Being the youngest sibling is a blessing and a curse. People always think you get whatever you want or never get in trouble, which is false. We might be forgotten or compared to the other siblings and that kind of sucks. Youngest siblings aren't all the same, but we definitely know the struggles and triumphs of being the youngest.
1. Being called the baby even though you're in college.
Yea, I know I'm the youngest, but I haven't been a baby for at least a few years now. I can legally vote and order a margarita and pretty sure a baby can't do that.
2. Being compared to your older siblings is hell.
My sister is smarter than me, I know. My brother can run a lot faster than me, I know. Please stop comparing me to them. I am my own person.
3. We are kinda naive.
Your siblings say jump and you're already jumping. This got you in trouble when you were younger, and probably still getting in trouble.
4. You basically had your own secret service.
Thanks for beating kids up for me when they spit in my hair or called me four eyes.
5. Teachers know your last name very well.
They always ask if you're going to be good like the other sibling or bad like the other. Uh, I'm probably gonna be me, but let's see.
6. "You must be the favorite"
You must be joking. Being the youngest DOES NOT mean I am the favorite. And there are favorites, but I can assure you it is not always the youngest.
7. We have great imaginations.
My siblings are pretty far in age, so while they were out with their friends, I had to create my own fun. So, we get to learn to be really creative and innovative.
8. "You probably learned from your siblings mistakes"
Eh, probably not. I'm still maybegoing to make the same mistakes, but they are my own.
9. The dreaded "when you're older..."
No, how about now?
10. "Santa isn't real"
Thank you for ruining my life, Satan.
11. Learning how to fight for your life.
This is especially true if you have older brothers. You had to learn how to fight or cry really loud and sometimes both.
12. Having best friends for life.
Who are, but you won't tell them this, wiser and almost always have your best intentions at heart.
Siblings are great and I know even though being the youngest can be quite annoying, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
