Why Doesnt Your Sister Talk Selective Mutism and Me

Why doesnt your sister talk

I can hear these words being said just as if they were being said yesterday, the words uttered out of the mouth of my brothers friends, or from other pupils at my primary school in other classes.
Why doesnt your sister talk is what Shaun tells me is what the other pupils are asking him, He is not telling me for my protection

or support, but to be quarrelsome, I dont understand why he wants to be like this with me, He is annoyed that others are asking him about me, I dont think he has an answer for them, so he is coming onto me because he does not like the attention he is getting, and he feels it is all my doing.
Why cant you be the same as everyone else He disapproves of me so much, but I dont have any answers for him, I cannot help him when he gets asked why his little sister is not the same as everyone else.
