middle-child syndrome?

edited January 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
I'm 20 years old. I have a sister of 17 and an older bro who is 23. As long as i can remember i've been the most troubled and least successful of the three (there has to be one, right?) Also less academically gifted, more isolated and basically more pissed off than them, although i do have the superior taste in music.

I'm wondering, is there any truth in the 'middle-child syndrome' theory?

    In my experience, there is no truth whatsoever in that crap. You could always ask you're folks about it. Seriously they'll probably put your mind at ease about how you feel. Or talk to your bro and your sis, they may well be thinking that they're a case of eldest/youngest child syndrome themselves... :p

    I dunno man, they say that first children are supposed to have higher IQs but my younger brother is like 600 times smarter than me. so who knows if any of these birth order things are valid.

    Jeffrey Dahmer used the middle child syndrome as his excuse

    judge: so you killed and ate 13 gay kids

    JD: hey i was a middle child

    judge: oh really! sorry we didnt know that.. here's a gift voucher for an "all you can eat Chinese buffet"... there's billions of them fuckers... get eating

    JD: thanks :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    My middle child is deffo the most awkward....and so my big bro's middle child. There's something in it I'd say.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
    decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter

    My sisters the middle child.She has an unshakable belief that middle child syndrome exists.She has had some shitty experiences and now at 43 is only just getting her life together.She blames all this on the fact she was always fighting for attention and felt ignored.She has three kids and is already identifing M.C.S. in her 12 year old son.
    I think it's shit,our parents treated us all with a great deal of love and supported us in anything we did.

    I'm the youngest...have two older sisters...and the most troubled is definitely the oldest, though I would be in contention. By far the LEAST troubled and happiest has always been the "middle child".

    And i'm the smart one. I really don't mean that to come across as arrogant, because i'm really not. But it's true.

    it does exist.
    i dont use it as an excuse though. i mention it more as a expierence.

    my older sister has 6 books of her growing up from baby to about 5 yr old.
    baby, baptism, 1st step, 1st actually meal , her in this dress, her in that, 1st this, 1st that, lots of picts with all types of family members.

    my younger sister has 5 books of pretty much the same.

    i have 6.
    no not 6 books, 6 pictures. i have my sonogram, my just born, my baptism, one my grandma took of me and my grandpa, one of me at 4 years old carrying grocery, and one with me and my two sisters.

    there is lots of stuff that is like that, but that is one that i find that happens a lot with other middle children
    mean people suck!
    but nice people sw****w
