9 Signs You're The Middle Child

I'm the middle child, I'm the reason we have rules.

9 Signs You're The Middle Child
Emma Daubert

In This Article:

Being the middle child is nice because I had someone to learn from and someone to teach everything I learned. It also has its downfalls though. You often hear of how middle children are forgotten, and sometimes that's the case. I definitely blame my big personality and loud mouth on being the middle child though.

Here are 9 sings that you are definitely the middle child:

1. You love love love attention.

Anytime you can get attention, you will soak it all up.

2. You're the rebellious child.

We have to keep things interesting so we aren't forgotten.

3. You're the black sheep of the family.

I don't know what it is, but the middle child is just different than the others, you stick out like a sore thumb.

4. You exaggerate A LOT! 

Again, we like that attention, so we'll do whatever it takes to get it.

5. You love being in the middle of everything.

Family arguments that don't involve you at all but you just have to butt in, it's just too good.

6. Most of your clothes are hand-me-downs.

When I say most I mean all.

7. You are fiercely independent.

The "forgetfulness" of a middle child is turned into independence in all aspects.

8. You can handle your own.

Growing up fighting off an older and younger sibling at the same time makes a person a little feisty. Can you blame us?

9. Your older sibling is the perfect angel, and your younger sibling is the adorable baby.

Hello people, what the heck am I?!?!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
