In my school most of the African American kids seem to have a family in school (not saying the Caucasians dont but I see more African americans doing this). Like for me, my big sister is a year older and if I am not doing what I am supposed to be she iwll confrotn me about it and then do somethign about it. Her sister is my other big sister and she does the same thing. I do the same thing for my little Brother Chris and my othe big sister T. I know must of the highschoolers and if they fidn out I am doign something they will take control to make sure I am doign what I am supposed to do.
Do kids near you do that? Why do you think they ddo that? Is there a purpose for these kids? Why do you think so?
My purpose: I get off track and need people to help me sometimes and who better than the people who I think of as my siblings?

yeah, that's common. my bff has a sister in the 6th grade and we are in the 8th. i have an older sister in the 12th grade and a little sister in the 2nd grade. most of my friends are only children, but some of them have siblings a few years older or younger then them.

In my school, people do not do that. I do not see the high school environment I am in a family environment. I attend a mostly African American school and it seems like that most people are just looking out for themselves. That is not a bad thing because it really builds your independence. But it should be more like a family environment though because everyone could be your support system, your chances of success increases, and the overall student participation becomes more positive.

yes, because they have bigger families and you guys are just teens.
