Re: First-Born Kids Are Smarter, Says Study
i'm older than my brother by about 3 years. i've done better academically (he's done good too), but he definitely has many other qualities that I admire and need to inculcate within myself

Re: First-Born Kids Are Smarter, Says Study
first borns literally have to pave the way for their younger siblings....we have to jump through so many hurdles, and they have it easy-breezy when they go through the same things!!!
still, YAY for being the oldest-child! ::::smartness:::
