Birth Order
Birth is a very complex thing. Everything from looks, gender, hair-color, body-weight, and eye-sight, comes from a very intricate equation pertaining to genetics and heredity. Although the order of which we come in to this world compared to our siblings has an amazingly large impact on the way our personality is shaped. Everyone is a child to another human-being, either you’re an only child or your birth order can differ by endless possibilities.

Sometimes only children are referred to as “super first bourns”. First born children are most like an “experiment” to see what type of parental strategy will work the best or how they will relate to their children later on down the line. People who are born first in their family usually become high achievers, and often have leader type personalities. They become very critical, analytical, and typically judge their selves by how other people think of them. These characteristics listed above are more like guidelines more than anything else.
