If I had a choice of being the oldest, middle, youngest or only child I would be the oldest. Even though I'm already the oldest, the firstborn has many benefits. The firstborn also has a great personality. Most of the oldest kids in the family do well in life. I wouldn't change my birth order being the oldest is great.
In my family I'm the oldest child and from experience the oldest child has many advantages. The oldest child has attention of parents so your side will be heard. Adults would see you as a responsible person and trustworthy. As being the oldest you have mostly the first at everything. Being the firstborn in the family is great .
The oldest child has a great personality as studies show. An article called Birth Order Connection says how the first born is usually a natural leader, high achiever, in control, picky people and organized. My traits are smart, picky, organized, sensitive and more. I can compare my traits to the traits firstborns usually have. I do agree with these traits Birth Order Connection states.
According to the Birth Order Connection article most politicians, spokespersons and managing directors are firstborns. This shows how most firstborns are successful. Another article called Huffington Post says how firstborns have a higher IQ in their family. It also stated how firstborns are intelligent. The article states that the oldest child works toward greatness. These are reasons on how a firstborn usually leads to a good life.
To conclude, though there are negative traits with being the oldest such as being a know it all, lack sensitivity and be bossy being the oldest is great. In my family I'm the oldest but I wouldn't change my birth order if I could. Being the firstborn has many benefits. I am happy with being the oldest child in my family.
