Must There Be A Black Sheep In Every Family? by nenergy(m): 5:07pm On Dec 04, 2012
It seems we have all unconsciously adopted the idea that every family must have a black sheep. Some families have at least one child who is "different" from every other family member, but it isn't a must.

The idea of the "the black sheep of the family" is a lie from the pit of hell. Imagine young adults trying to be different because everyone else is "straight",and parents accepting it as fate because there must be a black sheep.

Its most common with the 2nd born,they almost always take the opposite direction of their elder brother/sister life path. No 2 humans are the same and difference is good,but when this difference has a negative manifestation (misdemeanor) then it shouldn't be condoned because "there must be a black sheep). This idea is derailing destinies.

God help us!

There should be at least one, out of every family of 12.
Scientifically proven.

Gone are the days we used to sit down to play the game of identifying the black sheep in every family we know.

Op, you are too right my dear. There is always a black sheep and a 'white' sheep in every family. Though the black tends to change as time goes on.

Well, i think it is mandatory to have a black sheep in every family. Any family that is so cool will always be taken advantage of; There are some families that there first four child are mainly boys. Tell me who will dare beat the younger sister of those boys?! Nothing in life comes with perfection. Hence, in every bad there is good and in every good there is bad. You never can tell the value of a black sheep in a family except when you're faced with certain situation that requires their existence.

I agree...but it shifts away from just personality when the "black sheep" constantly brings shame and trouble upon his family or gets involved in things bothering around the extreme as opposed to what's generally acceptable as normal in the family.
