ok i am 15/f pleez help event tho this is going to be a long one! and my stupid sister is so different from me...personality wise...she is so mean to everyone that she knows...im not, she doesnt care about peoples feelings or how they feel...i do, she has no feelings whatsoever like whenever i go to school i say "bye i love you," and she doesnt say anything back! i mean my mom is a single parent and she raised us both the same way...so how did i turn out to be so nice and have her be so evil? well anyway, yesterday i was online and my sister was just on for like 2.5 hours and i got up to try on some new makeup that i found online, then i saw her on the computer and i told her that she better not get on because i wasnt done yet. so she said,"i just wanna put these pics on here" so i let her and when i wanted to go back on she had like 3 websites up and a crapload of people on that she was talking to. so i told her to get off and that she was just on for hours. and she said ok but kept on with what she was doing. so i screamed"GET OFF!" and she jumped. so i left because i was so mad and by the time i got back, i could read her IM to her friend and it went like this: sister:im scared, her friend:well give her a twinkie and tell her to be good...well i am the kind of person that really is not happy with their weight and for them to be so mean like that really hurt my feelings so i yelled at her started busting out crying and SHE DIDNT EVEN FEEL BAD!!! she just told me that i think im so important that i think everyone talks about me. i was like whatever. so my question is(sorry for being so long) why r we so different and ive also been having some thoughts about crash dieting bc nothing else works? should i i only weigh around 135 and im 5foot 7inches and im 15.
Additional info, added Thursday June 9 2005, 2:05 pm: sorry i forgot to say, pleez dont tell me to sit my sister down and try to talk to her because like i said before, she isnt understanding or loving and she doesnt like to talk about her feelings so doing that wont help...believe me ive tried many many many times...i need to do somehting else!!!.

My friend had the same problem with her weight and she went on a crash diet. She ended up being hospitalized and then the doctor told her before she started the crash diet she was under the normal weight (130) for her hieght (5'7). In the end when she was hospitalized she was weighting in to a whooping 93.7LBS
Crash dieting is a horrible thing to do.
What you can do is try to eat healthier. Exercise every day. Do sit ups. Push ups. Run and go swimming. Bike. Just go for a walk with your friend so you can talk. or go by your self and listen to a portable cd player or an mp3 player or an iPOD.
iN THE end it will all work out!
Hope i helped and good luck

devil9221 answered Thursday June 9 2005, 9:01 pm: The reason why you are different is because you have different personalitys. One way to make your sister caring is to be just like her. I know this sounds crazy but this might work. Your sister has feelings. If she asks why you are acting that way say, "feels like looking in a mirror, doesn't it?"
Hope I could help!

vermillion26 answered Thursday June 9 2005, 2:40 pm: why are you and your sister diferent? most siblings are very different, even twins have very different personalities. some of it might depend on the people she hangs around with, friends are a very big influence. its probably just who she is, i cant tell you why you are different, i can only tell you that you've had different experiences and those experiences shape who you are. you're just differnt people. siblings are always mean to each other in thier teenage years and hopefully once both of you get a little older your relationship will become better. about the dieting, DONT crash diet. you say that they're the only things that work, well, they only work for a little while. plus they are very dangerous for your health. you aren't at an unheathly weight for your age and height, 135lbs. is healthy and normal. if you really feel uncomfortable you should see a doctor and then maybe a dietician. but honestly, your at a heathly weight and you shouldn't worry to much about it.
chaos answered Thursday June 9 2005, 2:29 pm: Every child is different, even in the same household. She knows exactly what buttons to push to make you angry, and what to do to get her way.
You are giving her too much of your power.
5'7 and 135 is not really all that overweight. 5'7 and 235 is pretty bad (which is where I am). Crash diets do not work. Changing your lifestyle and how you approach food does. I did wiegh 252. But that really isn't the problem.
You know who your sister is, and until she meets some real consequences, she isn't going to change. Quit wasting your time. Just try to negogiate when you aren't mad at her. For instance, "I would really appreciate it if you could let me have the computer from 3-4pm tomorrow so that I can do some things." And get a kitchen timer and stick to whatever plan you two agree on. Pitching it to your mom shows immaturity, so figure it out amongst yourselves. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

XxStRaWb3rRyxX answered Thursday June 9 2005, 2:18 pm: Maybe shes depressed and stressed out. I'm the same way and I'm really mean to my parents and sister. I know you said not to tell you to sit her down, but you need to. If anybody in my family actually sat me down to talk, I might say what is bothering me. I hold it in everytime I really want to say it. I am depressed, so I get mad and yell at my family a lot. I dont really mean to, it just happens. Insulting you or whatever relaxes her and makes her feel better. I'm sure she wishes she wasnt like that, atleast I do. Its nothing your mom or you did wrong, it could be her friends, or anybody. For me, its myself. lol it sounds funny, but really, it is. I make myself stay home, not answer the phone, dont go out and see friends, I basically hide. Its because I think I'm overweight, ugly, everything bad you can think of. But, when I do go out, I get compliments saying how pretty my eyes are. Its my brain that tells me all this stuff and gets me depressed :/ When my sister cries, I go to see whats wrong, but I dont hug her. I just dont feel comfortable doing that and I would think she would think I'm weird. I'm sure she cares, she just doesnt show it. And maybe she isnt loved enough. My parents are always gone, so yeah. Just try to give her a hug and see what happens. If she pulls away, dont think she doesnt care...she just doesnt want to "show" "love" or whatever you want to say. Shes afraid. lol she sounds just like me :p Well, I hope I helped. Send me a message if you need anything and I'll be happy to answer! :o) bRi* [ XxStRaWb3rRyxX's advice column | Ask XxStRaWb3rRyxX A Question ]
