Interesting. My sister (the middle one) also has a university degree, was in the majority of advanced placement programs in highschool and graduated both with a higher G.P.A than i will. That being said, she was/is always more emotionally needy as she always said that my parents never loved her...when in reality their lack of affection was pretty much extended towards me as well. My sister just never talked to my parents, and thus as an adult i've resolved my issues, whereas she hasn't. I remember distinctly as a child asking my father why he never hugged me, and it pretty much made me realize the differences between a north american upbringing and a chinese one. My sister has not and still does not understand that my parents are human and not perfect. *shrug*

take care,
