Nowadays, most students born between 1978 and 1990 are the only child of their families. I am one of them. Personally speaking, I do not want to be the only child of my family.
The reason why I am unwilling to be the only child is quite obvious. I always feel lonely and helpless. I have ever discussed it with my classmates and they have got the same feelings as me. When school is over, we go back home and have no one to talk with, for parents are busy with their jobs or house chores. Even when they have leisure time, due to the generation gap, we find we have nothing in common. On our way to adults, we have met a lot of trouble on which we linger and ponder. If each of us has an elder brother or sister, we can consult him or her. Of course, brothers and sisters are not always under an atmosphere of cooperation. Sometimes they quarrel; sometimes they argue; sometimes they compromise. Being not the only child in the family offers us early experiences of getting along with each other. The feeling of loneliness delays our ability to cope with others, because most of our childhood, we stay alone more than stay with others.
We all hope to have a sibling to release ourselves from the trouble above. Probably, when we grow mature and find we can substitute a sibling with friends, cousins or hobbies, we will not feel lonely any longer.
