As a "third", Ender faced permanent disgrace and has brought shame to his family. "Thirds" were not very respected because there was a strict two child policy: one boy and one girl. But in some special cases, the government granted a family to have a third child. The reason Ender's family was allowed to have him is because their two other children, Peter and Valentine, lacked the qualities the I.F. needed in their soldiers and they wanted to see if he would possess them.

Why is ender called third?
Ender is nicknamed "Third" because he is the youngest child in his family, and in the military school he attends, students are often referred to by their position in their family. As the third child, Ender is known as "Third" to distinguish him from the other students.
What is the term a third referring to in the book Ender's Game?
In the Sci-Fi novel, parents are only allowed one child (to find the right sort of children to take part in the Battle School training program), except in special circumstances; Ender's parents had Peter, who was monitered until he was twelve, but Peter proved to be much to viiolent and sadistic (hence him staking a squirrel to the ground and waiting for it to die...). Because of this, Ender's parents were allowed another child; Valentine. Valentine was not at all like Peter, and in fact, she was too nice, and too loving to be turned into a soldier or commander. So because of this, Ender's parents were allowed a 'third', and Ender of course proved to be the perfect balance between Peter and Valentine. Being a third would be vary rare, and as the book states, Ender was the only 'third' in his school. Human nature being what it is, Ender was targeted for being different to the other students, and was bullied. Hope this helps

Is Ender's Game being a third positive or negative?
Overall, Ender's status as a third child is considered negative by society. "Third" children are usually looked down upon. Population control laws benefit families that only have two children or less. It is clear in the first chapter that Ender's peers also ostracize him for being a third. What separates Ender from most third children is that the government specifically requested that he be born after the potential of his two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, so that he could ultimately attend battle school and eventually lead Earth in the Formic Wars.
