Hooray for Sisters!
According to a recent study published by the University of Ulster, having a sister increases your odds of being happy and well adjusted. Researchers quizzed 571 people aged 17 to 25 about their lives and found those who grew up with sisters were more likely to be happy and balanced. They said the influence of girls was particularly important after distressing family events such as marital break-ups.
