Being a Twin

I'm a twin and I sometimes don't want to be one.
Teachers and students at school always refer to me and my sister as "the twins" and we don't make friends easily. We've been called twins ever since we started school and It's getting really annoying and kind of makes us sad. I used to be in a different class than my sister but this year we got put in the SAME class for EVERY subject. We are constantly competing for higher marks than each other, its fun to compare with ourselves but teachers sometimes calls our marks out and if one of us gets a lower mark students and the teacher makes comments that he thinks is funny but it makes one of us feel really sad. I find it hard to make friends. Don't know why but I just do..

I think that being called twins a lot of the time is discrimination. We should be called by our names and treated like individuals. Some people might say "I wish I was a twin" but they seriously wont like it at all! :(

So please, if you see someone that is a twin, don't go calling them that because I'm sure they sometimes feel the way I do. It's not a nice feeling.

Happens aot with twins their is these identicle twins in my class one in D and Other in L and we had a sub once and the one in D got told of for something her sister did it was quit funny at the time???

It might be funny to all you's who arent twins but It certainly wasn't for them. Because of that incident those two girls must've fought a lot when they got home- that usually happens. >:(

you may not like it but the fact your a twin means you have brother/sister and i bet if you had the choice to get rid of them you wouldnt give them up for the world

but i see were your coming from with being known as a twin instead of an individual but dont worry everything happens for a reason (i believe in fate coz im not religious so sorry if you dont like my opinion if you dont believe the same) but i believe everything happens for a reason and 1 day you will both be glad your twins

also if you find this message offence im anyway then i will get it deleted

Yeah, you're right, sometimes its good to have each other but there just seems to be more downsides.

Its probably because they can't tell you apart. There is twins at my school and before I properly knew them, I would just go 'Niblet' (Thats there 2nd name) whenever I saw one of them. But now I know them apart, so I call them by there names.

Twins, you say you are monozygotic twins... [identical]
That must be pretty annoying! You say you are annoyed by teachers calling you 'the twins'... Well, if you are, then just say! Tell the teachers it upsets/annoys you, and I am very sure they will stop.

The discrimination side of things must be annoying too, the best thing you can do is talk to people; tell them that you are two different people!
I hope things get better soon...Remember... TALK!

I'm a twin... and i'd say we're probably among the most known people in School. We make friends EXTREMELY easily... everyone knows of us and mostly knows us. we're not in any of the same classes... as we just argue, fit, cause trouble. But urm... i normally get well higher grades ;) my twin's the worse one out of us though.

Some times i wish i WASN'T a twin though, but no one ever annoys us or bothers us. [we're both guys btw]

I sometimes wish I was a twin...

it's torture :|

Well... when your a little kid obviously your mum's in cute mode 24|7 sooooooo... they dress you in matching outfit's and it's a constant BOBBA 'ing pain in the buttocks.
