having older brothers to look up to is something that I have always been grateful for. In comparison with Lyon I believe that siblings are each other first friends.

Also another similarity is that we both believe that older siblings inspire the younger ones to be different from them (Lyon, 2009, para 9). Both the author and I value that siblings are the people that turlu shape our lives. My mom 's oldest child (my dad 's third child) Dontreze always remind me to make better decisions than he did. During Dontreze senior year he was home-bound because of behavioral issues, and he is always on me about school to make sure I succeed. Next, "children who grow up with an opposite –sex siblings can be incredibly advantage" (Lyon, 2009, para 11). The author and I agree on this claim because I feel as if I do have an advantage because of my older brothers. Growing up around them I realized a lot about boys my friends with brothers didn 't know at the time. Like how they actually act when girls weren 't around, and how they talked about girls. They gave me tips on what and what not to do, and how I deserved to be treated.
