Having a Sister Improves Mental Health

Science & Technology Science & Nature

Brigham Young University shows that positive sibling relationships — particularly sisters — have lasting positive effects on mental health and can even help fend off depression. The close bonds encourage traits like kindness and generosity, shaping a positive future. And their findings seem to span all sets of siblings, no matter the age gap.

Re: Having a Sister Improves Mental Health

Will be showing it to my sister tomorrow as well…thought it would be evil of me to ring her up in the wee hours of the morning to gloat…:stuck_out_tongue:

Wait, she can say the same to me though, can’t she…maybe i’ll just stick to irritating my brother :smiley:

T dude, the study broadly talks about positive sibling relationships…you have brothers? I’m sure they’ve contributed positively to your life, non? :smiley:

Unless you’re an einzelkind…:bummer:

Due to my past bad experience with these “moun boli” sisters i don’t believe in this thing anymore. The only relations are those which are blood relation and there is nothing like moun boli behan, bhai, maan or baap .. :slight_smile:

Dude, u literally have no idea what “a sister” mean .. .. u have it thats why you said. Yeah, I have my elder bro - he is the best .. but

  • I can never have that fun which a bro-sis have .. fighting with each other and still loving each crazily
  • I can never have someone about who i can act as ultimate guardian .. ..
  • I can never cry on someone’s wedding (sounds bizarre .. but it seems cute to me)
  • I can share all the latest gizmo/gadget stuff with bro .. but i can’t share the girlfriend thingy :blush: .. u know ..
  • Study also has proved that Girls are way better listeners than Boys .. so having a brother would not efffect than having a sister

Oh man - there are countless things i can write on and on .. .. I used to tell me friends that i miss “A sisters love” in my personality and they used to say .. “you are being over sensitive” (which is kind a true .. I am at this topic) .. .. but now this study clearly tells .. .. ..

Re: Having a Sister Improves Mental Health

yes definitely

those who grow up with sisters till teenage usually have successful marriages later.

they understand woman nature well. Youngest boys among family suffer more.

Awww you’re so sweet! :hugz: It made me all :naak: I’m gonna give my brother a hug right now…as his younger sister i shouldn’t be so mean to him :frowning:

Re: Having a Sister Improves Mental Health

:naak: i have 2 sisters and yet i am retarded.

I think it depends too, you don't need all the above with a sister, I have cousins, and they're like my sisters. And I easily do the above with them too!

Re: Having a Sister Improves Mental Health

Re: Having a Sister Improves Mental Health

Awwwwww…Bot!!! ur so sweet!!!

I am the only child…I wish I had a big bro toooooooooooooooooo :frowning: :hinna:

I always look at all my friends who have brothers and sisters..they are sooooo lucky!!!

But it is true about guys who have sisters…they are more patient..and they understand girls very well…I have seen that…and they are also more sensitive and know how to show care.

18

I disagree on this thing when it comes to me .. .. i already wrotet somewhere in the forum that whatever -ve things i had i din let them in my personality. I realized that i am lacking those things so developed them in my personality .. .. i understand girls .. i show care .. but only if “someone” is special .. otherwise .. :stuck_out_tongue: . no!
