      Maybe younger people have a higher chance of having an "unhealthy" breakup behavior?
  • “I’ve got enough problems without some stupid boy breaking up with me on Facebook.”
    • Akela Baldwin
       
      This shows that many teenagers are faced with so many difficulties and changes in their lives that bad breakups only cause unhealthy behaviors of teens that may take a while to recover from.

The Power of Birth Order - TIME - 29 views

  • Younger siblings see things differently and struggle early on to shake up the existing order.
    • Akela Baldwin

  • For children who have at least one elder sibling, however, the realization typically comes earlier
    • Akela Baldwin
       
      This trait continues as the siblings get older ,too. The younger sibling will learn from mistakes that the older sibling did at school or at home.

      Ants are so smart! I didn't think that those little creatures could use their brain in such a way!
