Do people look down on me because I haven't done A Levels and because I haven't gone to University? Do people like and respect me less because of my education?

Thank you in advance for all of the help and advice, I am very grateful.

Well I don't know you but from what I've read, I certainly wouldn't look down on you! You have loads of qualifications, way more than me and I'm studying A Levels at the moment!

your brothers are being unkind maybe its because you are showing them up by being so diligent - Good for you - Mostly we dont use qualifications to get respect only to get jobs - People respect you because you're a nice person mainly.Your brothers seem to have a problem with yu - maybe you got more attention than they did and it has made them want to put you down - Try asking in the family .
But no one gives yu an easy ride iin an exam it is pass or not pass and oyu have all of these qualifications so enjoy tehm - I hope that you get a job.

No, do you maybe not think you are better than they are?
People like people who would listen to them, resumes are boring, and so are people who can only talk about themselves.
