Too many to list down about what has been happening in my life. Next entry I guess. For this post, I wanna share with you guys from what I'd gathered from the Internet on being a Middle Child. Since I'm a middle child myself. And to those out there who are middle child or second-born child, read this!
Middle Child Syndrome
The middle or second born child or children often have the sense of not belonging. They fight to receive attention from parents and others because they feel many times they are being ignored or dubbed off as being the same as another sibling. Being in the middle a child can feel insecure. The middle child often lacks drive and looks for direction from the first born child. Sometimes a middle child feels out of place because they are not over achievers and like to go with the flow of things.
Being a middle child would mean they are loners. They really don’t like to latch on to a person in a relationship, there fore they have trouble keeping one due to lack of interest. Not liking to take the limelight for anything, they are not over achievers and just simply work enough work to get by, and typically that goes with school as well as a career.
They are however very artistic and creative. If forced to use abilities they will work well, but do not work well under pressure. They often start several projects but rarely keep focused long enough to finish a project. The best career move for a middle child would be along the lines of using their creative. Going into a writing or journalism career, and into a career that they could freely express themselves would be good. Anything that would have hours that are flexible, and projects that frequently changed would be good for a middle born child.
Since relationships are not of high importance to a middle child, often times they are alone. However, the best possible match for a middle child would be a last born. <-I find this funny!
Benefits of Being A Middle Child
"Sometimes parents are very overprotective of their first born child, and they get more relaxed with the next child,"
"Middle children tend to work extra hard to please their parents, siblings and teachers,"
Fried-Buchalter said.
Wallace said, "Parents are often too busy to scrutinize and be strict, so they tend to be lighter with rules and let things slide more."
Middle children also tend to have very social, creative personalities that they can use to their advantage. Wallace said many of them become artists, writers and join other professions that cater to creative passions.
She also said middles tend to have humorous personalities from years of becoming the jokester of the family to achieve attention.
DeBroff thinks they tend to have a more relaxed attitude toward life because their parents were more relaxed and less anxious with them.

I think middle child tend to be more independant and different from the elder and the younger ones. The creative part I don't really found it reliable... Hehe... Cause I don't see myself being creative. Maybe people who can see that.
Ok, I dunno whether this is what we called coincidence or what...
The peeps in this picture all are middle child.

Asiah & Amirah-> Stucked between elder sister and younger sister.

Cheers to all middle child!
That's all for now folks... Adios!
