Take it from a middle child; being a middle child sucks. You have neither the responsibility that comes with being the oldest nor the luxury that comes with being the baby. You have N O T H I N G. No label. No identity. Not to mention my fellow middle child, Nicola, was the only girl in the family. See! Nothing! You're the in-between child, squeezed into the order of things. You're the Idaho to New York and Los Angeles. You're the regular-sized cup in between the large and small. (I actually like a good medium-sized drink, to be quite honest, but you get the point.).

About This Quote

This quote is in reference to the in-betweenness in things. The in-betweenness in people's relationship with one another. The in-betweenness of being a teenager. The in-betweenness of being the middle child in a family.

Being the middle child can be like being an odd duck, unable to feel like you fit in with the family and having to go out of your way to get noticed. This can be very frustrating and cause people to get frustrated easily.
