Siblings are the only enemy you can't live without.

The Middle Child
With the Internet as it is right now, you can easily find answers to almost everything. And so I stumbled upon comments and articles where people shared their stories of being treated unfairly by their parents as they are the middle child.

Comical, Thoughtful, and Faithful
When my little brother was born, I was less than thrilled. I wanted another little sister, not a little brother. But my attitude could not have been more wrong.

The Iron Man
Because I was eight years old and the only girl in the neighborhood at that time, my ten-year-old brother always let me tag along with him and his friends. Although he made me feel welcomed and like “one of the boys”, it wasn’t until I was much older that I realized I never did actually participate in their games. Being older, my brother felt very protective towards me and made sure none of his friends made an issue of me hanging around them.

Doggy love story
My family has consistently had a Golden Retriever as our family canine and, surprisingly, reared two of them for a considerable length of time. Henry was the male and was dependably "my canine" as a teen. I generally said that one day I would have one of his little dogs. As far back as I can recollect from us having brilliant retrievers, I generally needed my very own pup when everything looked good and I was fit for really focusing on my own canine freely. Tragically; after a few litters of pups, my parent's female canine Lilly was really exhausted so my folks chose to fix Henry and quit reproducing both of them. I was crushed on the grounds that I was as yet not perfectly located to really focus on my own canine and I truly thought I had botched my opportunity of having one of Henry's little dogs. Not long after the two quit rearing, I moved to Dallas for a considerable length of time and afterward to Austin, TX. The main canine I at any point got to see during that time were on the uncommon events I would visit Henry while remaining in East Texas for these special seasons.

The Plain Sister
I have two sisters. I am the youngest. I am also the plain one. I don’t say this to gain sympathy or have people disagree. It is just a fact. I have come to accept it.

His Last ROUND!
He was covered in blood when he waived down the Sherriff Deputy. The deputy didn’t know what to think when he saw a fifteen year old boy covered in blood and in hunting gear. The boy was pale in color, like he had seen a ghost. The boy didn’t know where he was or how he got there. All he knew is he and his buddies needed help and quick.

The Close-Eyed Kid
This morning, while reading a story based on youth sports teams, I was reminded of the time we enrolled the boys in a summer t-ball youth sports group.

Solace
Dear Siblings, Although we are all adults now, we never really talk about how we saved each other as children. We lived in a home that felt like a war zone. Tiptoeing through our adolescence, careful not to make a wrong step, in case we caused an explosion. Anything could set them off and we tried and tried and tried to be perfect. We were far from it and paid the price. There was a complexity to our lives not understood by those who didn’t experience it. Every house we lived in was a battlefield. We became familiar with the terrain and learned how to navigate it. Sat up at night in our beds praying for a different life, or a life that was easier than what we had.

The Shape of a Word. Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
It started with a slip-up and a bad sushi date. I was stressed to my limit and barely keeping it together. But the Sushi Date had been long anticipated. And so, with deep breaths and a smile, I piled my two redheaded little brothers into the car and zipped over to the nearest sushi joint.

BHAI
We are six members in my family, mom, dad, elder brother, elder sister, me and my dearest pet dog. We are living a blissfully happy life together. Everyone know that there is some excitement, some sadness, lot of joy and little disappointment in every life's journey. In my life journey you will find thrill, many fantastic moments and lot of breakers which could make me weak and exhausted from this interesting journey but there is my family with me who supported me no matter what. Although my whole family bolstered my confidence everytime but specially there is one person who have always got my back. My elder brother! Mr. Abhilash kumar sharma s/o Mr. Adesh Kumar Sharma is my elder brother. He is existing in my life from my birth. My mom told me that my brother was giddy with excitement for me when I was in my mom's stomach. As soon as I came out and took departure from the origin of my life, I was smiling in my brother's hand instead of crying. Slowly-slowly I grew up with my brother and I took initiative to call him "BHAI". Before going to school I knew many English words, handfull type of questions and several poem , I am not blowing my trumpet but I was considered as HIG (Hella lntelligent girl) in my school only because of my bhai. I am 12 years younger than bhai, so he thought that it was his duty to help me in every field and to provide me all the facilities. I have a problem in my right eye, not from the birth but because of my cousin. Due to this problem numerous of student teased me in my school, therefore I felt down many times but on that moment bhai always boosted me up with his kind and energetic words. He always treat me like his best friend but nevertheless he is very strict in studies and especially in mathematics because maths is my favourite subject and my brother's strength also, hence he can't tolerate any mistake in this subject. As I came in 12th class (intermediate), studies load suddenly increased but bhai never left me alone . I promised him that I will bring my A-game in my board exam. I gave my exam with full of vitality and enthusiasm. Finally after checking my result with with nervousness, I cried a lot because I got only 90% but I had trust on myself that this result is not correct and I deserve much better. I told my parents about recheck but because of hardmarking's fear they told me that your marks are enough for getting admission in a good college. On that day there was only my bhai who took stand for me , supported me and said to me that " I trust you more than you, understand ". Then we filled recheck form and when comttiee declared my result again I became topper with 95% marks. Only because of bhai , I am satisfied with my marks and now I am pursuing in my dream college for graduation. My brother's soul has always resided in me, the place he has in my life and what he has done for me, I cannot be described in words. I love my bhai very much not only because he supported me but he is ray of sunshine.he have a pure heart which is rare to find out. In this story and in real life my brother is my real hero. The love of both of us is very strong that's why I am making him the hero of my story by sitting on my brother's lap.

I Am Indebted to You Mom
My dear mom, Hey mom! You must be thinking about what this is for. Well, this open letter is to let you know how much I'm thankful for becoming your daughter. In short, I want to thank you. But it's not possible, I know. Because some appreciated words can never express what you've done for me.
