14-year-old cries when his parents and older siblings speak only in Mandarin when he can barely understand it: 'I told my mom that she is mocking me for not knowing how to speak our native language'

  AITA for crying when my entire family started to speak a language I barely know?

  It doesn't matter your ethnicity or background: you only have one native language, and it's the language you acquire fluency in 1st. You can have native equivalency if you grew up speaking more than one language before age 5, but fluency in a language does not equal native speaking.
