Being the youngest in the family
definitely has its perks but also some not so good things. I am the
youngest of three kids and there has definitely been time were I love
it and times I absolutely hate it. It always seems like everything
revolves around older siblings. Those of us who are the youngest are
drug to numerous sporting events, music concerts and academic
assemblies all because we can't be left at home alone. This got so
annoying growing up. But the funny thing now is that they aren't here
to watch our games or watch us at our important moments because they
are at college or in the real world.
Another thing that is hard about being
the youngest is hammy downs. So many hammy downs. The other siblings
always got the new clothes and the youngest just get what they don't
wear or what they grew out of. Another bad thing is being picked on.
In my family my brother closer in age to me than my sister so I
always got beat up by my brother for being the “annoying little
sister” and he would physically push me around. One time he even
picked me up and threw me off the couch. I'm not going to lie, I
probably deserved some of it but the other times he just took his
anger out on me.
On the other side of things it might be
harder to be the older sibling. They have to stay home and babysit
the younger kids and also always be acting as role models. From their
point of view it might also feel as though that the younger sibling
get more attention.
I don't think being the oldest or the
youngest is any harder or easier than the other. Both have good and
bad things about it. On the bright side we should always be lucky to
have siblings because they will almost always grow to be your best
friends.
I think this is very true. Us older sibs pick on the younger ones a lot. But the younger ones are known for being annoying. I also think it's true that as you grow up you and your siblings get closer.
