Awww...that is so sad. It reminds of my relationship with my sister. She is also older than me. It's about a year and a half older...Seriously, we do and don't get along. It's not like one of those sibling love and hate conflicts, where we would just fight occasionaly. It's similar to yours, too, but it's not like we hate each other guts. Though we bicker and argue pretty much every day, even on the small and petty things. And when we're like really angry (which can happen like every now...ish^^)...we like literally fight and call each other names. Like when we were younger, like around the age of six-seven ish, there was this time when she pushed me off the stairs (O.o)...and another time where she poked me near the eye with a pen. Now I have a small bump on my forehead and a dot near my eye...She is a violent one, like a bull she is....Anyway, now I'm getting off subject, even after all we do, from arguements and fights, I still actually do love her. Once in a while, we have these heart-to-heart talks, but we do and really don't know each other at all. We just get out of each other's way...most of the times at least^^...Ok, enough with my story. Hmm, well you could act out a suicide attempt- like if she hates you so much and wishes you were dead, just be like, "FINE", you want me dead. Then stomp off to the kitchen, pull out a knife, make sure she follows you and sees you. She should have a heart, and be like, what the hell are you doing or something. Then like just tell her, whilst crying, about all your problems with her and you don't understand why she is being like that....Though death is not a funny matter, so you shouldn't really do that. You can always tell your parents about the situation, though your sister might hate you even more. All in all, you can just ignore her in school and home. And if she provokes you first (MAYBE that's what she wants and is plotting) then just be like yea, I know, whatever....Try doing a guilt trip on her....Gah, so yea, this post might not have helped you at all, but hope it did. ^^ Good luck with your sis.

Sounds like the situation is too deep to simply resolve before going away to college.  I suggest that you tread lightly around her until you leave (so not to aggravate the situation more) and when you're at college, do your best and make good grades.  I'm a parent and knowing that my kids are doing well in college is a great gift.  Although you two may not be getting along on day-to-day issues, I am sure she will be very proud if you do well in college.  This could be the ice breaker you need to start improving your relationship.

You have to say what you feel. Say to her without swearing or yelling that you don't appreciate her in your room getting into your things. If she puts up a fuss or her feelings get hurt that is her problem. You said it the best way you could and if her feelings are hurt that's too bad. You have to stand up for yourself.

thats a usual attitude of moms, dont worry! I had the same problem too, and i was so pissed off and i suffered alot, but in the end it was just because she worries about me. Try to take the things easier and try to listen to her more carefully

Sounds like a totally different story here with you and your mom. \nI think your mother has took the step to protect you from what is going on in your house>>>you know with the fist fighting with your brother,etc.<<<< I wouldn't mention it to your mother as of yet, if she said she would get you one then she will but it is another month & 1/2 for school starts again. If you are setting back & expecting it then it will not be a surprise. If you haven't gotten it like 2 weeks before school start ask her if you can go with her to get the laptop & then you will find out what her intentions are about getting one. You never know it might be in her bedroom closet right now as you are setting there typing questions & reading answers. good luck.

Well, I can say that I know what u r goin through. Almost..... I was the younger sibling and my brother and I had to share a room. I didnt have the annoying cough but just the annoying prescence of me being there irritated him. We even divided our rooms with temporary wall and that somewhat helped and studying was a lil out of the question. I always got in his way. It doesnt help to talk to your younger sibling because, lets face it..... I didnt even listen. Maybe try studying in study hall or go in the living room to study. Ask your parents politely to have her leave the room so u can catch up on your studying. That is not being selfish. Your parents arent good parents if they cant accomodate to each of their childs needs if it calls for it. They had these kids not u. Ask and u shall receive. No dont be rude but just say, " Hey mom. Do u mind if u can let lil sis or lil bro watch tv while I study or do home work for an hour???" That would be very helpful to me. I dont think u will get too much help with the sleeping arrangment though. But the study part I am sure they can help u. OH, the library is a wonderful place too.

Maybe you should try to wait for her, unless that will make you late for school. Just tell her what you are feeling, ask her why she is mad. If you guys are such good friends she will feel okay to answer you honestly. Try to listen to her feelings, and understand why she is feeling this way. Juat be honest with her.

Move in with some other family members but ask her first sounds like you both may need a copy of days apart. But you tell your mom don't fight with her, Moms love there kids but you to young to see this.\nYou will one day.

Take a pillow, put it over your face and scream as loud as you can (this helps me a lot) or write out your feelings in a journal or a letter to the person that is making you so angry or upset, then burn it. If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me. I went through a lot of things when I was a teen and may be able to help. I wish you the best and I will pray for you.

Its hard with a mother like that i would ask her why she says these things and confront her about it and tell her if she continues to make you feel miserable then you might be better off without her.  Its not always the best thing to do but sometimes you have too

first of all, that's terrible, you didn't deserve to be attacked!\n\njust politely ignore it, she probably wants to get a reaction from you. if you don't give it any more emotional energy- she will go away\n\nor-\nif you feel violated- write the yahoo people to complain\n\nor- if you really can't let it go. write back how you are feeling, that it was abusive of her to attack you for no reason, and perhaps she is striking out because something in her life is causing her pain. but- only do that if your real email is hidden and she can't reach you any other way (360 page, etc..) and you feel it's neccesary for you to stick up for yourself. there is nothing wrong with that.you can state your peace without being mean. just state the truth.

I wonder how old is this child? if it were me and moms not doing so well I would try talking to the child and explain moms situation. The child may feel like shes losing her mom and doesn't understand how to cope. When I was a tennager I threatened my mom and she has someone come over from the juvenile court to "TALK" to me.... That scared the S!@# out of me and I didn't behave that way anymore.  as far as KY law you could always have someone you know that the child doesn't and have them lie to her and scare her.. At 13 My son thought he could get away with anything and I had a friend (who's in the military) come over in uniform with some phoney brouchers about military school... All BS I made them on my computer.... well it worked my son hasn't acted nasty in a long time that was over a year ago...Right or wrong you need to find a way that works for you because in the end your the adult and they can't forget that...

If you have raised her right then you have nothing to worry about. With the way you want to protect her, I believe you did. Just be involved in her life. Know the what, when, where, who, time line of the events she takes place in. Remember that checking up on her is your right and she does not have the right to privacy until she is out of your house. My parents used to go through my room and I thought they were so wrong for doing that, but now I realize that it kept me out of a lot of trouble.

well, first of all, ask yourself what you want... then confront the girl if you are ready to.. then tell her what u feel, express everything and if its not enough, take some time off alone and reflect with what happened. talk to other people, share what bothers you, in that way, your anger or maybe rage might somehow released.. keep yoursel busy as well, it might help..

Show her some of your "A" tests and remind her that you are a much better student than many parents can bribe their kids into being, with the suggestion that this is a sort of reward- you are a good student and can stand to miss a half-day of school. Explain calmly and clearly your points about the teachers expecting students to not show up. You can also mention how even the school administration didn't feel it was necessary to have a whole day of school- aren't the last three hours of school just as important as the first five? Make sure to present your points maturely and rationally, without any whining, and your mom is sure to be impressed and agree to let you stay home.\n\nIf she makes you go anyway, you can skip homeroom and your classes and just hide in the library and read. Make it a 5-hour discover-interesting-books day, it'll be awesome. I wish I had a 5-hour block of time I could devote to just browsing a library, I need to expand the types of books I read and I've glanced at really interesting titles that I never had time to check out. Like ventriloquism, learn ventriloquism! You'll be able to screw with people for the rest of your life.
