When unexpected moments come up and life gets challenging, there’s always that one person you can go to for guidance, your older sister. Regardless of what you’re dealing with, your sister knows exactly how to help you make things better. Even though you may not realize it, they have so much knowledge on just about everything you’re going through to provide you with the best advice. Although the list could go on forever, here are a few things we’ve learned from our older sisters.

1. How to convince your parents

After watching your sister trying to get what she wants, you’ve either learned what works and what doesn’t with your parents.

2. How to share

You guys have shared a room, food, clothes, friends, the television remote, and so much more. Whether you realized it or not, you’ve become a master in the art of sharing with the help of your sister.

3. Relationships come and go

Whether it’s the end of friendship or a serious relationship, your sister is the person you can turn to. They’ve most likely gone through a similar situation and with their help, you’ve realized how silly it is to get so worked up about a boy or a toxic friendship.

4. How to keep going

You’ve watched your sister go through it all: the heartbreaks, the stress, friendship drama, and so much more. If there’s one thing to learn from it all, it’s to keep moving forward with it all. Learn from these challenging times that your sister goes through and realize that even if something gets tough, you’ve got to keep moving on.

5. Family will always support you

Regardless of what happens throughout life, your older sister will always support you through it all. Whether you need help making a college decision or choosing an outfit to wear to an event, they have always given you the knowledge to make the right choice.

At the end of the day, take the time to appreciate your older sister.They've stuck with you through it all and without them, you could not have become the person you are today
