Meixuan: Prejudice

My cousin has two daughters in primary school. His oldest daughter is second in level while his second daughter is only above average of her peers. My cousin often treats his older daughter better than his second daughter in small and subtle ways. He likes to praise his oldest daughter in front of our family while not saying anything about the grades of his second daughter. He is also more lenient in punishment towards his oldest daughter than second daughter. For example, when both sisters get into a fight he tends to scold the second daughter a wee bit more than his oldest daughter even though both are equally at fault. He is obviously bias towards his older daughter. As such, whenever I see him I tend to be less respectful as I am unable to respect a prejuiced father.

I strongly believe that as a parent he should be fair and unbiased. My father treats all three of us equally. My sister is in Dunman High while my brother is in Gifted Educational Programme (GEP). I am only in Anglican High and have the lowest grades among the three of us. However he is never biased and treats all of us equally. Sometimes my sister and brother get more attention from relatives because they have better grades than me but I do not really care about them as long as my parents are not prejuiced. But still to make me feel better, I think of them as ignorant backward fools.
