[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]your brother is an ungrateful asshole, and it's telling that "you can see his point of view". your parents made many mistakes, most obviously, invest so heavily in their oldest children at the expense of their younger children, and also, by misunderstanding education at american schools. you would have been better off studying medicine in india and then coming to the US.[/quote]

When poor people become lower middle class and want to educate their children, they are not very aware of educational pathways or how to plan financially.  Poverty in India is different from poverty in US.  OP's father have achieved a lot by educating his kids in the first place because that is unussual in India.  Free and quality K-12 educatuon like in the US is not available to the majority of children and where it is available the aim is to make student literate not educated.

OP, it is not fun to be poor and this kind of chronic scarcity you and your family are undergoing can make you become negative and depressed.  You and your family need to sit together and work out a budget and get a fair idea of what the true financial picture is.  You have to help and pay at least the money spent on you (the loan and interest) back to your parents before you can think of walking away.  The same must be shared with your sibling who is feeling tremendous stress.

Look for loan forgiveness plan as well as start a GoFundMe if you need to.  Fundraise, ask for charity and loan forgiveness.    There is a way out of this darkness but your siblings have to be educated to stand on their own two feet[/quote]
