Topic	Are you an ONLY CHILD or do you have SIBLINGS???

Especially if they aren't close in age. You could have cousin or other family members if you want social interaction. Or you can make friends. But you don't "need" siblings for that... It is not a "want", it is a "need". You aren't going to want to make friends if you were never forced to interact with people your age (or in the most severe cases even be able to in the first place). Plus cousins might work, but how often do you actually see your cousins? Once a week? Once a month? Once a year? Siblings you are forced to see daily. Dikitain posted... they are a requirement to being a well adjusted human. They are not. They could help for some people. But most people would be fine without siblings. I don't know why you think they are a requirement... See above. Plus while there are exceptions, the majority of only children I have met are in similar situations to me. The biggest trait tends to be that they are more independent, but with that comes the social issues as well. Dikitain posted... A dozen kids running around a room, screaming. I was only like 4 years old but I still remember taking one look and running back to the car begging my mom to take me home. Even today the sounds of kids screaming make me want to run and hide over 30 years later. That sounds like a probably that doesn't affect most people. I know people who didn't want to go to school, but that was because they wanted to stay with family. Like how some people don't want to move away for college or a job. But I rarely hear about kids not wanting to go to school because of the other kids. Sometimes, I hear that the other kids are the only reason they want to go, though... Semi-unrelated, but you never heard of bullying? I would say "not wanting to get bullied" is a pretty good excuse for a kid not to want to go to school. Back on topic, have you never heard about it because it is rare or have you never heard about it because people are too insulated/ashamed to talk about it? --- I am a senior software engineer.
