Growing Up With Older Brothers

Means they'll end up being your biggest role model

Growing Up With Older Brothers
Leah Doty

Growing up with older brothers is responsible for why girls grow up to be who they are. It's the reason why they are a little bit of a tomboy and like some more unconventional things such as climbing and getting a little dirty. And it's the reason why they work so hard.

Growing up with older brothers means getting oversized t-shirts as hammy downs, and almost never getting pants...unless they are sweatpants.

Growing up with older brothers means getting pushed around a little. Between getting pushed off bunk beds and getting told that you can't hang out with them. Being a little sister is the constant struggle of wanting to hang out, but being too young to understand why you shouldn't be around.


On the other hand, growing up with older brothers means someone will always have your back. Whether it's a guy who breaks your heart, or a school assignment that has you stuck. They'll always be there to help you and pick you back up when you are down.

Not to mention you'll get the best piggy back rides on earth.


Growing up with older brothers means learning through their mistakes, but mainly from their achievements. The advice they give you is more meaningful than any other person in the world, simply because your best interest is always on their mind.

Growing up with older brothers makes you want to be strong and independent. You don't want to fall under the stereotypes that are thrown at girls starting at such a young age.

Growing up with older brothers means you'll grow up with your biggest heroes.

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

cousins

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
