I have a sister who is almost 18, and I am 16 and she treats me pretty badly. Now, I know that is typical for two sisters to do while both in high school. She doesn't have a lot of friends and not many people like her because she is rude to everyone and talks down to people a lot. I started high school this year, at a new school, and a lot of new people. Now, the people I have been going to school with for the past 6 or so years treated me horribly in Elementary school, so I left and went to another school. There I was treated bad to, so I decided to go back to the junior high everyone I knew was going to. My 9th grade year, I did alright, I became friends with people I never thought I would, but this year, because of my sisters reputation people are talking trash about me, and telling me I'm not worth there time. I don't really have any friends, I sit in the library at lunch, and most of the time I don't really talk to anyone. I was wondering if there was a way to meet new people, or some way to not let them judge me for who my sister is? It hurts to be left out, and forgotten by people because of someone else. Thank you.

But if you're to up in someone's face they'll just get annoyed. Hmm i don't know how to put this but just be open to anyone, if someone is talking trash about you they obviosly wouldn't be a good friend neways.

As for yours..to me..if these losers are JUDGING you..on your sister..i would not even care what they think. How shallow are they not to know that every sibling is different.
I am so sorry you ae hanging out in the library. Is there not a club you might join that would show people that you are your own person.
As for your sister..until she gets happy...you and her will never get along. sounds to me like she needs tot alk to a professional. [ dinoold's advice column | Ask dinoold A Question ]

Their losers because they judge you by how your sister is and thats stupid. Just join a club you like, or tryout for a team and you'll find a friend! Even if its not the most popular girl/guy at least you'll have a friend. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
