Having a little sister is both a blessing and a curse, and I was lucky enough to get two. Being the oldest is great because you're the leader of the bunch, and you have little minions that look up to you. It's great when you're younger because they follow you around and do whatever you say, but it's different when you all start to grow up. As you get older, they stop following you around, and start stealing your clothes and giving you attitude. It's not all bad though. As you all grow up, you start to respect each other more and your bond as sisters becomes so much stronger. No matter what, I will always cherish and appreciate my little sisters and so should you. Here are 18 reasons you need to thank your little sister right now.

1. For giving my old clothes a new home.

2. For telling me like it is, even when I don't want to hear it.

3. For helping me avoid making mistakes.

4. And for justifying them when I do.

5. For always covering for me.

6. For keeping my secrets.

7. For being there at my worst moments.

8. For being there when no one else is.

9. For never holding a grudge.

10. For being my personal cheerleader.

11. For always knowing when something's wrong.

12. For always making time for me.

13. For doing my hair/make up/etc. whenever I'm too lazy to do it myself.

14. For being DTE (down to eat) 100 percent of the time.

15. For giving me the confidence I didn't think I had.

16. For always being my emergency "plus one."

17. For always agreeing to take pictures with me.

18. And for being the best friend a girl could have.

You hold all the qualities of a best friend, but you're stuck with me forever.
