Compulsory Writing: Only Children

Only children are different from children who have siblings. The fact that they do not have brothers or sisters makes them develop a different personality. Furthermore, this situation leads them to have problems to socialise. Only children are more prone to isolate themselves from other people since this affects the way they are raised.

The developing of their personality starts at home. This is the place where they spent the most of their time. They play, eat, talk and watch TV in their houses. But they do all that by themselves, since they do not have someone to share their experiencies with. In adittion, they only communicate with their parents in an envorment they feel safe and confident and where they know they are not going to be judged. The problem starts when they get used to that and then they have to communicate with unknown people.

Socially, only children have more problems than children who have siblings. When the time to make friends comes to their lifes, they do not feel confident anymore. They go out of their comfort zone and that makes them feel defenseless. Furthermore, they feel judged by people they do not know. That is what makes them want to be alone. They feel more comfortable when they have nobody around because that is what they are used to. So, they think they would rather be alone than being judged and rejected.

All those situations could make them develop a different personality. They can became possesive over things since they have not shared anything in their lifes. Everything they recieve is for them and for nobody else because they have none to share their things with. Moreover, they recieve their parents whole attetion which could leads them to became arrogants or even narcisists. Giving an excessive attetion to them could make them feel they are the only ones who deserves attention.

Overall, only childs usually have more problems to socialise with other people. Being raised with no siblings makes their personality different. They usually end up with personality problems as they could became arrogant. Having nobody to share their experiencies with makes only children more prone to isolate themselves. That is why many people recommend to have more than one child in order to make their social life better.
