Black Sheep: Do you really believe there is one in every family?

Yes, for about nine years of my life I was the black sheep of my family. I cut them off, only talked to them when I needed them and hid my dirt most of the time. There's always been more than one black sheep in our family but some of them like me come to our senses and ask for forgiveness. It's not fun being in this state and I'm so glad that trust friends and family were there to help me out of it.

I am/was definitly the black sheep in our family and was doing A LOT of naughty things when I was younger. But I am not sure that my family would say describe me as the "Black sheep", just their little rebell ;) But I have felt that feeling and I've felt really bad about it afterwards when I thought of what i've done.

I know my family has a few black sheep. I guess the bigger the family the more blacks sheep. I never thought about myself as the blacks sheep and don't think that other family members think I am the black sheep of the family. In fact everyone wonders how I ended up so normal considering how the rest of the family is. Maybe I am the black sheep because I am the only normal person hmmm......

I don't know, but 'black sheep' is just a saying, in my opinion. Having a black sheep in the family perhaps develop due to some reasons. Might be due to the kids in the block that your kids play with that implies waywardness. Proper cultivation of our son's or daughter's character and instilling good things in their mind might help our family be black-sheep-free.

i don't believe there is a black sheep in the family. we all do wrong things in our lives so we can't point our finger at someone else. we all make mistakes and our families might not like what we have done or agree with --so they label black sheep. please no labels

If your family is big enough, and if you consider unkles, cousins, etc. there is almost bound to be at least one black sheep. If you consider the rebellious people in your family as black sheep, they are not necessarily bad, they may just be unwilling to conform to what the family considers appropriate conduct. Curiously is my family, I have found some of the black sheep (black sheep meaning rebellious and non conformist) to have turned out later in life as the kindest and best hearted people. I think of a cousin of mine, Fiona, who as a girl loved to give wild parties whenever her parents were away and scandalised the family with her short skirts and defiant attitude. Now she is a model mother and grandmother and also is the chief responsible for taking care of a handicapped brother. You could not find a better person in the world. So hats off to black sheep.

I guess it depends more on a personal thought when believed to have black sheep in a family. They common uses this term in a person who have made opposite doings among them. a person who they think never had contributed good actions on them. Meaning, they considered his as black sheep because he is totally different from the rest. I agree that in family. they cannot expect to have children to be exactly the same qualities as the parents.And for some, who do not wanted the actions of their children, opposing the parental wants, they considered someone as black sheep at all, instead, they pull up the person to help him realize his mistakes, they will just accept the fact he is a black sheep and have no more plans to let the person change, but, let the other people known he is of that kind in them. I have no feeling of such in my family. But, in my other friends whom said to be considered as that kind? I do not let them accept to be one. I help them realize and improve themselves more. Let them take off the bitterness they felt inside and always ready to listen as a friend who can understand and for which I realized that he is not a black sheep at all. It is just he is misunderstood by other people because he was not granted by enough time for him to prove that he is not a black sheep at all. IT was he was judged based on what others feel and thereby had neglected also his feelings at all and chances to change for the better. Happy mylotting

I think that my family thinks that I am the blacksheep. But of course I would like to deny it. Because I always answer back to my parents when I know I am on the right stand. I always say what I feel and what my opinion is. For me there is nothing wrong with that. Those things make them think that among the three siblings in the family, I am the black sheep. However I don't believe I am,because I don't do naugthy things or just fool around. I just always express what I want, so I am not really bothered with what they think about me.

Yes, I believe that, except when the family has only one child, who will be the black sheep then? I saw there is always one in the family who is not doing like he/she supposed t do, like her/his other siblings. Some turned out okay, some turned out very bad. Being the only daughter in the family, I don't have any competitor. But one of my brother is the black sheep in the family, and he turned out to be very very bad. Ahhh

Some would say that there will always be one thats considered as the black sheep in the family. I used to think that It was me but when my brother came. I think it was him. haha. He did a lot of naughty things I wouldnt do in my life. I was too scared of my Pop. He wasnt scared of anything. So, probably it would be him and now he's trying his best to change and fix his life. He's still young. He has a lot of growing up to do.
