 | My parents are divorced. I am the youngest from my mother and the second born, out of six, from my father. I consider myself the youngest. I do not agree with the bias that a younger sibling carries. I believe it has to do with the way you are brought up mentally, physically, in your environment, and your relationship with your parents.
I support that reason because I was mentally brought up to be the "oldest". To have those major responsibilities. Maybe, because my older brother, as a child, was hyper-active and always was in "LD" classes, I had to replace the role of the "older sibling" taking care of my brother in times that were not well during the seperation of my parents. But this fact only supports my idea much more. It was the responsibility that i had that has stuck with until now.
I'm very independent and do not like to depend on my mother. My brother on the other hand, is very much dependent on my brother. I work full-time and is a full-time student. My brother dropped out of highschool, and works part-time. I am quiet around new faces, very, very observant, tempermental and moody, "a rock" when it comes to emotions, and opinionated. My brother is a social-lite, emotional and easy to "forgive and forget", not opinionate, an attention seeker, and follows the "crowd". I've always done wellin school and my brother always had difficulties.
Look at the correlation between my brother and I. Complete opposites.He of course has a better relationship with both of my parents, and I do not.
I just want to know why this is so. If it has to do with the way i was tought mentally or if it really is my birth order. Please help me, if you can! |
