my older sister is 15 and i am 13, and i can't stand her! like she just bugs the hell out of me. she tries to be like her "own person", she is obsessed with animals, mostly horses, and reading. but i am the exact opposite, i hate reading and i like partying, boys, music, and tennis. she is trying to act like me though. i mean she likes country music, and i like rap hip hop and r& b. now she is starting to like maroon 5 and stuff that i like it is pissing me off and its just cause she is trying to be cool because she knows she is really annoying. and my mom is making me spend the day with her at the pool tomorrow, which i really don't want to do because there are only 2 days until i go to camp and i would rather spend my time with my friends! how do i get out of it?!?! please help me!

You have a problem with her because she "tries to be like her 'own person?'" What exactly is wrong with this? Would you rather she be your clone? Besides, "finding your identity" is part of adolescene. Some teenagers do this by being defiantly individualistic, and some, like you, do it by defining themselves as part of a group. Just because she's not like you doesn't mean there's something wrong with her. My siblings and I have totally different personalities, different interests, and ran with different "crowds" in high school, but we still like to hang out.

(Rating: 1) i don't hate her because she tries to be her own person, its that she claims that my interests are stupid but then she starts changing to be like me. my problem is that i DON't WANT A CLONE! u understood that completely wrong
