I really wish I had a sister!

Q :

I have three brothers and I really just wish I had a sister. I’m not a tomboy and I feel like I don’t have a sibling to relate to. Whenever we go out, they hang together and I feel left out. Not to mention, they never invite me to be a part of the fun stuff they do together. Help! — Kelly Anne, 12

A:

Natasha: Kelly Anne, let me just tell you, I relate to you so much. I have two younger brothers who are close in age to me and I would always feel left out because they did not want a girl, especially their sister, to be a part of their plans. Don’t feel discouraged. There are always gonna be perks to not having a sister, and there will always be down sides. Enjoy your brothers and just try to make an effort to be a part of whatever they do! You can always hang out with your mom, too — that’s what I end up doing most of the time. ;)
