"You should never compare yourself with your siblings... You are special in your own way.
However, you cannot let those negative thoughts bring you down. You are the second child of the family, not the first, and not the last. Therefore, never force yourself to be like them. The first child may be better than you in everything, however that is natural because he is older than you. Don't let it get to you when people compare you with your brothers and sisters. You should never compare youself with your siblings. You have your own place in the family, you are the second child, and you are special in your own way. Yes at some moments you may feel that your parents treat you differently compared to your siblings. Espacially if you have a older brother who excells in everything he does. That must be frustrating. However never think that you are loved and cared less than him. No matter what it looks like in your head, your parents love and respect you and your brothers and sisters equally. That's the reality, they will always love you. This is something you could remember if you feel neglected in your family.
For Siblings & Friends
If you are the brother or sister of the second child, you are also very important. You also have a important job to do. Let's say that the second child is your brother. As the sibling, you should always try to be supportive towards him. I know this sounds very hard because siblings always fight with each other, You will always have fights with your brother. But for his sake, you should be more understanding with him. You should never try to make your brother "the second you". Never compare yourself with your brother. He will never be like you because every human being is different. However that doesn't mean you should ignore him and make him feel more neglected. As the sibling, support and hear his thoughts out because who knows, your relationship with him might end up stronger than you would ever imagine.

The same thing applies for friends. As the friends of the second child, you should always be supportive towards him, and always be by his side. For example if the seconc child has a extraordinary talent in basketball, make sure that you as the friends encourage him to excell in that talent. Second children needs the encouragement and the push to reach their full potential, and part of that job belongs to you. You should also never compare the second child with their siblings because that will just ruin their mood. Remember to always accept him for who he is.
