My opinions about being an only child.

During the past few years, the discussion about being an only child was becoming more more popular in modern society. 

Some people hold a view that in modern society there is no alternative but to have the only child. For one thing, under the economic pressures many families can't afford to bring up more than one child. For another thing, it's very hard to handle the relationships between the children, and it will be more beneficial to the child's growth if parents' attention only focuses on a child.

Nevertheless, from another perspective, the social situation that a family have only one child gives raise to various problems. The common problems of those children are self-interest, self-concern and disrespectful. 

From the point of my view, we are supposed to hold a rational attitude towards the issue, since there are both advantages and disadvantages of being an only child.
