Birth Order

This week I read the article that our English teacher gave us in the English class. The article talked about the influence of your birth order in your life.

According to the article, the older child tries to suppress the view of himself as a child and he becomes more parental than the rest of siblings.
The middle child has more freedom than his older sibling because parents are more relaxed. In addition, he has two options when he needs help, his parents and his siblings.
The younger child is the less responsible and he tends to think he is always protected.

I know this article is a general idea about family but now, there are too many kinds of families to generalize.

These are some examples to tell you what I mean. For instance, when there is a gap in years between younger child and the rest of siblings, he becomes as an only child because he is surrounded by adults all his childhood.
Sometimes, the only child becomes an adult as if he were an older sibling, so he needs to grow up quickly to help his family or to help himself.
There are cases where the middle sibling has a big problem of jealousy or he is more parental than his older sibling.

In conclusion, our birth order is important in our lives but our charater depends on our family situations .
