Birth Order

I recently read an article about birth order in Time Magazine Your Body. This article was very interesting to me and very eye opening because it was talking about the oldest, middle, and youngest child which relates very well to my family. What this article was talking about was how birth order can define who a person is when they are older and why they are that way or why things happened that way. What they have discovered is, the firstborns are generally smarter, and more intellectual than any other siblings. They have a three-point IQ advantage over the next eldest. The second child is a point ahead of the third child. The youngest child tends to be more of the clown and they are able to get their way by being funny and outrageous. Middle children tend to be a question mark, and they never get 100% of the attention from the parents. Middle children at times just get stuck in the center seat. I thought this article was very interesting and I could really relate to it a lot yet at times disagree with the information given. It was weird sometimes how things perfectly made sense. Personally in my opinion, this article really defined a lot to me and I am very glad that I read it.
