What do I do when I found out my sister did something bad?

I’m known as the tattle tail little sister. I always snoop and find out bad things my sister had done.

My cousin one time stayed over our house for a month and I found out she snuck out one night and tried to drink. I show’d my mom the texts I saw and now my cousin hates me. I just don’t want them doing stuff like this.

Now I found out when my sister lied to my mom and told her she was sleeping over my friends, she really went to a party. And one time they also snuck rum in our house at 2am. My family is a clean christian family so finding out these things my sisters done is pretty shocking. I’m not sure if I should have told my mom, Im not doing it to tattle, I really just want my sister to stop going down the wrong path..

My sister is a senior and im a soph.

Answer #1

Its not wrong when you tell your parents. Just don;t become the neighborhood tattletale, because the first time you do something wrong, or may even get set up to look like you did something. Understand?

Answer #2

You telling on her is just going to make her rebel even more once she is an adult and can do whatever she wants. Not to mention it’s not helping your relationship with her at all. I would hate my cousin if she told on me, too. As an adult…who did many stupid things when I was younger, I now realize that I did a lot of stupid things that I shouldn’t have been doing and that could have gotten me hurt. As she gets older she’ll know she needs to be responsible for her decisions. Just because you’re a “clean christian” family doesn’t mean that she can’t have a good time, or that you’re all perfect.

Answer #3

The more you try to force the life style on her the more she’s going to rebel. I know you’re not trying to, ect, but that’s what it would feel like to her. My sister did crazy things when she was younger. It took her getting pregnant to straighten up, but she finally did. Hopefully it doesn’t take your sister getting pregnant, but I feel she’ll make a mistake that will be her wake up call. Bit she has to find out on her own.

Answer #4

Try talking to your sister and telling her that you think she is making a bad choice, I have a older sister to and she does stuff like this but were not christian , I never tell on her because I think that you should learn for your mistakes and that some times it is best just to let her choose her own path in life , and if she gets caught by my parents then that is her own fault and she will get her punishment. But really it’s up to you , do what you think is best for her and her safety .

Answer #5

I think you did the right thing… I know, if my sister did that to me, I’d freak. But MAYBE when she grows up a little, she’ll realize how stupid she was acting and thank you for what you did. Good Luck :] You definitely did something right

Answer #6

Don’t? She can do what she likes its her own life, You can talk to her about it and make her drink in moderation or what not but don’t tell on her, She’ll get upset, get grounded, sneak out, drink again because she’s depressed, low self esteem, have sex with people because she has low self esteem, just talk to her about it and don’t tell..

Answer #7

Just let her be, you have to realize that your sisster is older and that she makes her choices latter on she is going to regret it bacause the things she did. Just don’t tell because it will only get her madder and madder on you… just let things be I think she might be ols enuff to see what she is doing, she will pay latter,

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #8

your doing the right thing and your sister is blindfolded by sheer enjoyment to notice this just be patient and let her find out that what she is doing is wrong and she’ll eventually thank you for trying to keep her safe!

Answer #9

ok, I don’t think you should tell on her. it’s not going to help, she’s going to get and mad, and do worse things just to apite you all. also, she’s almost an adult, so they leesh your parents have on her is beginning to break. just have a responsible, adult conversation with her and pray that she makes the right descission. I’ll pray for her too :)

Answer #10

Dont rat your sister out. Even if she does bad. Tell her to stop. Or you’ll tell. But don’t disappoint your parents, When you really don’t need to. :D
