Well I'm 16 and female.
Well I know that it is somewhat expected that siblings will be jealous of each other but how long is it supposed to last? I have a sister who is slightly less than 2 years younger than me and I have been jealous of her ever since she could walk. She is always the pretty one, the athletic one, the funny one, the outgoing one. She even got a boyfriend before I did. My sister and I are basically complete opposites and we don't get along. I've always thought she was perfect and I was nothing. She always gets asked to dance at school dances while I sit in the corner and cry. Maybe I'm just a bit too emotional. My mom says that in many ways I'm better than my lil sister but I don't believe it. Is there any way for me to stop being jealous of my sister?
I am very sorry you feel this way. I know it's tough to be jealous of someone, especially someone you live with. Don't let it get you down though! Everyone has their strong points, and it seems like your sister has that outgoing trait. There is no way to completely cease your jealousy, but maybe, if you learn to like yourself a little better, the jealousy will dim out. Try and seek your own strong points. Both physically and emotionally. Are you caring, do you have unusually pretty eyes,charismatic, a good reader/writer?? Any of those...there has to be something your good at. Everyone is unsatisfied with their own appearance in some aspect or another whether or not they admit it. I'm sure there's something your sister can't stand about herself...there's got to be something. I'm sorry you guys don't get a long...my sister is 2 years older than me too and we seem to get along pretty well. Sure, we fight. But, sometimes we go out and have dinner together...or watch a movie...do eachother's hair/makeup. Try and get along with your sister, possibly hanging out with her or something, you might learn to be less jealous. The closer you are to her, the easier it will be to see her weaknesses. Everyone has them, and it's nothing to be ashamed of either. I'm sure there's some beauty in you. Just look in a mirror and keep telling yourself "I am a pretty girl" you'll find something you like about yourself. :)
(Rating: 4) There are only two things I think I am good at and they are flirting (silly but true) and writing poetry. My eyes are somewhat pretty but so are hers. Our eyes are basically the same.
