"Why can't you be more like (FITB)" Ever hear that before? My younger sister heard that all the time from my parents. "Why can't you be more like your sister"? I hated it when they did that. I was an introvert, exceedingly shy with very few friends. She was a darling extrovert. Everyone loved her. I admired her then and do now. I got great marks, skipped some grades in grammar school and was lonely. She shined. Her grades were so-so. SO WHAT? I hope none of you ever do that to YOUR child. Shame on you if you do. You should be doing better for your kids than that!
