well i was just wondering if anyone eles felt that being a twin there was always the good one and the bad. I know that in my family it seems that now my brother and i are older, 18, that our parents tend to look at whos the better of the two. Around the house and family im known as the good twin since i keep up on my school work, have a full time job, i must admit more resposbile and so on. And as for my brother it seems that since he is always doing the "stupid" guy stuff, and wrestling, and constantly joking around and not taking anything seriously he has been named the bad one. I feel horrible that were looks good and bad.. but i was wondering if anyone is or has experienced this and if they have any helpful hints to get my brother back on the good side again

I actually have the same issue. People call me the good twin and Maddy the bad twin because she always voices her opinion and is really stubborn. It really upsets me, but every time anyone mentions it I always let them know how wrong they are about her. I don't know what else to do.

When we were at elementary school, I was always the "bad" twin, me being more confident and outgoing, and Isabella was always the "good" twin, 'cos she's really sweet natured and loving. It was a bit of a joke, really, and just something we got used to. We've shaken off that particular sterotype now though

Proud to be the Mirror Identical twin of Isabella

I was always the good twin, my sister threw tantrums and was mean to other kids. But she was all sickly when we were babies, so my mom did not want to 'curb her energy' by making her behave. Grr. She's way pleasant to be around now though.

I think my sister and I always traded off on being the "good" one or "bad" one. Don't know if there's ever really been one definite good or bad. We're both very vocal and voice our opinions when we feel we have to. *shrug* I know several people always ask this question though.

Im labeled as the bad twin. My twin sister Stacie is the good twin. Whenever people come around they always think im going to do something bad. We are also 18 year old college students.
