[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second of four and the only girl and my older brother is super smart and 14 months older. Spent my entire school career with teachers telling me what a genius he was, how he was such a pleasure in class. Sophomore year in high school the English teacher asked him to come in to film a speech he made the year before to show to my class b/c it was such a masterpiece. It was humiliating watching it. The honors biology teacher freshman year asked me why I was in regular level science.

It was not great. I was so upset when he got into the college I really wanted to go to and decided to go, but then still went and graduated with a higher GPA. It's so stupid (who cares about GPA) but at the time I felt a sense of redemption. I was actually not as dumb as everyone led me to believe.[/quote]

Your post made me remember a mistreated middle child classmate. The teacher asked him (several times) whether his brother inherited all the brains in the family. [/quote]

PP here - in retrospect it was kind of insane because I am smart, but did not think I was smart until I got out of my house. My parents would say he was the smart one and I was the social one, and read his glowing college recommendation from his French teacher out loud at the dinner table.

Also once they gave me the car to drive to musical practice and then told him he could take it and go to the mall with his friends. Apparently he was supposed to tell me but I walked out of the auditorium and the car was gone and I was pissed. [/quote]
