Time and time again, I've heard the pleas and felt the sadness of middle children. I just feel I should spare this bit of advice. I know exactly how you feel. I'm a middle child too. To be honest, I've always felt out of place even in my own family and "different" from the other 2. This is called the Middle Child Syndrome. It's something I've never gotten over...It was worse in my teen years, I did alot of things to get attention; run away from home, smoke, bad company, etc. I'm 20 years old now and to be honest, the "middle child syndrome" has never quite left me. But I've learnt to live with it. You will too. It's easier to accept the things you cannot change then to fight it. Parents in general, love their children equally. However, each child is given different treatment whether they care to admit it or not. Often, the middle child is "neglected" in the area of attention.
