What Happens When You Have A Sister Close To Your Age

If you grew up with a sister close to your age, you probably can relate to a few of these. Here are some scenarios as told by the older sister and the younger sister.

People always debate who is older.

Whether she put lipstick on for the first time or got a push-up bra, at some point someone thought the younger sister was the oldest.

Younger sister: Why yes, I AM older!

Older sister: Did you really just refer to me as "so-and-so's YOUNGER sister?"

Your friends are her friends.

Whether you like it or not, your friends have developed a bond with your sibling.

Younger sister: I cannot wait to hang out with our friends!

Older sister: I cannot believe my mom is making me invite her again.

You pretty much share closets.

It is a blessing and a curse. R.I.P. to all of your missing articles of clothing.

Younger sister: Her closet is my closet, I'm sure she won't mind if I just take these six shirts for the weekend.

Older sister: Why does she take ALL of my clothes. She was so cute and innocent when they brought her home from the hospital, what happened.

You learned to forgive...quickly.

You can get away with saying anything to each other. You've learned to forgive and forget.


Younger sister: You are being such a brat!

Older sister: You're one to talk... Lets go get food.

Your punishments varied.

The oldest sister more than likely roughened up your parents before the youngest got to them.


Younger sister: I can't believe mom is making me clean my room since I snuck out.

Older Sister: Really...I got grounded for a month and got my phone taken away when I did that.


You went through awkward stages together.

If one of you got hideous bangs with a new jumper, you bet the other sister did too!

Younger sister: Yay, we get to match!

Older sister: Mom, put the camera down.

You'd be lost without her.


At the end of the day, she's still your built-in-bestie. No matter how many times you fought that day, you don't know what you would do without her.

Younger sister: What would I do without your weird self?

Older sister: Probably be bored and have no clothes.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
