There's nothing like the relationship between sisters. They laugh with you, cry with you, and sometimes make you want to pull your hair out, but ultimately they're your true best friend. Here are few things that big sisters give to their little sisters:
1. Old school work and SAT/ACT help
Note to all younger sisters: Make your older sister save all of her old AP work so for you it will be a breeze.2. Hand-me-downs
Older sisters can give their little sisters all of their old clothes--but this doesn't stop them from going into the older sister's closet to steal her new ones.
3. Competition
The fight over who the favorite daughter is lives on. Sisters are constantly in competition with one another but it keeps things interesting.
4. A shoulder to cry on
When you have a sister, you almost always have someone who understands you and will be there for you in a time of need.
5. ...And a punching bag
Of course, sisters fight, and they often take out completely unrelated anger or stress on one another. Or, one just made a really rude comment and World War III breaks out.
6. Friend advice
An older sister is the best person to help you figure out who your real friends are, and who are not. They've been through it all when it comes to friendships.
7. Boy advice
Older sisters want the best for their younger sisters, especially when it comes to guys. Sisters are there for all of the breakups and broken hearts.
8. Parent advice
The older sister is the guinea pig for everything when it comes to what makes parents happy and what makes them mad, and they can pass this knowledge on.
9. Outfit advice
Your sister is one of the only people in the world who will be 100% brutally honest when you ask her if these pants make you look fat.
10. Makeup advice
Older sisters didn't have anyone to tell them that sparkly blue eyeshadow is not okay to wear on your first day of high school.
11. Instagram advice
Me and my sister's text message conversations consist of little conversation and a lot of pictures sent back and forth captioned "Which one?"
12. Funny stories
Especially true for pairs of sisters in which one goes to college, older sisters can bring back hilarious (and often embarrassing) stories to entertain their little sister with.
13. A best friend
An older sister is a built-in best friend for life.
