1. Your parents have already gone through punishing your siblings so they get tired when it comes to you.

Let’s be honest here, there are some things that you should get in trouble for, but you don’t. You may even do something your siblings got in such trouble for, but when it comes to your parents yelling at you, you're just let off with a warning. They’re just too tired to keep yelling about the same thing.

2. You’re kind of spoiled because you’re the last one and they aren't exactly ready to let go... And in my case you're the only girl.

You’re allowed to go out with friends, have sleepovers, and basically get whatever you ask for. Sometimes you may be questioned a little more because your parents don't want to see you leave the nest so soon. Even though your parents let you go whatever and do whatever there are some limitations and they do want to know who you’ll be with and where it is you’re going because they care and once again you are the youngest.

3. You get great advice from your siblings because they’ve gone through everything before you have.

Whether it's a fight with your friends or needing advice about a boy your siblings are always there if you need them. Your siblings are there to help you figure out what to say to someone who’s been talking about you or to help you get out of a class. They tell you what they did when they went through what you’re going through and you learn from them.

4. Being the only girl you get all new things because who would want you to wear hand-me-downs from your brothers?

Your toys, bed themes, and clothes are all knew because a girl usually doesn't play or wear things that her brothers would. You never had to have the experience where your shirt was way too long because your brother is taller than you or have a school picture where your brother is wearing the same shirt in his from a few years back because you get brand new clothes with sparkles and all. Also your toys aren't GI Joes or Pokemon because you get to have Barbie and Polly Pockets, but sometimes it is nice to have a GI Joe to go with your Barbie.

5. You have tons of protection from not only your parents, but your older siblings as well.

It doesn't matter if it is something happening on social media, at school, or in the public. Your family is always there to protect you because they’re our family and that’s what they do. Your siblings always backed you up and still do. Your parents and siblings will always watch over you to make sure you’re doing okay. In anything you do you will always have them behind you.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
