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.

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.
