AlexLobrano answered Monday July 4 2005, 7:05 pm: Well, a lot of the time when people show off, it's because they have a low self esteem and want other people to compliment them when they show off. Have you ever just asked her to stop? That might help. Also, if she does some of that stuff, either ask to speak to her alone or if your sensitive and don't want your friends to see that, just take a quick walk or say your going to the bathroom and cool off. If all of that doesn't work, just tell her how you feel. Also warn your friends when they get there that you stepsister will probably be talking about you and not to laugh. If they don't laugh, she won't be encouraged to do more of it. Then she'll stop. I hope this works out for you, I really do. Good luck! [ AlexLobrano's advice column | Ask AlexLobrano A Question ]
