To all the only children and oldest siblings, this is the perspective of 2 brothers in the same grade.
Ben’s perspective: Having a brother in the same school is entertaining. It can be beneficial in many different ways, such as being able to talk to them a lot, which is fun. We can also partner up if we don’t like anyone else in the class. I don’t know how it feels to be an only child, so I don’t know if it is fun to be alone. Another example of why it is beneficial to have a brother in the same grade is that we can ask each other what happened in the classes we have coming up. Sometimes it can be annoying to have a brother, especially if you have a twin because people can mess you two up with each other.
Matthew’s perspective: Having a brother can be fun but also annoying. Sometimes it can be annoying to share almost everything. But most of the time you always have someone to play with or talk to. Also, if you ever switch teams for sports or schools, you can always talk to your brother. Another reason having a brother is nice because if you have a class where you don’t know anybody you might have your brother in it.
