Opinion about "being an only child" In my opinion being an only child, has the advantages that, you don´t have to look after your brothers or sisters, you don´t have problems with your younger brother crying at night, but having brothers or sister it has a lot of advantages if they are older than you, because they can teach you things about live, and help with your studies or when you have any problem they can help you. So in conclusion it depends on your position in the family, maybe if you are the oldest brother that is a disadvantage to have brothers, but if you are the youngest brother you could have a big advantage. I´ve never had brothers and I´m doing well alone, but maybe in some moments of my life, it would have been good for me have a brother.
