I was definitely closer with my sister. She is younger than me. I have one older brother, whom I love dearly. It was just natural for us to be closer though. Growing up, she looked to me for advice.
We also shared a lot. We had our own rooms but shared a bathroom. So, just daily routine type of things like getting ready for school or whatever, we were always around each other.
Even in our free time, we spent a lot of it just the two of us. My brother was often off with friends because he was older. So, with the two of us at home more alone, more than with our brother around, it was easy to bond.
Now, that doesn't mean we were not close to our brother. We were. Our whole family is quite close. It is just that my sister and I were a bit closer. If I had to point to one thing, it was probably just the normal girls growing up part that made us close.
She would come to me for questions and advice because she was comfortable. I think that is what brought us closest. Now, I get to watch her go off to med school, all grown up.

I wish I’d had brothers, so I went out and found my own. Grew up with a large group of all male friends. I do have a sister, but everyone has a hard time getting along with her.
What Girls Said
I have a younger brother who is 11. We are surprisingly close and we get along great. My younger sister is 9 and she is my little mini-me. I suppose it is about equal between them.
Up until about a year ago I only close with my little sister not my little brother. My sister and me were kinda mean to him. Now I'm close with both of them.
