Middle Child Me
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, therefore 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.

In his book on the New Birth Order, he talks about how the order of your family and your parent's order in their family will affect the upbringing of an individual.
As He himself is a last child, he talked more about the last and since the most distinct character among the three is the first, almost all of the book is about them... Of cos there's the special only childs as well...
But, I must say that I was disappointed to learn that only a fingertip of pages are used to talk about the middle child, just like in real life, where the middle child is always neglected and unnoticed...
You might be wondering why am I writing about middle childs, well, course all the bad feelings that I have right now are all that a typical middle would feel. Neglected, dejected, un-noticed, unimportant and somewhat outcast... Me being in the middle, I always feel that I'm the odd one out. I'm always the troublemaker (but am I?) and being the most demanding...
But COME ON, I know what I want. And I know that I am different. In fact, I'm a complete opposite to my elder sibling. And my younger sibling, he's rated as Royalty, since he's the youngest and the only son in our Asian family. So my elder siblings the guinea pig while the "King" takes the safe and tested route to success... Me? left to survive on my own...
... Somehow life is never fair...
