Crime, drugs, and the spread of STDs, to name a couple.

But finally we rank #1, and I can't be prouder!! Share this with yours!

78% of Alabama residents say they "love" their brother or sister.

Go west, young man!

OREGON hates their siblings. OK, MAYBE that is a bit harsh.

However, only 20% of those folks use the word "love" to describe how they feel about brothers and sisters.

Now that is just plain sad.

Here is another interesting fact that came from this study:

  • More than a third of adults report a feeling of rivalry or jealousy between siblings during childhood.

Here are the Top 3 states with the best sibling relationships:

  • Alabama
  • Massachusetts
  • Kentucky

Another interesting fact that came out of this study:

Having siblings may lower the risk of divorce as an adult by 2% for each sibling, up to seven siblings.

What is wrong with these people in Oregon?
