V. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being the only child in the family and
why? Write an essay in about 120-150 words to express your ideas. (10.0 pts)

There are advantages and disadvantages to being raised as an only child. One advantage to being
raised as a single child is that you don’t have to compete with brothers and sisters for things. But on
the other hand, it can also be lonely to be the only child in your family. Being a single child can
have its rewards, but it can also have a downside to it.
Being the only child in a family means no competition with other siblings. For example, parents can
devote a lot more time and affection on an only child. They are also able to spend a lot more money
on a single child for things like clothes and toys. Being an only child certainly means that the child
will get more attention and have more things.
However, being the only child in your family means having no one to play with when you're at
home. For example, when you are a single child it means spending a lot of time by yourself when
you're not playing with your family or your friends. It also means not having another person close to
your age to talk to when you're at home. Being raised by yourself can be quite a lonely experience
for a single child.
There are a lot more single child families today than there were in the past. There are many good
things about being raised by yourself such as getting more attention and things. However, it can be a
lonely experience for a child to be raised without siblings. I think being an only child is okay, but I
really think children should have brothers and sisters to grow up with.
