I feel for the super older brother type. It's a bit like that in my family. My brother also has it a bit hard as well. People keep asking him if he'll be as good (academically) as myself. I'm not sure if he just shrugged it off though. After a while, people see who he is, and they stop comparing him to me, since he has his own personality and virtues too. Just for some reason, he's very likable, and rather popular too.

And the expectations/talk that accompanies the scholar performance is something I'd rather do away with. It's good and all when you first taste it, but afterwards it's more a burden than anything. Times like these, you'd just wish you were a bit "normal".
