Are step sisters and step brothers easier to get along with than blood relatives

Growing up my brothers and I were pretty close and enjoyed hanging out with each other. But, by the time we hit our teens, all of us got our own life and really didn't like hanging around each other anymore. In fact, we rarely got along. It was really difficult sometimes even being around them.
And, I always wondered if it would have been easier dealing with a step brother. Do you think it would be easier to deal with a step sibling than a brother or sister that you are actually related to?

This can be the case in some situations as each person is different so if you don't get along with your brothers today it is possible you would get along with a step brother as he would have a different personality and would not have lived the same life as you and your brothers . I have one sister , two half brother , two step sisters and one step brother and honestly get along with both of my step sisters the best .

I say blood is stronger then anything. My brother and I use to fight all the time when we were growing up and I got along with my step sister so well. Then she graduated and moved out and became jealous of both my brother and I. Which I still can't figure out why because she is the one who got the 2 cars out of my mom and stepdad and we didn't get any kind of car. Now a days my brother and I are really close and he would do anything for me. He use to bring me stuff to eat when I was pregnant hehe. As far as my step sister we asked my mom not to even do Christmas with her this year the sametime she does it with us. Just the way she acts when shes around us. Makes me sick. Nice topic

I think it's normal to fight with anyone you live with when you are a teenager. Whether it's a real sibling, a half sibling, or a step sibling.
I don't have step siblings. And my half siblings were 11 and 12 when I was born. I wasn't ever close enough to them to really fight with them. When they were going through their moody teenage years, I was just a preschooler, so they didn't fight with me. They didn't live with us most of the time, though.
I did fight a lot with my sisters when I was growing up. But now my little sister is my best friend, besides my husband. I only talk to my half sisters 5 or 6 times a year probably. I talk to my real sister that many times a week!

teenage is a time when most of us explore who we our, out identity. we seek for new avenues of experience. when we were kids we enjoy playing with our siblings but time comes when we choose to add other and different characters in our personal story book. That's how we broaden the horizon of our life's perspective. good day.
