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.

Your sister being bi-polar explains it all.  Have her treated properly or else she will loose it completely.

It sounds as if she's jealous, are she and her brother pretty close? She may be feeling like your stealing him away from her. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about that, but take a deep breath, don't feel guilty about being relieved that she's not coming to your shower {you'll have much more fun without her their snarling her nose at everything.} And just enjoy your day.

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.

She is your sister! She only does it cause she wants your attention! She probably thinks that if she bugs you enough you'll hang out with her and give her attention! My younger brother is the type that he has to play around play fight and it's just my mom and I most of the time! My dad works 12 hour days so he results to me when he wants to fight! When I finally pay attention to him he leaves me alone! Sometimes that is all they want is to hang out or do something with you!

Try not to eat the unwanted hair.

you used to mess around???! if i am understanding the use of this word correctly then its your fault that she is acting this way... you were leading her on. she is your step sister, and its just as disgusting as if she was your real sister...\n\nyou two need to talk it out for sure. tell her she is beautiful and if you two werent related, it would have been possible to take this somewhere, but since you are related she needs to get over this and forget about the whole thing.

Your cousin is right, ignore her.  As long as she knows it bothers you, she'll keep up the mess.  Once she sees that you could care less, it'll get old real fast!

This sounds horrible, I would be livid.  Say something, let your sister know that if she is going to come by she needs to clean up.  Have you discussed this issue w/ your parents b/c all of you may need to confront her about this.  There is nothing worse than a trifling visitor.  But do not keep your feelings about the situation bottled up.  Or beat her at own game, go to her house and mooch off of her.

Time my friend.\n\nYou only have to wait.\n\nYou are experiancing in grown hair.  It is a situation girls deal with a lot.\n\nIt should go away in a few days.  Scratching is fine - just don't do it so much you bleed.

show her you are mature by cleaning the house, not whinning when she tells you NO. help her out and dont fight with your siblings(if you have any). dont talk back.

Control yourself and discipline your sister. If your sister insist having ___ with you, consult her to a psychiatrist or tell your parents.

Try cutting your hair on the day of a full moon! My sister does that and her air is getting really long.

I think you need to focus on his reasons behind the fingernail biting. These habits usually have underlying causes. Maybe he just needs lots of extra hugs and love from you. Some boost for his self confidence. It can do wonders. Have him help you more around the house. Keep him occupied with "jobS" he can feel good about accomplishing. Laundrey, dishes, cleanuing the shower or other household things with a rag., have him wash the walls etc... He will be SO PROUD and tell him you are too. I bet the fingernail biting will dissapear with a little extra love and attention!\n\nI really discourage you from putting substances on his hands. At 2 they do not have the ability to understand what yoiu are doing to them and are building trust. I think this hurts this.\nGood Luck!!\n\nI wrote the following for another post about an 8 year old sucking fingers.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar_1QOdonvEolBG8Z0b1YNfsy6IX?qid=1006021005280\n\nIt may be agonizing to watch but you know what they probably wont go to college doing it. The more attention you give it the more she will do it. When she gets good and tired of it or truely embarrassed when friend start commenting on it she will stop. I bet she doesnt do it at school. I bet it is an attention seeking thing for you. I guarantee she will stop on her own when she is ready.\n\nAnd if she didnt? Arent there worse things in life. Focus on her good qualities and building her self esteem. Making her think something is wrong with her for doing it will only make matters worse. Build her self esteem and it will probably disapear on its own. Nagging will only exacerbate the issue.\n\nPick your battles. Let it go. Focus on what is really important. The foundation of the problem not the surface.\n\n\nhttp://www.childdevelopmentinfo.com/pare...\nhttp://www.positivediscipline.com/parent...\nhttp://www.naturalchild.com/guest/pam_le...\n\nSome Maxims About Childhood Behavior\n\nChildren aren’t adults, so don’t expect them to behave as though they were. \nChildren learn by doing, so don’t expect to approve of everything they do. \nIt is a rare child whose behavior equals his parents’ expectations. \nChildren are more likely to do as you do than to do as you say. \nIt is often less important for parents to control their children’s behavior than it is for them to control their own. \nChildren react to anger; they respond to love and affection. \nA secure and loving home environment and emotional stability within the family appear to be the major elements in overcoming some of the specific behaviors that concern or displease parents. These include thumb-sucking, nail-biting, nose picking, rocking and head banging, bedwetting and erratic sleep habits. You can deal successfully with these problems if you refrain from making an issue of them, pay close attention to the emotional needs of your child, make sure that he knows you love him, whatever he does, and exert yourself to make him feel secure. If you develop that kind of warm relationship with him, you’ll do more than eliminate annoying habits. You’ll be rewarded with a happy, confident, and emotionally stable child!\n\n\nTo me putting a substance on your childs hands will not creat security and love. Thats probably why it rarely works.

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.

record it with a hidden cam corder. If she abuses you , she is more then likey to abuse others too. in my family this kinda stuff happpened too . it drove a space between me and my older sister, i hated her then and now i have little to no contact to her because she treats other still like that in her thirtys. some people need to feel as if they are in control and have the power. I dont want you to end up the tatel tail but if it was my child i would listen. Abuse is abuse no matter whos hand it comes by.

Regardless of who does more, be mature about this and don't tell everyone or tease her about it.  I'm sure she is already humiliated and you don't need to permanently damage your relationship with your sister over it.
