Birth Order: why we act more than we think

Conduct disorders has been a major issue of discussion both at state and community level. The aim of this book is to enlighten both scholars, community and the state on how birth order leaves unidentified but destructive marks in children which affect them later in development. The author conducted a case study for both male and female students in various schools where juvenile delinquency were rampant. A total of 317 students participated who the author used as a study sample in the area. The study had 51.7% males and 48.3% females. Further, 21.5% were first borns, 58% Middle and 20.5% were last borns. The author establishes a significant relationship between birth order and conduct disorders (p= .000) at the df =2 is established. The author concludes that, birth order and conduct disorder are probably the most important aspects of life. However, birth order, specifically being a last born renders one susceptible to conduct disorders compared to being the first born or middle born. Therefore, Self-awareness program dealing with conduct disorder symptom and health seeking behavior should be promoted in schools.
