Dear Little Sister: The benefit of sibling rivalry | Skyler Basco | TEDxWCMephamHigh

Who better to talk about sibling rivalry than the introverted, envious older sister? High School Freshman, Skyler Basco has always had the desire to communicate an important message through a creative medium- sometimes art, sometimes poetry, and sometimes simply through the ago-old practice of storytelling. Skylar believes that there is beauty in the power of the written word because it has the ability to spread a message and allow personal expression in ways that connect humans to one another and to the world at large. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Great presentation!. Being on stage is one or the most difficult thing to do in the world and you did it. Congratulations!

[@alexanicole8207]

So proud of you! I’m sad this was only 10 minutes long, this topic was so captivating!

[@kelleyceccato7025]

I'm the younger of two sisters and I'm definitely the more introverted. My sister is far more glamorous and social.

Middle child and have suffered all the negligence from my mother who is also a Super Narcissistic isolating me from all my siblings creating comparisons and a forceful rivalry 😢

[@gulsevarturaeva4484]

Oooooo🥺❣️❣️❣️☁️✨ I wish I had a sister like her

[@baraaljamal9828]

Its funny because I used to be an extrovert and now I’m an introvert because I’ve grown up more and switched up friends. My brothers are extroverts though but enjoy playing videogames more whenever they’re home. I’m trying my best to get along with them better though

Loved this!!!! Wonder if dynamics are different for identical teen twin girls.

This was AMAZEBALLS 🤗 AWESOME SAUCE 😉 I definitely SILENTLY looked up (still do) to my younger sister.. All the way up to age 9, (I remember that day like it was yesterday)She was my right hip.. I couldn't go ANYWHERE w/out HER. Then I got used to it.. feeling bad wasn't so bad. Until we got older I wanted to hang out with her a couple times.. I know she didn't forget time's I shooed her away cuz when I got that rejection ooh 😲 boy I felt it and felt how bad it made her feel.. of course as adults I had to LHK how sorry I was. As she cracks up while I'm in this emotional 😭 heart ❤️ felt apology.. SHE looks at me seriously 😳& say's . "JAZZ YOU'RE ACTUALLY SINCERE"! Has this been eating at you all these years?😲 ABSOLUTELY 🥺 YES !.. I mean I remembered our baths in double kitchen sink., Or the times we shared in our buggy when MA' would go for her walks . I read every book a million times over before bed and act out the characters , (and that was before I could read)🤫 . .. but that day I had to leave her home is etched in my memory like it was yesterday... I AM ♾️'ly GREATFUL 🥲FOR MY 'LILBIGSIS'
