Personal experience, I'm a black sheep in my family. I'm the oldest and also the rebellious one. But over time, your family will love you for who you are. Be truthful and honest about yourself. If you are bad, you are bad and need to change your behavior. If you good, just keep that head above water and you'll be alright.

Taking in consideration of what means most to them, as well as yourself. So, that you don't end up hitting rock bottom yourself, if they don't like you for who you are.

You can let them know that you don't like or appreciate the way they treat you and the way they make you feel. Let them know that what they are doing truly hurts your feelings

One thing you should definitely avoid doing is trying to change for the benefit of others. Stay true to yourself! The best thing to do is talk to your family about how you are feeling and explain you would like to see some change. Then, you can talk together about how you can work on this. You don't get to choose your family, but what you can do, is choose to make the best of it.

Try to talk to your closest family member first (or the most sensible) about how you feel. Try to explain that you are unhappy with how you are being treated.

Unfortunately, you can't change the way that anyone else feels about you. You can only change your own behaviors and reactions. Is there a reason that they think of you as the black sheep? Is there something you feel is keeping you from being closer to them? Are you interested in changing that to be more acceptable to them? It sounds like it is important to you that they see you as an integral part of the family - what are you willing to do to accomplish that?

Within your family, you should feel comfortable with telling them this is how you feel. I, myself, am also quite a bit different than my family members and was treated this way, but I found out that conversing with them and telling them that I felt like I was always singled out from our sports crazed family, let them see how I was feeling. Now, they make sure to ask me about school and even my personal interests in between who's playing basketball tonight and who's starting.
