    Ok I dont know if this is the right place to put this question but anyways....

    Is it bad to hate being compared to your sister??? Cuz my parents are always sayin "why dont you be like her" or "you have to be like your sister" and I just HATE THAT. Every time they say that I always say, we're two different people, I'm me and shes herself then I get mad and go to my room or something but anyways is that a bad thing? getting mad cuz they, my parents, always compare me to my sister??

    It's one of those biggest mistakes that parents do
    Cos all people are different and being compared just makes that person to be fed up with that other person
    Tell them to stop it...actuallly they should have known that it's a bad thing but some people give birth without being that responsible and aware of what they should do...
    If you said it and they didn't listen to you...don't say anthing...and don't give a f**k
    When you need someone to talk
    I'm always here girl
    Take care

    It sucks. i hate it. i feel like i am me and i shouldnt be compared to anyone else. i only want to be compared to myself and to the better things i do, but not to other people. I HATE IT!

    My parents always compare me to my brother and sister, it's just what they do, but by making these comparisons it motivates me to try harder, so for once my parents might say to them why can't they be like me, and you know what? It worked. Turn the feelings you have into something good, make yourself the one people compare you to.
    Good Luck! xXx

    If you are compared, just forget them, they don't mean a thing. But if you are the caring type like me, you do anything you can to prove every single person wrong who compared you.

    My parents do that all the time but its worse for my sister because she gets compared to me. Shes older but im more of the responsible one. I'd rather not get compared to my sister because we are two totally different people, in good and bad ways. People are going to compare you to someone for the rest of your life but its how you take it that matters. Either take it positivly or negativly in my opinion

    I think its kinda bad to be compared to my sister cuz then you'd kinda like hate her cuz you'd feel like they love her more, which I've already figured that out. I'm the last child of.......................5 kids and they've all got married and its just annoying when they say be like her!!!! I dont know being last isnt all that good. I miss school, and homework, dayum I wanna go back!!

    I don't think it is a bad thing, I think it is a normal thing lol If we have siblings chances are we have heard that at atleast one point.

    You just have to remember, as hard as it is for you to be a kid, it is just as hard to be the parent, we usually dont realize this until we get older and have families of our own.

    I know for me, I spent a lot of time getting in trouble, so the words came from my parents frustration.

    Yeah I would sa it is bad being compared to your sister. But don't feel bad most of us who have siblings or even cousins are compared to them. I know I'm stuck doing stuff that I don't want to do because I don't want to give my family more ways to compare me to my cousin. So you just need to sit down with your parents and explain to them that you and your sister are two completely diffrent people and they will understand.
