But one of the most toying thorns in the side any teen is his or her sibl- s. So stated junior Michael rl, adding, A sibling may :ear civil to you at home, l they are concealing a :yll and Hyde personality t becomes painfully clear school. Xlthough some students ght agree with Michael, ers found that having a ing at school could be y beneficial. According senior Tisha Reed, You able to send home ssages, and if you need borrow money or nething, they will be re. Even more positive was lior Inge Linder who said l brother, junior Lincoln, really swell to hang nd with, he's one of my best friends. We can watch out for each other. For some siblings, having an older brother or sister who took a class before helped because they could share old notes or their older sibling could help them study.

Sandi Taylor had a dif- ferent view. lf the teacher liked her fsenior Kiml, then they like me and the class is easier, but if they didn't like her, they don't like me. The best thing is the teachers tell me stupid things Kim has done. Younger siblings were often spared the agony of riding the bus to and from school by an older brother or sister who didn't always ap- preciate being a chauffeur. Senior Nick Weigel ex- plained that he didn't like having to wait for her lfreshman Mollyl in the mor- nings to give her a ride to school, while sophomore Sara Bennett added, l have to drive her lfreshman Lesliel around, and sometimes our schedules clash. Despite the obvious detriments and benefits, having two or more bran- ches from the same family tree at MHS made for uni- que, never-to-be-forgotten experiences. Siblings...21
