God, I would much rather be an only child, I feel like I live in my brother's shadow. He gets better grades, is better-looking, younger, and a golden-child to my parents. (I'm 19 BTW) WTF man. For those of you who are only children, CHERISH IT!
What do u think:?

lol you'll live. How would you feel if something happened to your brother tomorrow? hmm maybe that was a bad question. Okay do things to make your parents proud also. Dont blame your brother. Just start studying in school harder, take your grades more seriously....it should boost your confidence and make your parents proud. As far as your looks go....maybe thats just your opinion. Maybe theres people out there who feel that you are more attractive. Im sure your parents dont see things like that either...well just try to improve all of the aspects of your life in positive ways....good luck :)

I would kind of say in a low voice , "an only child is a lonely child.". Short and Sweet ,, In time you will cherish you brother. Give it time .. Family is the greatest thing ever .. So many single children would have loved for their parents to have had another child, people want siblings,, You will get past this phase .. Good Luck .. Love your brother ..
Merry Christmas

No. When you are young it seems you fight all the time but as you are now 19, you are beginning to find your own identity, own style away from his. Think about it--only children had all the parents attention (no rule breaking cause you were watched 24/7), no getting by with "I didnt do it" cause you are the only one there, and played most games with imaginary friends or stuffed animals. I had to play board games like SORRY with the dog and he never stayed til the end. And even though you feel compared to him, you also have a co-conspirator in crime, someone you could laugh with and share secrets with. Someone you could sneak off with and promise not to tell your parents. And when you are older a best friend for life, someone who completely understands. An only child spends a lot of time being told "children should be seen and not heard" and no one to play with.

Well, I have 2 sisters and a niece and a nephew I'm 21, my older siser is 34, my younger sis is 17, my niece 19 and my nephew 14. I do go crazy at times with them around but then again.. I love having them around because they're fun and lovable. Besides, we just lost our mom and we stuck together and I think if I was alone and had no one to turn to then I'd be more upset. Besides, I know how it feels to be in someone's shadow...you just have to remind yourself of who you are and let your parents know too. Being an only child is ok... but I can't say because I don't know.

I can't imagine being an only child. I would think that it would be terribly lonely. When we were younger me and my sister constantly fought. When we became teenagers our relationship changed and although we still fought sometimes became very close and the best of friends. I am 30 and she is 28 and I talk to her or see her every single day. Maybe things are tense with you and your brother now but maybe in the future you will become closer like me and my sister. Good Luck!

i know what you mean about him being better looking and things like that, some times maybe it would be better to be an only child, but maybe you should think "wouldn't you miss your brother? i have been there and i know how you feel it should all get better soon, believe me, i am nineteen also thanks and i hope everything gets better soon
