Answer 2

There are many disadvantages to being an only child. First we feel lonely a lot. . Plus if your parents work, you can possibly be home by yourself with no one. Being alone is the main disadvantage. Another thing with my parents is that there REALLY protective. Parents are usually really protective with their children but only child parents are even MORE protective. Any slight thought of danger anywhere you dont get to go. Its crazy sometimes. + there is no-one to bug or play pranks on and stuff

Answer 3

Advantages

· Have their own room

· Don't have to fight for attention from your parents. If you are having a hard time in school, your parents will find the extra help that you need. They may do the same if you have siblings, but there is more of a chance that you will get the help you need.

· Don't have siblings getting you into trouble.

Disadvantages

· Nobody to play with. Can get bored easily.

· Sometimes may not be that social and like being alone. When you are an only child you need to get involved in activities to be around other kids you own age.

· No role models. Usually you spend a lot of time around adults as there is no one else to look up to.
