I think the thinking on onlies is changing with time.
My son gets lonely sometimes. He has trouble with teasing and unkindnesses that many kids can shake off. And he's a bit "adult" for his age. But he has plenty of friends, many of whom are also "onlies". It's not so unusual any more, with many parents waiting until they're older to have kids.
I was both for a while, since I was older when my brother was adopted. I can't say having siblings was easier or better than not having them.
