I really don't get along with my sister

My sister and I have been living together for years now because we go to the same school in the U.S. We have never gotten along. We are completely different people. What bothers me a lot is that she never acts like an older sister - she doesn't protect...

me in front of others when they're mean to me. For some reason she's just always mean to me, and I always find myself thinking of the things she told me. She doesn't understand that we're completely different and always critisizes every little thing that I do. She once asked me why are you sooo needy? and she told me that she wishes that one day I have selfish children. She thinks she can tell me what to do when really the only people I listen to are my parents. If they don't have a problem with anything I do why should she, she should mind her own buisness and stop harrassing me! I hate her way of living but I respect that she's different and I don't tell her what to do. How do I deal with her? We will never be able to work things out so please don't say we should.

tell her how you feel. if shes older than she needs to be mature about htings and sit down and talk to you. instead of harassing

Every older sister does that, its normal...

Wow, that sucks. My sister is younger then me by 2 years and she acts like if she was older then me. She treats me really bad, she's mean to me and hits me a lot. She's always offending me and doesn't show the love. Sometimes I wonder if she does truly love me. But don't get me wrong sometimes she can be nice and sweet but rarely. What do I do? Well I'm always showing her the love, I tell her that I'm glad she is my sista and that I love her even tho' she looks at me and doesn't care but I know that deep down she has her own way of showing me some love. Maybe that's just the way your sista shows you the love. Just be patient with her and show her the love. Don't give up.

my sister does that too... granted I dont live with her all of the time, she goes away 2 college, but I get the same crap as you do... the only thing that has really ever worked for me was just compleatly blocking her out of my life... even if you still live with her, ignore the nagging and just go about your buisiness. spend as much time in your room or out with friends. if you get anything elce useful tell me.. I still need help! lol

My advice is to try to stick to respecting the way she is. There must be some reason that she is the way she is, but there's not a lot you can do about it. You can't control her but you are in control of the way you are. Just be the best person you can be. Try not to let her actions affect you. That will only feed into what she is trying to accomplish and she will end up getting her way.
