Have you ever fought like cats and dogs with your brothers or sisters? In fact, it makes you healthier.
Having a younger sibling might help control weight. A university study finds that it's easier for children with a sibling to keep a healthy weight. Weight problems can last a lifetime, so having a younger brother or sister might well be worth it.
Having brothers and sisters also makes you kind. The same research, which looked at 395 families, found that children with siblings did more good things. ▲
What's more, brothers and sisters increase your chance of a happy relationship with your future husband or wife. In fact, the more siblings you have, the higher the chance of a happy marriage you have. Researchers believe that having other kids in your family makes you better at dealing with difficult situations in close relationships.
Siblings can help you develop healthy living habits. A survey of more than 15,000 people found that almost half of people said their family and friends had the biggest influence on their health. Brothers and sisters set examples for each other in fitness and healthy eating.
So many advantages lie with the ones in your daily fight. But what if we don't have brothers or sisters? Don't worry. Research also shows that having close friends can be as helpful. So make friends by joining school groups and finding people who enjoy the same things as you.
