Younger siblings got teased by friends and classmates. They turn to older siblings for advise and older sibs can't help them. And younger siblings get upset. Why do they get upset? There is no reason to get upset at someone when someone can't help you with your problems. Right?

Though a younger sibling would never admit it, they look up to and admire an older sibling.  They also assume that you are more worldly and experienced than they are so you are capable of helping them with all their problems.  They are angry because you destroyed their image of you.  Don't worry, they will get over it.  But, always be honest and tell them the truth, you can't help because you honestly don't know...that it wasn't anything you ever had to face.

I might consider it.  Just because he/she is well, "mental", or in need of serious professional help doesn't mean you can't be the bigger or better person.  Just don't allow your sibling to abuse you.  Those situations can be tricky.  \n\nGood luck, \n\n:) T

Do not let it bother you.  People who bully are having emotional problems themselves.  Adolescence is notorious for this because there are alot of changes both emotionally and physically and adolescents do not deal well with them...they also have major brain changes going on making them not exactly considerate of others.  While not letting it bother you is harder done than said.....remember it will pass.  I do recommend getting a hobby and new friends. Try soccer, or art. Join an after school club maybe.  I do not recommend weight lifting like the other guy said...i know some adult guys with screwed up shoulders from weight lifting too early...and 7th grade is too early.  If it is any consulation....i am now much cooler than those kids that picked on me in middle school...and much happier.  And my school has been totally paid for in college and graduate school.  Life is not over in middle school.

Sounds like your mom was the glue holding the family together.  It's understandable that people would fall away from each other after her passing.  It's hard to go about our daily lives knowing that we should be a familly with ALL the family, people should want to spend time with each other and talk about their lives.  At least your not alone.  My husband and his brother recently got into a huge fight with the two of them wrestling around on the floor and somebody getting hurt.  That was a few months ago, and neither of them has even tried to apologize or be the bigger man and just forgive.  It is very frustrating especially when family functions or birthday parties come along and certain people have to be left out.  It is just not fair sometimes.  Just remember you can't change other people but you can decide that no matter what your siblings do or don't do you can control yourself and your actions, and live your life, they'll either come around or they won't, if they do great, if not, forgive them, and move on.

man up and say your sorry.  don't teach your little sister to accept less and don't let your little brother think it's okay to talk mean to people and not say I'm sorry.  YOu are their role model

I don't know why some of us are like that, I know sometimes I get mad, but we all do. I don't believe that women are not supposed to deal with guys getting mad, they should be able to voice their opinion, but truthfully, sometimes that doesn't solve anything, it makes it worse, and really it depends on the situation. Men are supposed to be the head of the family, the bible says that, but it also says that the husband is suppose to love his wife like he loves himself, and not to be harsh with them. So, sometimes when we lose our cool, we are just blowing off steam, and that is a time where we want to be left alone, but not all men are like that. I know it helps me when a woman tries to help and be encouraging, but we all are different.

Its because they are insecure but too old to defer to "daddy" so they do the "sisters" thing.\n\nShag them all one by one and it'll soon stop.

You are absolutely correct!! If I could give you points I would! I think the family unit is disintegrating quickly, people don't care about each other as much. They conveniently forget to tell their children how beautiful, intelligent, wonderful, etc, they are. Children (and adults) need to hear positive things about themselves, otherwise they end up with a negative attitude..it's much easier for a parent to see and point out the negative things about their children. Good question.

I think that it is a combination of both things. Some people just are attention freaks and have to have attention (this is probably because they didn't get enough attention from their parents as small kids). Other people might seriously have some disability or whatnot.\n\nWhatever it is, though, it's pretty annoying to be around these kind of people.

I don't know if this is a serious post or not.  But siblings get mad at each other, because they live at home and are seldom apart, sharing close quarters.  ADHD and other issues can bring your temper to a boil.  Being pregnant and still living with mom can add to your stress.  If you are really hitting anyone, talk to your doctor.  If you are old enough, move the heck out if you can.  Taking your issues out on him is unforgivable.\n\nAlso, try to think like a grown up.  If you can't walk into McDonalds and get mad, and slap or hit someone just because you're ticked, then you should act the same at home.  Hitting is wrong and illegal.  Control yourself.  Learn to relax.  Talk to your doctor.  Keep away from your brother.

What were they thinking? You have a brother. How cool is that? What to do from here? I would ask your sisters why they didn't tell you. Don't be too quick to be pissed yet. There may be a reason. I can't think of any but give them a chance. Have they been good sisters in the past or have they always left you out? Take your time and get your ducks in a row. It would be great to find out he is a real nice guy that anyone would love to have as a brother. You don't have to hurry or rush to judgment. I sure hope things work out. Good Luck.

we have more anger for the people closer to us than strangers.  and since we are closer to ourselves, check the source of your anger to see if it isn't you.\nno one wants their faults pointed out to them if they already know them and haven't figured out how to deal with them yet.\nget yourself in a peaceful place with yourself and that will make it easier.\nand remember, it's ok to be angry. the problem starts when we display it badly.

People tend to be controlling out of fear. Family members can be controlling because they are afraid you won't make what they consider to be the "right" choices. They try to keep things in their realm of understanding and reasoning. \n\nIf they are really being mean then they may be controlling because they are afraid of being inferior in some way. If they keep you under their control then it makes them feel like the superior person.

My sister and I are three years apart and fought like cats and dogs when we were younger.  I'm 32 now and she is 29 and we are just getting to the point where we can have a conversation without jumping all over each other.  Our birthdays are only a couple weeks apart as well and we are both Aires...probably a bad combination.  I always thought that we were radically different from one another but then there are times when I wonder if it is that we are just too much alike to really be close...I'm still not sure.  \n\nWhat I am fairly sure of though, is that when sisters fight it is rarely about the thing that started the fight...she doesn't yell because you asked her to do a small favor.  She yells because there are huge under currents of emotion between the two of you that she doesn't know how to handle any better than you do.  You are two teenage girls living in the same home and there is going to be a lot of jealousy, resentment, anger, and self centered emotions coming between the two of you for a while.  The best thing you can do is give her space, you enjoy your space, and make up your mind that no matter what mean things she says you aren't going to treat her badly.  If you make up your mind that nothing she can do will make you hate her and you do your best to not say mean things to her then you have more than 50% of the control.  Know that when you get older and your parent(s) aren't around to hold the family together anymore it will be up to the two of you and any other siblings to remain close for the benefit of your children.  You can't control how she feels about you and what other issues she is having in her own head concerning you but you can decide that having a sister is more important than hating each other and not speaking for years.  \n\nSometimes you have to bite your tongue, I do it a lot with my sister, but not saying something mean is better than having her actually have a reason to be mad.  If you kill her with kindness and stay out of her way she will get over it at some point and you will have been the bigger person.

I don't think so, if people can't be mature enough to accept honest opinions from friends, to be honest, me personally I don't care for their friendship, I decided a long time ago that I’m done baby sitting friends, and they know that. I don't get upset of every little thing they say and I expect the same treatment from them.

There is jealousy everywhere.  I think everyone deals with it at one point or another.  It's pretty immature, and people who threaten or do harm of any sort have very low self esteem and have to bring others down so it will make them feel better.  It's very sad what someone will do to shift any attention to them.  Just stay away from those types of people.  Do not react at all, because thats what keeps them going.  Do not give them the satisfaction of seeing you scared or angry at what they are doing.  That is exactly the reaction they are screaming for because thats the only attention they can get.  LOSERS!!!!

I am now 19 and I have a little sister who is 13 as well and when i was younger i also picked at my little sister i guess it was because she was smaller than i was but don't think for a second it was because I didn't care about her it was just that when i was 15 there where a whole lot of things changing in my life at the time and I needed someone to take it out on and she was the only one there smaller than myself. Trust me once she gets a little older it will all pass.
