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.

Really good advise for someone that experienced it

This is probably one of the weirdest crap I ever heard of. What is there to talk about anak tunggal? I don't see how funny can this be and what is wrong being anak tunggal?

Well, i understand that they call anak tunggal manja and spoilt but otherwise it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Some of my friends call me spoilt(i am kinda spoilt heh) and although it kinda sucks sometime but it's never something i take so seriously because it's so petty. So yeah i do have experience and i think there's more to it than just anak tunggal.

btw /k/ what does 'face problem' mean?

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

TS, i really pity those people. Maybe they were brought up in such a situation where they judge the only child of the family to be gold spoon fed all the time.

Don't make it hard on yourself, just take it easy. As long they don't get in your way, you have nothing to lose.

I come from a family of 2, my parents maintain perfect balance on both of us(there is no such thing as extra love or less love from parents).

Even if you are spoon fed(I know you are not), so what? f**k em'


ps: i know it's outdated but I just feel bad not commenting.

I'm the only son.

Kindergarten: I'm the bully in school, like to bully the girl sitting next to me, make her cries. (Which I regret for what I did)

Primary school: I got a bunch of 'brother' to hang out & we likes to talk pervert stuff in the school & was sent to the headmaster. (Which I never regret for what I did, just regret didn't pay attention in class).

Secondary school: I got a bigger bunch of 'brother' to lepak-lepak in school. (Which I never regret making friend with them, just regret didn't pay attention in class.)

Uni: I got a wide variety of friend and I think uni life is fun. (never regret having fun in uni, just regret didn't go after the girl I really want.)

Work: Non of my customer know my status, but they knew my dad is my boss biggrin.gif

TS,

I guess I experienced something like you. Was picked on for some period in various stage of my life. I was an only child like u too.

When u're in school, almost every single kids had bro n sis, and had stories of fighting with bro n sis over something, or parents bias towards a bro or a sis, but we don't have. U tell stories that ppl could never understand, and ppl tell stories that u could never understand. Because u're different.

Given the maturity of a typical school kid, they wun be able to understand and accept, they'll just judge n think u're weird. Given YOUR maturity at that time, u also cannot understand why they're picking on u, u only know they pick on u and assume something is wrong with u.

There is nothing wrong with u. Probably nobody in ur life ever told u this, (nobody in ur life that u trusted at least), my parents also never gave me this reassurance n I also never asked, so I just wander around like lost soul, and so u judge urself based on wat happened in ur life.

The more u start hiding urself, the more u live in fear co's u're afraid ppl will know ur real person n do nasty things.

Now in the working world, ppl r more mature and accepting, sure u'll get some assholes like those u mentioned, but generally ppl r ok. My boss is an only-child, and we had a blast talking about our only-child experiences.

As u meet more ppl, u start to understand it's no big deal. Shit happens.

So, stop hiding. Next time ppl ask u "eh u got any bro n sis?" just answer "nahh.. only child ler .. four walls is my bro n sis lol". If u dun think it's weird, ppl wun think it's weird.

law of attraction dude.

Added:
oh and once u stop hiding who u r, its time to start enjoying ur status. I have met a lot of only-child ppl that r immensely street-smart, independent and has high sense of autonomy.
