It sounds like your sister has trichotillomania.  Trichotillomania is a psychological impulse disorder characterized by an inability to resist the impulse to pull out your hair.  It can be made worse by stress, or conversely, by relaxation.  This behaviour can be treated with medications and also with pychotherapy.

It's a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder, and also has it's own sub-genre - compulsive skin picking (csp).  It's not normal, as you know, but many people, me included, do it, and I know how hard it is to stop.  You could try the link below, and message me if you want to talk about it.

Next time you have to make a call walk into her salon and sit in the waiting room and have a very loud conversation.  This will definetely get across the message that you are a pansy and too afraid to simply mention to someone that their behavior bothers you.  Grow some stones and go tell her.  SHe probably doesn't realize it bothers you wuss.

you can't force her to connect back to you... she's at this age where she's having identity crisis and probably wants you to leave her alone. it is true that teenagers are a little self-centered as if the whole world revolves around them -- im not saying this to degrade anybody, i WAS in this phase too! when you gain more experience as you grow older, that's the time when you learn to be selfless and humble. you start to think about other people. there is no specific age for this... these things you learn through hardships no matter what. i've dealt with a lot of things, so i learned quicker, and i kinda grew up a little too fast. my life passed me by though -- i didn't get to enjoy hanging out with friends or having boyfriends, but i have learned to be selfless. what matters to me now are the people i love... they matter more to me than myself. \nanyhow... there will come a time when your sister will mature as well, and you'll probably be matured at that time too... and i bet you will be as closest as you can possibly be. i have friend who fought with her brother constantly when they were younger, but they became so close when they got older when she finally moved out.. she would always tell me how much she misses her brother. so give it time... this time will come. (as long as you don't change and forget all about her)

try leaving your hair down. It might be from keeping it in a ponytail

The more you show him that this word upsets you, the more he'll say it. He knows it pushes your buttons. Hey, he's a little brother. That's the way they are. It's their job to snitch on you, copy everything you say & do, and find words that annoy you. Unfortunately, if he's not listening to your good counsel about keeping his yap shut, someone will do it for him, relieving you of all responsibility. So, if you've told him, and you've told your parents, your job's done. Let the chips fall where they will. And don't allow him to see that it bothers you. This works well on all the other stuff that he's been annoying you with too. How do I know this? I'm a little sister, though grown up now. <*)))><

well i think your sis should go to her friend and tell her she has something to tell her... and that she knows how awkward it is but she just wants to help before it gets any worse then should give the girl the video and leave her to watch alone to spare the girl more embaressment, then she should go back to her friend a few minutes later and try to figure out together how to stop it... starting by the sourse the jerk she was with in the video.

Well she is a very immature person. Did she always get her way growing up by acting this way? When she got into trouble was she ever punished for it in a way that made her change? I don't think there is anything wrong with your sister except that she is very immature and very self centered. \n     You, as her sister need to just walk away from her and not even talk to her when she is being this way. You be the more mature person and don't even give that kind of stupid behavior the time of day. I mean literally refuse to deal with her when she is acting like this. Adults should not behave this way and you will notice that most of them do not.

ok my sister always tries to run my life also and gets pissed off if i didnt do it the way she told me to, this went on for many years and i allowed her to do it until one day i got fed up and blew up at her, she stopped talking to me for 2 months and in reality it was a great 2 months, but after she sat and thought about everything i said while i was blowing up at her she realized that she has been a real crappy sister towards me and she has been a lot better since then, and we even have sister to sister talks now and i never ever had them with her so my suggestion to you is tell her that either stop running your life or go fu..k off and remember if she hits ya you have a hand to deck her back. she will realize though what she is doing if you just speak up.

Hmmmm.  Last time I went was kinda weird.  My stylist told me her sister was seriously ill in the hospital with a sometimes fatal disease.  A couple times during the "foil" she hurried out to take phone calls.  As it turned out, her sister wasn't in as bad shape as they thought.\n\nI hate to say this, but I kept wondering if she was going to mess up my hair, being so worried about her sister.\n\nAnyway, we normally talk about our kids, vacations, weather, light stuff.

K needs to make B jealous by making out with her bo in front of her.  B sounds like she is jealous of K.  and i agree B should be given lice.  she needs the head scratching to keep her busy.

I understand and know exactly what your niece is going through. I was teased from 1st grade all the way to 8th. yeah...I know, lol. Let her know that, those kids doing that stuff to her are seriously jealous of her and that it eventually will catch up to them. Also i suggest that she find a teacher or principle in the school, she can talk to about this. Preferably a teacher because they give advice and they are easier to talk to. If they speak spanish, tell her to say, " Cayette(kie-a-tay) which means shut up! lol. No seriously, I would suggest that she stand up for herself as well. Look them in the eye at all times that she has something to say. Also, tell her not to be a push over. Kids who pick on others, always ask to borrow things and use things from the kids they tease. Tell your niece to say no, but do it politely. Everything will be ok.  Im sure she has friends she can rely on as well, so it should be fine. But one thing you as the adult can do, is call up to the school and let an adult there know whats going on and see if anything can be worked out like a mediation thing or something. Hope I helped, and tell your niece to keep strong!

There is a term for that - some people yank all their hair out.  Kinda like a compulsive habit.  It is called trichotillomania.  Hypnosis or therapy should help.\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/HairpullingSufferers

The truth is most sisters do this to each other.  But you should find a way to stop, don't forget you're going thrue you're teenage years and there is alot going on that you don't yet understand this should soon stop.

Odds are your sister told her daughter not to talk to you but it's not your nieces fault, it's her Mother's, remember that. As far as the sibling rivaling there's no age that that's not possible. What caused this? Were you two compared to alot growing up? Gosh, I hate to go her but I will. My sister and I are both in our 50's\nand she has always hated me with a passion, we haven't spoken in over 2 years and she has instructed her 30 year old son that if he talks to me even at family gatherings she's through with him, fortunately he told her he loved her but I did nothing to him and he will have a relationship with me. Anyway I love our Mother but I blame her, she always compared us and that's not a fair thing to do. I even started to go to counseling over the whole thing. I've come to realize that it's okay if she doesn't want anything to do with me, I still love her and I'd be there if she needed me, I can't make her like me and I can't change things. It's her loss that we aren't in each others lives and with or without her I will go on and I will be happy. I will not let it ruin my happiness or my life.
