My sister has been trying so hard to impress everyone lately. She isn't even herself anymore, and she hasn't been for almost 2 years (she's 14). She spends days on myspace, facebook, and aim. She's become a typical fake teenaged girl who says "like" and "hilarious" every other word.
How do I deal with her? (link)

you don't need to deal with her. You just need to talk to her. Maybe all she needs right now in her life is someone to talk to. You need to seriously talk to her and ask hernwhy she is doing all of this stuff. There has to be someone in her life that is keeping her from being the person that she obviously is inside. She might be suppressing her emotions and just hiding her real self. You must show her that hiding her true self is not the solution to being a better person. No one can change who they are, they are born a certain way, and no way of talking, clothing, make-0up, and friends will ever change that. Help her accept the real person inside of her. because trying to please others never works.

I am always stuck watching my baby brother. He just turned 11 months [today]. I get so freaking stressed out all of the time because of him. I realize that he is just a baby, but you have no idea on how much its breaking me down. I don't even get to hang out with my friends as much as I used to. He bangs on my laptop when I'm sitting on the couch and he even shut off my laptop by picking at my power button and shutting it off while I was typing a paper that took ONE HOUR TO TYPE. I mean, I realize that he's a baby, but he drives me insane. It's not easy when you're 13 years old and just want to enjoy being a teenager. I constantly have to take on responsibilities of a 20 year old by watching him.
I watch him Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. My mom is a waitress at the local restaurant so I watch my baby brother from 4 PM to 11 PM. That's 7 hours. I mean, my mom gives me money for watching him. But sometimes, it's not even about the money. It's just much emotional turmoil I'm going through. He needs constant attention. The only free time that I get to myself is when he's sleeping. I have to change his diaper 4 times a day. I have to feed him. Its like he's MY baby. We need the money [my mom sometimes works double shifts] for Argentina because we will be going for a month and my parents obviously won't be getting payed. Anyways, it's just like sometimes I feel like ripping my hair out and screaming at the top of my lungs because this is how much Viggo makes me crazy inside. I've tried to breath and not go crazy, but it's hard if you're stuck watching him for 7/8 hours a day. Even when my mom is here, there is always SOME way I have to watch him. (link)

you need to talk to your parents about how you feel about this. suppressing your emotions is not the way to say that you are sick and tired of this. Abd maybe you just need to fin different ways to entertain your little brother so that he won't give you so much attention. you need to addressthe situation to your parents exactly how much stress you are under and that you need a break. And if that doesn't work, then I think that you need to find a different way to bond with your little brother. He's going to be growing up with you. Raise him up to like you, not think that you hate him because he had to watch you all the time. You are the older sibling here, there is no greater bnond then the bond of siblings. You just need to take that stress and all that anger, and not suppress it, just channel it into bonding with him, even if it means sacrificing an hour or two o your homework. School is im portant, but the relationship between you and your brother is even stronger.
