He wishes he was more like his younger brother, Drew handsome, lucky, talented - or anything positive. Regardless of whether Chris possesses any positive traits, he's certainly never treated as if he does being disliked by the opposite race or the opposite gender , unlike his siblings. He tries hard to fit in with his peers and make his family proud, but often finds himself a victim of circumstance due to his desperate methods of doing such.
Chris is bullied during his time at Corleone with little protection obtained from teachers or faculty members , thrown under the bus by his sister, one upped and mate poached by his brother, singled out by the racist teaching staff, rejected by girls most of whom Drew ends up taking , slandered by his neighbors, robbed by neighborhood thugs, is underpaid at work, is given excessive discipline by his mother and is given back seat treatment by his father.
As the eldest child, he is often put in charge of his younger siblings, but they usually disobey him and he usually has to take the blame for them.
Next to all this, Chris is the butt of the last jokes in almost every episode. People just seem to hate him for inexplicable reasons. His luck does improve as the series progresses. One of his talents is playing Asteroids and the other is calling basketball games.
As he gets older, Chris becomes interested in stand-up comedy and begins telling jokes in school and upon starting high school at Tattaglia, he is far less often bullied or antagonized by anyone but Joey Caruso and his friends. At the end of the series β after being told that he has to repeat the tenth grade for constantly being late for school β he drops out and gets his GED , though his narrator dropped out due to bullying.
