It almost seems like whenever I go to school, I see two of the same people. (I'm not drunk! ) In fact, there is this girl in my English class who does peer tutoring for community service in the school library, and while I was getting my calculus homework out..
The same girl but with different clothing was sitting on the chair.. The same pitch too.. She tried to help me out with my Calc homework, but she couldn't.. at least that wasn't when I decided to get my calculator out and she explained me some of the steps to integrating the area to find the volume of a cross-section.
Anyways.. how identical have the twins you have seen been? (Same Face, same pitch of voice.. etc.) Would you like an Identical twin yourself?

I work with a pair of twins at the college I work at. You can tell them about by their hair. Both wear different hairstyles. They also never dress identical. There personalities are different when not together but when they are together they are just alike!
The identical twins I went to high school were like night and day! Their personalities were so different! Some twins like to fake people out but these two never did! They were not fun like the other set of twins I know now! LOL!

I actually know several different sets of identical twins. My best friend has six children and her 4th and 5th children are identical twins who are going to be four years old this year. I can kind of tell them apart but that is only because of the fact that Erica told me some of their traits that are different. My son is in kindergarten and two of his classmates are identical twins and there is also a set of identical twins in my daughter's grade as well. My best friend's little sisters are identical twins and then she also recently introduced me to some other friends of hers that are identical twins as well.
It seems to me that identical twins are more common than I ever thought they would be.

I had friends who were identical twins. One of them was in my health class in junior high school. I remember being so confused when I saw someone I thought was her later that day wearing different clothes. I was like "hmm..." later on I saw them walking together and was a heck of a lot less confused lol. I became friends with them later. I learned to tell them apart quite well. They were both different in a lot of ways. We were all in a class together in HS and the teacher always got them confused. We used to joke that they should play a joke on the teacher one day. They never did though. I have cousins who are also identical twins they are a lot younger they are probably about 10 or 11 now. I can tell them apart too. Twins run in my family so it's not something new to me. Most of the twins in my family aren't identical though, but there are a couple of sets that are. I don't think I would want an identical twin myself. I am paranoid that I may eventually have twins since my dad is a twin and my boyfriends mom is a twin. It would be odd if they were identical, I would be paranoid about getting them mixed up at first. I mean I'm sure later I would be able to tell them apart, but I think at first it may be a bit difficult.

Agreed on that sister! If I were a woman and was married to a guy who was identical to a friend's husband, it would be so weird and crazy! The choices they could make would be endless and shocking if they were compromised.

When I was in Grade 4, I have a classmates that are triplets not
twins, but triplets and when I was in Grade 5, I saw identical
twins in my school. It is so nice to have an identical twins, but
sometimes it made us really confuse if the twins made a joke on
us. For example, switching their names and pretended to be her
even if it is not, but for me identical twin is fine. Its
fascinate me because they're twins, he he he

I asked them if it were possible for them to switch places at the start of their last class.. I'm pretty sure they were considering it, but it kind of sucked that they said no.. It's almost as if they can telepathically argue over this!

I had a classmate in Grade School, they were Kristine and Katherine. You would barely notice any difference int he beginning. But when you've gotten used to them, you'll see their difference. It is hard to pinpoint the difference, but after spending time with them, they could no longer fool me who's who.

That girl in my English class eventually told me that the main difference between the two is that she didn't have a birth mark on her right cheek, and it was a very faint birth mark..
I think It'll take me a while to figure out who's who, since it took me a while to realize that difference between them.

As far as I remember, on twin had a mole on her face which was a bit faint really to be recognized unless you really go near her.
I am sure you'd get the hang of it. You will see that despite the semblance, there are a few things that makes them apart from each other.

I am so sorry to hear that. But it is quite amazing how they could just shrug off the problem when they could actually see it everyday. Hasn't there any candidate for the elections made it as one of his platforms to give assistance to these poor people? I honestly feel bad about them here in the streets. And although the government has a program for them, I know that they are not really out there to clean the streets and get rid of the beggars.
If only I had the money to out up a program or even a foundation for them, I would really do that.
