My mom she's my mother but also my best friend, for all the 15 years i knew her she always was right there, she's like my dad to in some ways. My mom has 4 kids and takes care of them all by herself and make sure she helps us in anyway. We have our little moments together, the times we don't want to talk but we get over it, because at the end she's my heart and somebody i can count on. One embarrassment though that almost altered our relationship is when i used to be a troublemaker and i got suspended and she you used to make me so wall sits and i used to get so angry i wouldn't talk to her for a week, but shell feel bad though, but eventually i get over it. - SHAWNYE

Yeah because with the firsts child the parents are unexperienced and don't fully know the best way to raise a kid, while the parents usually get better as time goes on it'll still have a impact and affect their future because the way you've been raised will affect you.

I do think birth order does kind of matter, depending on the family though. For me I think it does, but for some of my friends it doesn't. So, it depends on the parents way of dong things and how they respond to certain things in my opinion.

I don't think your birth order has anything to do with your future. I'm the youngest and it doesn't affect mine or my brother's future. Like for example my brother is really smart and gets good grades but never played sports. I also get good grades and I play sports and that has nothing to do with whether or not I'm the youngest or oldest.

There are many superstitions like knock on wood, crossing your fingers, or saying break a leg. I am going to explain to you my favorite superstitions. The first one don't whistle after dark. My family thinks whistling past dark is inviting spirits in your house. If you some how whistle past dark you have to suck the air back in

I have mixed feelings on whether or not birth order affects how successful one can be. I am the second oldest, who is planning on going into college. My father was in the military and got money for either him or a family member to go to school and would be completely payed for. Originally, my older sister (18) was going to get it, but due to certain circumstances of her actions, I am getting it as I am much closer to college than my littlest sister (6). Therefore, birth order has its affects on everyone in different ways.

I agree with this statement because everyone's life has a meaning. The years in life don't matter its the life in the years. In the future i want to play volleyball and have a music career. I really like both of these things. These are important to me because they both have a speacial meaning to me. Volleyball was my grandfathers favorite sport before he passed and it is awesome to me. Music career is because i love music and its a memory i have of what my life used to be like

My mom, me and her have a good relationship but it's to much sometimes because we to much alike. She's always there to support me through good and bad and there every time I get a award or get called out for something good. Even though she a good mother and always there she always saying embarrassing stuff that she don't got to be saying. But in the end its all love but I be like why would you say that because I wouldn't say that stuff around nobody or her friends so sometimes it be making me mad but I look back and laugh at it. -Erika

I don't think birth order has anything to do with anybody future it just depends on you strive and determination to better in life. I'm the oldest and I make mistakes but I'm also a leader and my little sister looks up to me a lot and I really have to be a better person for her. If I be a role model for people, they can be successful and do better and be somebody else's role model.

not in a superstitious sense but usually order affects responsibilities. for example the oldest child usually has the most responsibility and so on.-damari (:

It can effect some things. Such as how I got my first phone when I was 12 and my younger sister got her first iPad when she was 5. Also I'm not sure if this happens in other familys but the youngest is always treated the best, the oldest is expected to do so good, and the middle is supposed to be a "man" then sometimes be a "kid". So I dont think it effects the future but it does effect some things.

My mom, my relationship with my mom is really good we even have a certain word for i love you that I made up when i was closer to a baby so I couldn't really say that word to well, so we stuck with it, one time in an indoor soccer tournament I scored the last goal with like 5 seconds left to put us in the lead and we won, and we went home and ate at panda express, another time i said the word for love between me and my mom Infront of my friends and they haven't stopped mocking me for like 2 years.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with the statement. Something that I would like to experience or accomplish in my life is to major in criminology in college.

Also I hope that someday I will have my own business making all of my money on my own. - alyssa

I was once blinded by pride about 2 years ago. When I ran track, sense I was the fastest kid out there none of the other kids could ever beat me. And I didn't realize it but I became more selfish on who got to run certain things and who I ran my relays with.
And when you get to the point were aggression and pride mix it becomes a whole lot worse and could get you a bad rep or just in a lot of trouble in my case they removed me from the track team that year before we went to states but by the time that happened I had already stopped running track for schools and I started doing it for myself.

I have a various amount of feelings about this. I am the oldest child with 3 younger siblings. I am the one who is always helping aorund the house, baby sitting my siblings, and pretty much being a big sister/ mom to my siblings. Sometimes i get overwellmed because my parents expect more things from me than my other sibling and want me to do more than my other siblings which is stredd ful. But at the same time they give me freedom because i am a teenager and they just want me to experience life and see what the world is really like

# data[].attributes.body
I do think birth order dose effect someone's future. My older sister tins to point it out all the time. She would say when i was little I couldn't do that or wow I never got allowance. I am the youngest in my siblings, so I often get more Christmas gifts then them.

My dad and I have a good relationship. He and I get along fairly well and we do have conversations about stuff that im curious about, and stuff that he is curious about. I like asking questions about how it was like to be deployed and away from his family, and he asks questions about my musical and extra cirricular activities. I belive the biggest accomplishment I have with my dad is that him and I get along. As i know some people don't always get along with their father,or don't even have one,  so I am lucky to have mine.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think it effects anyone future honestly, and im basically the baby the baby out of all of the siblings i have sometimes im proud of it because i get spoiled a lot and i get more then what my other siblings get because the rest of my siblings are actually grown.

I agree with this axiom because you should be living your years to the fullest and doing the things you love, don't wasting what years you have left doing nothing. If you just do nothing in your younger years, you're going to regret it. I've had elder people tell me that they wished they had done more stuff when they were younger.

I personally do agree that birth order can have an effect on a persons future based on the circumstance. If its a big family with alot of kids, it really depends on how the oldest kids deal with not getting as much attention that their younger siblings can get as they grow up. But also a younger child can get more pressure and higher expectations as their older siblings move. - alyssa

I don't think your birth order has any thing to do with your future. I am the oldest and and i still get treated the same as my younger brother and sister. for example me and my sister both are smart and we both played a sport and that has nothing to do with how younger or older i am- AIDAN

My older brother, Luis is probably most like me, or so everyone says. We have some common personality traits. We have a competitive but encouraging relationship, he pushed me to do better, and I do the same. A moment of success that we have shared was when he recovered from his injury and for the first time in nine months, we went out to play soccer. Now he's back in collage working hard. He sometimes embarrasses me or teases me about things but it's all just joking around. Overall, we get along great. Can't wait to spend the summer with him!

My mom is my bestfriend. Me and her are so much alike that we 🤬 heads so much. She helps me through the ups and downs and is always there to support me and comfort me when i need it. But sometimes she does stuff that makes me really mad. Me and her argue all the time because of how much were alike but at the end of the day us arguing is nothing because we both love eachother deeply. For a while it was just me and my mom and my sister. She was trying to raise 2 kids by herself and then she had another kid so she was raising 3 kids by herself for a while because stuff in my past happened and it was rough. She worked 2 jobs just to make enough to raise us so she didnt loose us. I helped her as much as i could. I love her so much. she means the world to me

I have never really been lose to my imitate family, but 'm really close to my cousin. They're like my sibling but better. I tell them everything, and they do the same to me. Recently we've been getting closer because of some certain thing we have in common, and we'll talk everyday. But, when I was younger, we were close but not as close, I had really bad anger problems and they were always around when I would 'blow up' and I always felt bad and they knew it, but I would say some  hurtful things to them. They've helped me with controlling it, and making sure I'm not holding anything in so it doesn't happen again, and I do the same to them. they're always there when I need them, and I make sure I'm there for them too.

to me I don't get special treatment because I am the youngest of three and my sister is the oldest and right now is I guess ok to her, but I want to go to ECU, so I guess I have more standards than her and I want to go further I guess since I'm the little brother I've always been the one to get picked on and when I was younger I would always take the blame for my siblings wrong doings and I would take so much blame my parents started to question if I was actually doing all of these wrongs, I don't think being in a certain part of your family will change anything about how well you do in life because in my opinion it is all about the perspective, personality, and mindset

I'd say it's my mom, but to be different I'm going to go with my older brother. So back in the marching season, hw stopped me from getting into a fight with another percussionist. Looking back on it, it was embarrassing but I was too mad to realize it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think that birth  order does effect the family in some ways, for example, I am the oldest and have two younger sisters. There are more responsibility's for me to do then the second oldest has to do but the youngest is still a baby so she can't really do anything. I am expected to do things my mom says while my sister sits on her phone and does nothing. When I don't do something my mom tells me to do I get my things taken away but my sister gets away with it.

I'd agree, because it's not about how long you live. It's about the most you make of the time you live. I want to know what it feels like to play games for a living. Like, actually make money from it, cause I'm already pretty good at most of the games I play and I've got started, I just need a few more followers until I'm affiliate on twitch (I have 33/50 followers, and I'm not going to put my twitch here.

Ok, so I remember when I was younger and I was playing soccer. At the time, I was a team captain, a top scorer on my team, and everyone always relied on me. I was finishing up my last year of soccer back in Okinawa before moving to North Carolina. My team was doing really good during the season. Then, it came time for the championship for my. It had been my second time going to the championship game. I thought we were gonna win, so I decided to try and play like Ronaldo. But later in the game, I found out that I was more like Griezmann. I was missing shots, barely passing, and just going straight in there. During the whole game, I broke down and cried. It was embarrassing. That day, I later learned that there is no "I" in "Team". I still think about that soccer match to this day whenever I'm playing with a soccer ball.

# data[].attributes.body
This was actually recent and I felt like I was too good for one of the teams I was on so I was messing around in a game and I had played 3 games before this and I was in the game the whole time for those three but for this 4th game I messed around cause we were up on them by a bit and I got benched and the game after that I got started the game off on the bench so what I learned is, is that even if you are up by like 10-15 points dint mess around because they could come back and no they didn't come back

While on the other hand if you live a shorter life full of joy, laughter, and happiness, you'll make the years' worth it. One thing I really want to do is go skydiving, I've gone indoor skydiving and it was fun. I want to experience new things and really live.

My relationship with my mom is really strong. I'm usually one of the first people to greet her and talk to for a while even though I have tons of homework because I just have that kind of relationship with her. I guess you could say I'm a "momma's boy". So one time, we had people to our house for game night. I heard most everyone trickling into our house. I would say that I was "too busy". I really wasn't that busy because I was actually playing video games online with a friend. My mom told me to come outside from the room and turn off the game. I asked her if I could have a bit of more time. She said "CJ" which meant that "You should turn it off or else I will embarrass you." I said "ok" with an attitude and she pulled me to the room and had a chat with. After I came back outside, some people were looking at me. I was so embarrassed that I barely spoke that one time. I will never do that again.

The person I picked in my family is my mom. Some people have a super strong relationship with their mother. I wouldn't say I have a super strong relationship because i cant tell my mom everything. She's doing as best as she can she just opened a business that is a running success right now called Rebody. I cant really think about any embarrassing moments except when I get in trouble and she goes to friends. She's like "Girl let my tell you what JB just did" and when I hear that I just know.
