In the twenty-first century many couples decided to have one child.

Some children feel good without


a siblings other wish they had a brother or sister. What are advantages and disadvantages of being
an only child ?

The first I think being an only child is better than everything because being an only child has many
different advantages like your parents buy you more stuff. Being an only child has many advantages
such as experiencing quieter and more relaxed a growth phase. But being an only child also has its
downsides. The main is that child usually spend much time alone. Their characters become selfish
and unsociable, it might have a problem with socializing with society and people in neighborhood.
Another disadvantage is that only children are under parents pressure. They do not have freedom of
choice or own plans about future. As a result they become dependent on parents so being an only
child is very boring most of the time and everyone knows that loneliness is not a good thing. That's
why it's so nice to have siblings. In other words doing a lot of things together with your siblings is one
of the best things in the world. Having a sibling means being able to talk to him, spending time,
helping each other. But when you’re an only child you learn to stand by yourself. I mean both things
have their good sides. It doesn't matter if you are an only child or have a sibling, the important thing
is to always be happy. Whether you're alone or with a sibling, you must always find a way to be
happy somehow.

If you have a sibling, you are very lucky, but if you don't, just don't despair. You have to remind
yourself how strong you are alone. Because even being able to stand alone, is a sign of great
strength. In conclusion, being an only child has its advantages and disadvantages. I think the main
role is about parents and how they should treat their children.
