Younger children also often complain of being bullied. Rishi Gupta is the youngest of three siblings. My older brother and sister were always kicking me out of the room and leaving me out of their games. But it is a different situation when it comes to his relationship with adults in the family. The younger child learns how to steal attention from others and make a place for himself in the family.
Middle children share the advantages of both the older siblings as well as the younger ones.
They often become good mediators and negotiators. Gautam Sengupta is the middle child. I wasn't the oldest, so I didn't have to live up to any expectations. I wasn't the youngest, so I wasn't bullied as much. I think I had the best of both worlds.
