When brothers and sisters don't get along well, it's called sibling rivalry. A sibling is a brother or sister and rivalry means competition. It's normal, but too much competition can make for an unhappy home life.

　　A little competition isn't a bad thing.Sometimes it can keep you working hard—when you and your brother spend time shooting hoops. If he's good at it, it may make you want to improve, too. But some sibling rivalry involves arguments—when you think your brother is hogging (独占) the ball. People who love each other might argue sometimes, but too much fighting is unpleasant for everyone.

　　Have you ever heard of the green­eyed monster called jealousy (嫉妒)? Sometimes brothers and sisters are jealous of one another. For instance, if your sister always does well at school, it may be frustrating for you, especially if your grades are lower. Although you're probably proud of your brothers and sisters, it's normal to be a little jealous，too. It may make you feel better to focus more on doing your own personal things，rather than comparing yourself with a brother or sister.

　　All kids want attention from their parents, but sometimes you need to take turns. If you're feeling ignored or your brother or sister is always in the spotlight，talk to your mom or dad. If a parent knows you're feeling left out, he or she can think out ways to help you feel better again.

　　语篇解读：兄弟姐妹之间会有竞争，也一定会有问题存在。当兄弟姐妹之间相处不好时，就会出现嫉妒。兄弟姐妹之间到底应该如何友好相处呢？
