It doesn’t matter if you’re a guy or a girl, having a brother is one of the best things ever. Girls look to their big brothers as protectors and to their little brothers as incorruptible little angels. Guys who have brothers usually consider them among their closest friends. It’s a beneficial relationship for everyone involved.
Whatever your particular family make-up might be, your brother is a crucial part of that family unit. Here are just a few reasons why your brother is pretty much the best guy you could ever know.
15. His friends usually end up becoming your friends too.
They come over to the house all the time and eat all the food your mom cooks, so it’s like they’re your brothers, as well.
14. You can be yourself with him.
Goofy, gross, or downright weird, it doesn’t matter. Your brother knows you better than most people in the world, so nothing you do could possibly shock him.
13. Being competitive with him forces you to be better.
This competitive nature is exceptionally strong if you’re a guy too, but even if you’re a girl, there’s always a little bit of competition between siblings. That’s okay, though, because it keeps you on your toes.
12. Growing up with him also forced you to develop a thick skin.
You were called every name in the book, beat up more times than you can count, and probably given more wedgies than you care to recall. All of that helped turn you into the strong, functional adult you are now. Thanks, bro.
11. He’s your partner in crime for life.
You’ll be making mischief together until the day you die.
