Pick someone that dictates rules to you.  This is probably going to be a parent or school.  Then, find things they do that seem arbitrary or prejudicial in your case.

Yah, the main thing is being realistic in grievances.  With parents, "Won't let me stay up till 2 in the morning," is not that great a choice.  Sounds more like you would want to goof off and they are not allowing it.  On the other hand, "These rules have been changed:..." or "Other siblings treated differently in these ways...." are more like grievances.
