If you’ve ever felt left out at family gatherings or wondered why your family was a certain way and have known you were different, chances are, you are the black sheep of your family. Here’s what you will be able to relate to if you are the black sheep of your family:

1. You prefer doing things alone

2. You’re always asked to be more like *insert sibling’s name/cousin’s name/friend’s name*

3. You’re considered to be a wild child by your Barras (elders)

4. You are a cautionary tale for your younger cousins

Look at Ahmed, tsk tsk tsk… He failed a test you know!

5. You stand out in family pictures

Guess who the black sheep in this photo is… yup. That’s me.

6. Adoption jokes got old really fast

Ha.ha. I get it, I’m different. Lol, guys, lol. -_-

7. Family gatherings were awkward because you were always forced to go to them

You’d rather stay home and play video games or watch tv

8. If you were dragged to a family gathering anyway - you would usually sit alone

Probably because your cousins were warned not to chill with the wild child

9. If you are involved in a conversation it’s usually where you are the butt of the joke

Ok guys, I get it. I’m different. Ha. Ha. Ha.

10. You haven’t added your family on social media and even if you have they’re SUPER limited

11. If there is a fight at home it’s 90% your fault. Each time. You don’t even know how.

12. You’re hardly at home over the weekends

You’re either at one friends house or the others.

13. You are the first person to be blamed if anything goes wrong or breaks

Your name is Jafar and,

14. You FEEL like the black sheep of the family

Yup, you’re the odd one out!

If you can relate to any of these points, don’t worry there are many others who can too, so you’re not alone. Also your family does love you, they just show it in a different way.
