#9

#10

The youngest child in a family is often the most outgoing and social, but they also spend a lot of time wearing hand-me-downs that are ragged, incredibly out of style, or too big. They are also likely to get picked on from time to time.

#11

Firstborns, like comedians, are often known and loved by millions of fans. Not all comics are pure lastborns, however. Some are firstborns who have an older sister to remind them to seek excellence.

#12

The firstborn is the leader of the family, and they are usually well liked. They are confident, creative, artistic, and well liked. However, they can also be neat as a pin and well liked.

#13

The second child is typically a mediator and a negotiator who avoids conflict. They are usually the one to leave home
