the fact that you're trying to hide your status further amplifies the situation.
take me for example, instead of being an only child, im the last child of 4.
imagine having a brother and 2 sisters as your elders.

people tease me, yea i cannot avoid that. but i try working around it. instead of being a sponge and absorb everything, i at least pull off some punches. like making jokes about someone's nose, or something something.
u see, if you point out something worth making fun of out of the people who makes fun of you, it kinda almost turns the table. and most importantly, they will know that you're not just a sponge.

i try to hide my status, yes i dont doubt that. but when someone knows, i just act like its no big deal.
i never tell, if no one ever asks. if someone knows, and ask me, i just go 'yea, its true. so..?' u know, things like that.

if you have no confidence, even if you're the eldest you still got balls the size of a peanut.

I'm the oldest with 2 sisters, but it never occur to me to judge how people behave by being the only child/eldest/youngest at home... hmmm...

People who look at stereotypes are ignorant and they refuse to look at you for who you are but look at what you are. To them, someone who come from a bad family will always turn out bad and those who come from good family will always be good. This we know is never the case.

I suggest you ignore what they think about you and prove them wrong, that will teach them a thing or two.

TS, you've been in the WRONG CROWD for too long! There's plenty of people out there who would judge you fairly instead of judging you by your so-called 'status'.

How is it a sin? Not like this is your doing.

The people around you is one the problems. Letting them get to you is the bigger problem.

Go think about this rationally.

why you lie to your friends about being the single child?

could it be your own personality and u relate it to ur single child status?

Is it a sin to be the only child in family ( Anak Tunggal ) ?

The problem start when I was 7 years old ( standard 1 ) till now 21 years old ( working )

Primary school
- Tend to get bully by some student because of my status. Things only get better when I'm in Standard 5 & 6 due of my physical (tall and a bit muscle) and also I be friend with some "bad student".

Secondary school - I want but can't lie about my status because lots of my neighbour are in same school. No bully this time but student look down on me just because of that. Always call me pampered child ( anak manja ). As usual things get better after 2-3 years when they really know me ( not pampered ).

I go to other school ( my father transfer ) when at Form 3. Things ok there because I lie to all my friend about my status. No one there ever think I'm the only child because they judge my by my attitude without knowing my status.

College - I lie about my status at the first place but they know it later ( cannot avoid ). And as usual they start to change the way they look at me. They accuse my parents did all my stuff for me. From iron my shirt to wash my underwear ( which is not true ). I can get " all things in the world " etc.

Things going well when I having Industrial Training for 6 month at this company. I taught things different between study time and work time, they really didn't care who you are. What matters is what you are.

Work
- I get caught at the first place when the interviewer ask my about my family status. I really hope she won't tell anyone in the office, but she did it. I hope working environment different from school / college but it's not any better. One of my college is "mulut celupar". She is the oldest in family so she kind of "hated" any youngest child in family ( never mention only child ). Guess what ? same old same old

Things only gone wrong when people around me know I'm the only child in family. My life is consider stable right now but my friend will sometimes bring up the issue ( likes it's even an issue )

Face problem betul la.

Stop blaming everything on ur family status. Look deep inside urself and u'll know something else is triggering it. Attitude/face problem, who knows. Definitely not the only child thing.

Unless ur too friggin sensitive that whenever someone says "ala, anak manja, mommy's boy, etc etc" jokingly, u take it seriously and keep it to heart. THEN, u really are an anak manja.
