Hear ye! Hear ye! all who call themselves eldest!
This superhero crap can be related in a rather similar way to my life, as well as many other eldest siblings around this banana shaped peninsula of a country.
It many people's eyes, or the youngest siblings, they think being the eldest is somewhat of a blessing because we get everything first. I say nay! True we get everything first, including the beating, the screaming, the throwing things around-ing, insulting.. etc. I would like to state here that, being eldest is like a blessing, ONLY in them filthy stinking rich families where they eat shit sleep money everyday. For us middle class eldest brothers/sisters, it is more like a curse.
I have been going through this same shit over and over again for the past years. Some say scolding and hurtful insulting is a means of motivation to do better. Yeah, better for the blossoming of the murdering capacity that all humans seem to have. If you ask me, it is not good for the development of character. Particularly if it is that someone you want to be an example of for the younger children.
And there is this, comparing. Day in and out, parents just have to compare their eldest to their younger siblings. OK, maybe if the eldest f*cked up in his studies once, that doesn't mean that the parents should go and harp about it every single day of the months in a year. A really, awesome, ineffective way to increase self esteem, way to go team mom and dad!

I love my mum and dad. Even if I get hurled with filthy abuses about me, my life and my friends, I still love them. Hats down to them for struggling to make my life alot easier and better. I just wish sometimes that, they don't put us eldest children aside all the time and shower the most attention on the younger ones.
I think that is enough. Out.
