Why are the first borns more likely to succeed?

Repliku said: ↑

Actually, being a first born, I would have to say that it's because we have more responsibility than the others do, and also get shafted more. We are pushed to watch over our siblings, learn to try to settle disputes better, and well, my parents just were on me for nearly anything. Also, parents tend to get more income and better situations as the first kid grows so that kid is often kind of left out of things like getting the 'coolest' stuff because the birth is often not so planned for and parents also need their time of adjustment so the first kid is the 'trial' kid. The others also don't have to work as hard at some things as the first child does and I remember being more or less raised to watch after them and I had to babysit them from age 13, which sucked. Them arguing with me over that really taught me tolerance though. I remember not getting an allowance until I was 12 and by then I was already mowing other people's lawns and such and at 13 took up a paper route to make money while my siblings (3 others) could sit around a lot more and none of them had to get work until they were out of school, while I had a solid part time job at 16.

So, I think the expectations are just there for an older sibling to push him/herself, watch over the younger siblings so they don't get 'picked on' as much as the older one would with no real protection, and they had to deal with less of a stable world as parents adjust to that new life of having the first kid. Dealing with it all I think motivates the first child -if- the child cares about it all. There are some people that were 'first children' that rebelled utterly from what their parents rather tossed on them too, so I can't say it always holds true but there just does most of the time seem more of a drive to get the first kid moving upward and growing up faster than the others because parents need help with the other siblings and duties around the house and it just gets put on the oldest kid more often. As someone pointed out above, sometimes the oldest sibling can turn out to be the lazy bum too so it depends on how much responsibility parents do put on the oldest and also if the oldest child is willing to actually do what is demanded of them. If they aren't, generally the duties fall to others because the first child is not doing an adequate job and if they want it done, they must turn to others.

There are also reports that the middle children often feel more isolated and the youngest children are babied more often, which I think in my family held true to some degree as well. It is an interesting query to think about.

Completely true.I'm always babied by my parents :/

I have two older brothers.One's 21 and the other is 18.The 22 year old has a big responsibility in my family.When my parents aren't home, he can't go out with his friends and has to stay home to take care of me and my other brother.My parents are always bothering him to get a job ever since he quit his last one.He is going to college.My other brother(18 year old) he is is pretty intelligent but he hasn't been getting good grades like before.And as for me,pretty much my aunt is the one that thinks I will be the one that will be more successful than my brothers.I don't know why though.I do get good grades,like A's and B's and one or two C's but I don't think I'll be more succesful than my brothers.My parents and the rest of my family want ALL three of us to be successful.My mom is always bothering me to become a doctor or something.A career that will give you a pretty good pay.But I always reject those because I want to become a Zoologist.So pretty much I think the onyl reason why the first born might become more successful than the others because they have a higher responsibility than the younger siblings.

Insult to make our selves feel better?

This is an interesting question.I would have to say both.I don't like to insult people unless they end up provoking me at a point where I can't stand it.But most of the time I just ignore it.I do believe that most people just insult other people just to make themselves feel better.For example I've been told many times by friends that I'm pretty.But people that don't know me would say they think I'm ugly.I just ignore it.If they don't like the way I look oh well,not my problem.And if people know who you are and they insult you it could possibly be both.They insult you to make themselves feel better and because they don't like you.
