Recommended: Reference to having a broken family

I love my brother dearly, but he needs to get his life together. As kids, we usually got along and never fought too much. After elementary school, I was only in the same school building as him for one year, so I did not think we would ever really have big problems. Little to my knowledge, things would get much worse after he moved out. After stealing, tattling, and playing innocent, my brother has made my life a living nightmare. I thought my brother had always been an honest guy, but it turns out that he steals. When we were growing up, he would never steal or take things without asking. After he moved out, I had shoulder surgery and the doctor gave me prescription pain medicine. My mom also had some cash in her vanity. My brother stole my pills, tried replacing them with a similarly shaped pill, and took some of my mom’s cash. Meanwhile, I was trying to explain to my parents how my brother was getting out of control and they did not believe me. Not only does my brother steal, he also tattles. Yes, I …show more content…

Any time my brother starts to tattle on me, he forgets to mention the fact that he does drugs on the daily. Austin has never fully paid my parents or grandparents back for anything they’ve helped him pay for, whereas I have paid for everything. It frustrated me when my parents cannot see through my brother’s fakeness. Austin is a complete pain in the butt at work because he will specifically ask people if they have heard anything about me, just so he can tell my parents. I do not do drugs; I barely go out. It is difficult for me to comprehend why I am such a bad kid compared to “innocent Austin.” I keep my grades up, usually, apply to colleges and for scholarships, got accepted into great colleges, have a high ACT score, dedicate myself to my future and try to be a good person. My parents always ignore those facts and focus on whatever my brother tells

    Arthur was the first born just as I was, except he was the first and only while I on the other hand have three siblings. We were both born into extremely loving and caring families. Arthur was raised by extremely strict parents and was not even allowed to go out after school or hang out with friends as I do occasionally. His father just like my parents set goals for self-reliance, discipline and responsibility. Because of those goals Arthur began to take great pride in his reputation. I also feel as if I’m always being judged. We have both been called “quiet” people but Arthur eventually grows out of that and my parents tell me I’m beginning to do the same. Both of our parents, to our displeasure, force us to do our numerous chores before anything else. The difference lies within the punishment for disobeying our parents wishes. The so called “beatings” that Arthur received in his time were nothing unordinary yet if those beatings were to occur today they would be seen as wrong and inhumane.

    I yelled at them, ignored them, and occasionally did the opposite they told me too. At the time, I thought that made me better than them, but in the end, it got me nowhere. Soon I entered high school and my bratty preteen-self calmed down. However, my parents became stricter on my grades because there was a big milestone that would be coming up in a few years, getting accepted into college. My parents made it very clear that if I did not get a large scholarship to any university, I would have to go to the local community college. That was the last thing I wanted to happen, I wanted out of the house. I now had a strong incentive to do well in school. I wanted to be able to go out on my own and escape their tight grasp on me. I completed year after year, always making “A’s” in my classes. I soon climbed to the top of my school’s ranking system and was at the top of my class. Though, this did not matter to me, I wanted out of my house. At this point, I knew I was not disappointing my parents, they were as proud as can be with a daughter at the top of her class. This was the first time in my life that I felt as if my parents were generally proud of me and my accomplishments. I still however, felt guilty. Even though I was doing it for myself, I felt bad that I wanted to escape my parents. I did not hate them, I just could not stand being under their control

  • Sibling Society Essay

    How would a society mature if it did not advance alongside technology? This is one of the questions impressed upon me while reading an excerpt from American poet and author Robert Bly’s book The Sibling Society. Bly defines a sibling society as a society that is filled with half-mature adults filling the void left by improper role models. They use internet and electronic entertainment as a substitution for the values and convictions that would have been imparted in them by an authoritative figure. Although we have an alarming amount of immature adults, we are not becoming a sibling society due to technology. With the use of technology, recent generations are now growing up with an awareness of the issues in the world around them, helping them
