In English, the phrase 'black sheep of the family' is used to describe someone who doesn't live his or her life the way the rest of the family expects them to.
People like this must be common, because many other languages, mostly European, have exactly the same idiom. Other languages, like Russian, talk about someone being a 'white crow '(crows being birds that are nearly always black). Real black sheep are rather rare. From a farmer's point of view, black wool couldn't be changed into different colours, so it was seen as worthless. As a result, farmers used to be disappointed when, by chance, their white sheep sometimes had a baby with black wool. So if a family had a black sheep, it was definitely thought to be something undesirable.
Nowadays, though, the phrase has lost some of its negative meaning. This is probably because people don't worry as much as they used to if someone is a bit different from normal. In fact, some people even think of it as an advantage: it means that the person has a more exciting life than most others, who just follow the rules and don't take risks.
