female students. A total of 317 students participated. The study had 51.7% males and 48.3% females. Further,
21.5% were first borns, 58% middle and 20.5% were last borns. Study tools included the questionnaire. The
study established a statistically significant relationship between birth order and conduct disorders (p= .000) at
the df =2. Birth order and conduct disorder was found to be probably the most important aspects of life. Birth
order, specifically being a last born renders one to be more susceptible to conduct disorders compared to being
the first born or middle born. Self-awareness program dealing with conduct disorder symptom and health seek
ing behavior should be promoted in schools.
