Why Our Little Sisters Are Our Best Friends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winthrop chapter.

Having a sister is one of the biggest blessings in the world. 

You can never imagine how wonderful being a big sister is until it actually happens to you. You never know the impact that your little sister will have on your life until she’s born and you’re sharing a room with her and witnessing all of her firsts.

Being a big sister is an honor. From the moment you’re little sister is born you have this responsibility and duty to teach her everything you can and to help your parents raise her into a beautiful young woman.

Over time you’re little sister will become your best friend, your confidant, your role model and so much more. The time you spend with your little sister will be spent strengthening your relationship and making lifelong memories.

Our little sisters are our best friends for many reasons.

1. They will never judge us

No matter how crazy we are or how weird we act our little sisters will never judge us for acting that way.

 

2. They will always love us

A constant love is built into this relationship because we’re family. They have to love us.

3. They will always have our backs

There is an understood rule that sisters will always stand up for each other, no exceptions.

 

4. They will never share our secrets

You’re younger sister is forced to keep all of your secrets. It doesn’t matter if you tell her to keep it a secret or not, they understand that you tell each other things in confidence.

 

5. They will always tell us the truth

There is no sugar coating between sisters. Whether it’s good or bad, we can always count on our little sisters to be honest with us.

 

6. They will laugh at you and do stupid things with you

Rather than just staring at you like you’re an idiot, your little sister will join in on the silly fun. The more the merrier.

 

7. They will listen to all of your stories

Especially when you go away to college, you’ve got a million and one stories to share with your sister. She will be there to listen to it all. She’ll live vicariously through you and want to grow up to be like you.

 

8. They will be your shoulder to cry on

When your boyfriend breaks up with you or your roommates are fighting with you, your little sister will sit with you and dry your tears during your melt down.

Even though we might not notice it now, one day our little sisters are going to be our best friends and our biggest supporters.  So please don’t take them for granted.

Recognize how truly lucky you are to have a little sister and love them with all of your heart.
