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 tell her I am a only son and she directly say "Anak Manja la you ni" ( She only know me for less than 5 minutes ). 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 )

What does this have to do with PhD School?

Seriously, the problem lies with you. Fix yourself and you'll have less problems. To be crying your woes here is already a testament of your lack of thought.

No need to be so harsh. You wouldn't know unless you experience it. People judge you before even know you. You need to work hard and show them who you really are. That's the problem

Harsh? Are you working? Do you even understand how cruel reality is? I don't see the reason behind why you have to lie, it only makes you look more of a fool. Joyy reiterated it, it has nothing to do with the fact that you're a single child. I guess you must be some stuck up person IRL wondering WHY people hate you. Ever considered your attitude towards others?

So what's the problem here? Look in the mirror.

hi TS...

i also the only child..i faced same problem with u since primary and secondary school..
i lied bout my status with my friends but kantoi later cuz one of my teacher in secondary school was my uncle..
start from dat day they tease me..i feel suffer waiting to finish form 5..

but now in college ppl start to amazed and respect me..
if i tell them im anak tunggal they will say "wah u so lucky..can get whatever u wish"
no more "ceh anak manja"
i can even get close to chick easily if i said im only child brows.gif

what is important is u need to be confident to tell the truth..
if u tell them with confident voice and confident face they scare to make fun of u..
dont let they drop u anymore..
if they ask u just say "yes im the only child..so whats wrong?"

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?

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
