Sibling

Being raised with three other siblings is not the easiest task I have been tested with. Although my siblings are a blessing, they can also be demons sent from hell but my love for them is unconditional. They have shaped my life in many incomprehensible ways. Ways that if I tried explaining would sound absurd. We are a bunch of crazy and obnoxious children and that is the reality of it.

Scott and Bobby’s sibling relationship isn’t the best at first. Scott wanted to ask Bobby for advice about how to handle high school, so Scott called him. Unfortunately, Bobby didn’t pick up. After Bobby was arrested, Scott asked Booby how he got girls to notice him in high school. Bobby said that he didn’t have to do anything because they just noticed him naturally.

Sibling conflict has always been an issue. However, it is taken to an entirely other level when it comes to my brother and I.

When I ask him to stop he began to mimic me. Now

Sibling rivalry and the factors that cause it is an intense topic. Bruno Bettelheim is one of the many writers who discuss the topic and how it is created into the households of many families. Bettelheim states “While all children at time suffer greatly from sibling rivalry, parents seldom sacrifice one of their children to the others, nor do they condone the other children’s persecuting of them”.
