[quote=Anonymous]I doubt OP is a troll not least of all because the comments she describes are awful in context but not exaggerated/unbelievable. Growing up, my little brother was a GORGEOUS toddler/young kid. Like, recruited on the street by a casting agent and in two nationally syndicated TV commercials gorgeous. Beautiful blond ringlets, big blue eyes and pronounced dimples. People would comment on his looks ALL THE TIME in front of me. They would never say a word about me or even seem to think about it. Luckily, I am substantially older and female, so I could sort of play it off/we weren't in direct competition/I could sort of appreciate how gorgeous he was; it still affected my self esteem a bit.

Ultimately, it was actually bad for my brother too in most respects, because puberty wasn't kind and it was a hard adjustment for him not to be the special golden child any longer. (He's perfectly normal looking now, but nothing special and skinnier than most teens/20 something males aspire to be.) The silver lining is that he made good money off of his few years of commercials and modeling and my parents saved it all for him, so he has a nice nest egg.[/quote]
