Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think matters where you were born in your family.
But there are different ideas about birth order means. Some people say that the oldest children, are smart and strong-willed, are very likely (succeed). The reason this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for the first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for same reason. What happens to the other children in the family? (lose) in the crowd sometimes, middle children don't get so much attention when a family has many children, so they don't feel that important. The youngest child, however, often gets special (treat). Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite (difference). The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in their lives. They usually(follow) orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.
