There are several Research which suggests that individuals who are born in the summer are less likely to go on to higher education and they are more likely to achieve low in terms of academic performance. Apparently Summer born's are also more prone to suffer from SEN (Special education needs). How many of you agree to this statement? Are summer born's really at a disadvantage in terms of academic achievements? Or is this all Crap? I for one i'm a summer born and I'm currently in my second year at Uni, Must be some miracle eh? lol. Any thoughts regarding this?

^^ In relation to your point, i am a summer born myself, hence when i first read a research article based on this specifically i was shocked and and not to say in a state of wanting to laugh out loud. I'm not forcing you to open a tap and go on to Google and put your researching skills to test lol i'm just pointing out that regardless of how bizarre and outrageous it may sound, research has been done on this. But then again it depends on where you are from. I live in England and most of the results and findings have come from statistics and government documents in England. I'm doing a paper on this topic at Uni and i cannot seem to find anything against this statement. I have collected several papers supporting the argument but non against, and its really disturbing to know that there aren't any research suggesting that the statements is false, and that it does not imply to everyone because i know so many people that are summer born's and are at Uni, some have even graduated and gone into Good Employment. But yeah it Ridiculous isn't it! ? 😆

I am August born.. No wonder im so DUMB but still got accepted in Uni, survived passed and got accepted on masters now 😆!

Listen up Winter born - Research, shows you guys are more Bigger, Brighter and more Successful! WOOHH CONGRATULATIONS!

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/babies-born-in-winter-are-bigger-brighter-and-more-successful-523070.html

Oh and btw, i feel sorry for all the April Born, Poor Kids born in April, are most likely to develop wide range of diseases... TO ALL THE FERTILE WOMEN! please plan your pregnancy according to this research, and July is the worst time to fall pregnant in, as that means your child will be born in April ( Following the baby is born on time) and will be most likely to develop wide range of illness... Please try to get pregnant start of the year so you have higher chances of giving birth to a WINTER BABY.

Guys, please leave the OP alone!

OP, please ignore the naysayers and please please share more information. This is so far the most interesting topic I have come across.

I would love to see some of your research on research on people born in other seasons too.
