Im a smiling and happy person but deep inside me is a guilt that really hunts me everytime i go home. My father has a business before i was born and many people says that it was a very successful business but when i came along it become worst. Now they are keeping their eyes on me. They always treat me like a baby. Sometimes i can prove that im the black sheep because everytime my brothers go with me something bad always happen. What should i do? Would i go away? Would i stay? Im very upset these days..

you aren't bad luck, there is no such thing. Start thinking positive and try to make positive things happen. You can control this to a certain degree, after some time of good things happening, people will stop blaming you for bad things.

a black sheep is a lable , you know nothing about black sheep ,yet you cast it in negativity ,in a world of white sheep we are different no one can figure us out were blacl ie we are different , yet we are yet of the sheep// we are blamed but only as great people before us we cast down upon its nothing personal but we are too happy too assured for others to feel comfortable arround us leaving is about not feeling appriciated but whos fault is that from we trying not to burden others i have forced myself to stay and it is worth it hang on things change so fast by the same token the road is wide i saw some of it and its worth the effort it takes top go your a free spirit go or stay but do that you really want to do.

I agree as well, and you should stay with the family and everything will get better as time goes by. They will always be your kin and if anything should happen you will all stay together and a close bond will form stronger and help you from any crisis in life. Good luck.

It is a bad thing i think that this isn't fair we cant say that we cant make sure that We are permanent in this earth and how come the money is stagnant in the first case you have to prove that you are not bad luck for your family by showing the best results in what ever you do and you have to be possitive minded and think always possitive when ever you go for any work or anywhere so that you ll b in a fresh mind and everything ll go fine even i had this mentallity before but i am the happiest person ever in my life for now.

unless you are really doing something stupid then you are not a black sheep. i mean how could you be blamed for something you don't have control of.sometimes God has his own way of testing us whether we succumb to these kinds of trials, the best thing you could do is face these challenges in life and take lead. lead your life to luck if that's what you call it. lead it to success, you alone can do it. make it happen, it will not if you will just sulk into your own misery right now. be brave and face the challenge!

i think running away can't solve the problem. just tell your family what you fell at the moment, they will understand. facing problem is a way to develope your personality.

i don't think you are a black sheep. what you are is a jinx or a harbinger of bad luck. just kidding ... seriously, what you think you are you will be. the mind has such tremendous power. don't think of yourself as always the one bringing "bad luck". think happy thoughts even in the midst of things or events gone wrong. wake up each day and try to psyche yourself that you bring joy and good luck to all the people you meet. in time, things and events will change for the better. keep smiling and good luck !

Just because you are a blacksheep of your family does not mean anything, it just means that your are different. I was once the blacksheep too, until my cousin Garey proved to be the biggest loser of us all.

Your fathers business has nothing to do with your birth, it was fine before you came along and unless you were running the show then you have nothing to fear. I was the 'black sheep' in my family until 8 years ago but now if my mom needs something doing, a little job around the house, or a room painting it is me she calls. I may have been the black sheep but I know if there is a crisis I will be the one she asks to help, because over time I have proved that i am reliable. Stop being so hard on yourself, everybody has a place in their family, if you get in to trouble when your with your brothers then maybe it's your brothers who are the trouble, because you said it is you thats gets the backlash, I will assume that you are the middle son? Yes? I did some research on this and found that out of a trio of siblings, the middle child gets the blame more often than the older or younger siblings. The oldest avoids it because the 2 younger should over rule him, the younger avoids blame because they are the youngest. that leaves the middle child who is in no-mans land and getting the blame.

Tears are whelming up my eyes right now... your family shouldn't treat you like that! Urrghh!! I understand how you feel right now because my family treats me like that too. But not to worry. If they do not like you, then let them be. Maybe this is the time when you should go away. Your own happiness is the most important. Be strong, step up and prove to yourself (not to your family) that you can live and SUCCEED on your own. I wish you the BEST OF LUCK. God bless you.

i think you mean that you are a bad luck for your family for all the things that had happened eversince you are born. though i really dont believe in that, since you have reach at that age in good condition. maybe you should go to church more often and pray i believe its a powerful way to eliminate all the negatives feelings we have inside us.

No, don't go away from your family. You need to assess the way you are thinking. Stop these superstitious ideas that bad things have happened because of you. That is a lie, unless you can state what it is you did. If you did something to cause trouble, then confess the sin and ask them to forgive you. As you battle these false idea, you also need to work at not being so sensitive. Focus on being kind and caring to your family members. When there is some comment, look or action that upsets you, srive to not be offended.

I am sorry that you are put down so much to cause you insecurity. I don't know why they do this, but remember this. You are a creation of a loving God. In His eyes, you are not a black sheep, but a child of God's. Do not do anything rash dear, and just love yourself, and make sure you are educated and can be on your own before you choose to leave. God bless you, M&M

it will be bad when you're always anxtious to it,and it will be good also when you try best to chage it.sometimes,bad tings happan just becouse you face it passively.you thougt something bad will happen, so it happened.but when face matters acctively, and situations will be much better, so keep on being optimism, and you will find everyting is so beautiful.

I feel your sadness. You pretend you are happy and smile all the time but deep inside your sad. Please there is no such thing as bad luck. We were all made by God so I dont think He will make someone with bad luck as his twin. Dont believe what others say. What you lack is a self esteem that will boost your confidence. Always bear in mind that God loves us and He will never do anything to hurt. Believe in yourself and your capabilities and others will do the same to you.

Hey, it's not your fault..Things happen and it just happens when you're around that they think your a jinx..When people think something bad will happen to them when their around you it happens..Why? because they think it.It's not you..If you believe in charms why not look for some local stores which sells lucky charms...I believe in charms and amulets...try it ..it works.
