Growing up, having an older sister absolutely sucks, especially if you’re the younger brother. It’s the worst sibling relationship to have in my opinion. Older sisters are whiney and domineering. Thankfully though, being a guy, I became strong enough to beat her up for all the times she picked on me when I was smaller.
I realize that sounds bad… I didn’t REALLY “beat her up.” Relax, no need to call the cops!
Further to my previous comment, if anyone is watching “Dr. Phil” today about sibling abuse, you will see a prime example of an evil older sister vs. innocent younger brother relationship. That red-head girl seems like an absolute menace! I feel that boy’s pain. Older sisters are pure evil, plain and simple. Dr. Phil warned her about what might happen in the future, with the younger brother becoming either completely emasculated and weak, basically a doormat, or becoming aggressive and lashing out his pent-up rage at her and other people. All this thanks to an evil older sister.
Yet another example: Stan and Shelley Marsh on South Park.
