Is it better to be the oldest or the youngest in a family?

Everyone, who is happy enough to have siblings, knows what a pleasure it is. But, whether you
believe it or not birth order plays an important role in our life so there is still an issue about which
one is better, being the oldest or the youngest.

Personally, I think it’s better to be youngest in a family. You get all the attention from everyone
and they take care of you, because you are a baby and always will be in their eyes. But,
sometimes it can be a problem if they don’t take you seriously. Since your siblings are older than
you, it gives you a chance to learn from their mistakes. Also you have wiser friend and possibly a
role model.

However, some people think that it’s better to be the oldest. When you are first-born parents are
inexperienced so they trying their best. They are energetic and enthusiastic about new family.
Because of that you are their main priority.

To conclude, either way if you are not an only child, you will always have someone who supports
you and be there for you when you go through an ordeal.
