7 Things That Only Girls with Older Brothers Will Understand

Every girl that grows up with older brother(s) understand what it's like to have a brother in the household on daily bases. Even though her brother(s) may have or are still are giving her a hard time, it is simply because of the duties and standards that an older brother upholds. Here are seven things for only girls that grew up with older brothers will understand

1. When you bring a boy home, you better make sure he is a good one.


2. You now have a new body guard

It doesn’t matter how old you are or your maturity level, your older brothers will still be the first to judge when you bring a boy home. This isn’t always bad, but it might scare them off. Your older brothers will be one of the first ones to run any boy off that he doesn’t like. Therefore, if you’re bringing a boy home, make sure he is one that will get your brothers approval.



Going out in any public place means that your older brother will be your protector. He will make sure that no one messes with his “little sister” and anyone who tries to, he will be the first to say something or take action.

3. His girlfriend becomes your friend.

He doesn’t need your approval on his girlfriend, so if he brings a girl home, you are most likely ordered to be nice to her and leave them alone when they’re together.

4. You learn how boys' minds operate.


This isn’t 100 percent true but for the most part it is, you’ll never fully understand how a male’s mind operates but… Mainly, if you have older brothers, you will over hear your brother talking about the girl walking down isle two in the grocery store or see him “checking her out.” Now you quickly learn how boy’s minds operate due to your older brother. Which is an advantage to you because now you know what boys are thinking when they stare at you. You also become better at catching other boys “checking you out” which makes it real awkward for them.

5. You are tougher than most girls.


If you have an older brother, you are probably tougher than most females. Growing up with an older brother means getting put into a head lock or getting pelted anything from a tennis ball to an air-soft gun. Typically, you will tend to be tougher than the girl without brothers.

6. You will attend their sporting events.


If you have an older brother, you will generally always find yourself at their sporting events whether you like it or not. Your parents will make you go to their games, but hey that’s just an extra fan in the crowd for them.. Your brother can thank you later but for now, you're welcome.

7. They will be one of your biggest supporters.


No matter what they did to you when you were younger or how bad they picked on you, they love you and will always be there for you. You will always be their little sister and anything you need they have your back. At the end of the day they know that you love them as much as they love you and no matter what happens, they will be your biggest supporters and cheer you on in anything you do.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
