Do you have a sister?Sure,you may share your sister's hair?pulling,fight over toys and schoolyard dramas(剧本)when you were kids,but even so,you probably know how lucky you are to have her in your life.Lots of studies tell us this: having a sister makes you happier.

One of the studies found that people who had at least one sister were able to deal with problems and communicate with others better.For example,when their parents say “goodbye” to each other,there were lots of bad effects on their children.If he/she has a sister,she often provides much ?needed help.She can look after her younger brother or sister.

So why do sisters make us happier?Women would like to talk about their emotions and lives more than men do.And when you grow up in an environment in which you're encouraged to say your problems and fears,you're likely to be better adjusted than someone raised in a boys?only family.

Lots of people grow up to be well? adjusted even without a sister.But if you've got one, give her a hug—she may help you become a happy person.
