Twins
COLLAPSE
I personally think twins shouldn’t be sperated at birth. I
do believe that when twins are in the womb they get attached to eachother. In
the video she described always saying like your my twin sister, apart of her
knew with out knowing she had a twin sister. This is more nature towards the
individuals who separated the twin girls for studies. This made the able to
study the differences of them being apart. Separating the twin sister I figure
would be hurting the girls for that they were close and had to learn
experiences apart from each other. They both received nurturing from separate
parents, but didn’t get to experience the feeling, emotions, or the fact they
had a sister.
My cousin has a set of twin boy’s. I hate to say no matter
how much she nurtures with the twins, they continue to misbehave. So separation
in schools, daycare, church, or any activity it’s recommended to separate the
for their ability to learn. Other wise they will fight, rebel, and not listen
together. My cousin has tried everything in the book to get her twin boys to
behave, because she has three other children learning these poor behaviors from
the twins. To fnd out the boys have a disability to where they can’t feel pain
so this is why they act out, and constantly on the go. So until you know how
they act together do you think they should be separated?
