What makes us different?

After watching "Abby and Brittany Turn 16" I obviously see the physical difference between myself and the twins. After that what else is different? Is the only difference between the twins and I is the fact that they're conjoined? I know the first answer in your head is telling you no that's not the only difference. You probably saying we're different because normal people don't have a conjoined twin. Another difference might be the fact that I wouldn't have to take the driving test two times. Those are valid differences between the twins and I, but there's so many similarities between us as well.

How about the fact that they even have the chance to take a driving test? No matter who you are, taking the driving test to get your drivers license is pretty normal if you ask me. Another big example of similarities between the twins and I is the fact that they still have emotional feelings for someone of the opposite sex. Both girls, even though the other girl is right there are seen talking to boys in a social setting. Their mom said she's heard them talk about boys to their other girl friends. With those two examples alone, it makes me think what we consider "different" in today's society? Is it the fact that their conjoined makes them different? Like I said earlier, how different is that?

I know physical difference is something that sets people apart, but what about the most important factors, like personality, hobbies, and common interest? The twins showed all these things. They have friends they hang out with, they celebrate their birthday, drive places, talk about boys, and overall just be a regular teenager.

Society may want to rethink what they see as someone being different. Not everyone in this world is going to look or act the perfect way. Once we accept everyone for who they are, I feel that this world will be a better place. Abby and Brittany seem to be just like everyone else to me. Their conjoined, but they have their own thoughts, feelings, emotions, hobbies, likes and dislikes. They get happy and sad at times, and they may not be happy with themselves all the time, but think about it, who is? So does that mean we're all conjoined?
