Spoiled brat, selfish, and socially awkward are just a few of the negative stereotypes I have been called when I mention I am an only child. They appear in everyday conversations and even in interviews as a get-to-know-you question.
In elementary school, the phrase, “Treat others the way you want to be treated,” is instilled in young minds. This positive formulation encourages proactive kindness, service, and engagement. It’s also a universal concept in human thought.
