, work enough hours and look into moving out, rent a place with a friend so its cheap. The more you save the better off you will be, but remember to hide it good, if they find it thats a lot of money to lose... which I would think you have probably lost a lot as it is. I just think that is extremely wrong of a parent to do to their kid.

Well you can try to talk with other family members that might be understanding and maybe you can work something out with them? Maybe they can get you your own bank account? Try that, it's worth a shot. If thats the only reason your parents are taking your money, then yes you do need to stand up to that and let them know it's not ok and don't give in to them. Thats the best you can do right now.
I got 3 yrs left and I probly won't go to college but I can become a ferrier and you can make tons of money doing that if you know how to do it rite. And I also was in my room last nite and found a hiding place I almost died trying to get my money there so I think I got the money hidden better
