Getting on my sister's good side
Okay so I need to get on my sister's good side. I was kind of a bitch to her this past weekend. She wanted to wear one of my skirts and I didn't let her. I had a good reason though--Last time she wore one of my skirts she cut it because she thought it was too long.
Anyway, the mom of this family she babysits for just got a boob job and can't fit into any of her new designer shirts. I'm talking like Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, you name it. And they're like still brand new, tags and everything.
She says that since I was such a bitch to her that she won't give me any of them. I need to know how I can make it up to her fast so any help is appreciated. And I know that I should always be nice to her even when I don't want anything from her but too late for that.
If it's any help, I'm 17 and she's 15.

Well if your trying to get on her good side because she's getting nice cloths that bad. You should appoligize to her and tell that your sorry of being such a b---- and explain to her if she barrows your cloths that they have to come back the way that you lent them to her. Maybe she'll let you borrow some of the skirts. Plus you could take her out for dinner or a movie or buy her something that she wants. Hope that helps.
Good Luck

Ha- that is the greatest situation I've ever heard for why a quick-fix apology is necessary. It's almost too perfect to be real :D
It was pretty weird of her to cut your skirt- does she often do things like that? I mean, she vandalized someone else's personal property- that's just not cool. And I think you had a good reason to be upset with her about it when it happened. But if you talked about it at the time and she's a halfway decent human being, there shouldn't be too much reason to fear a repeat performance, right? It seems like the best solution for that scenario would've been to have worked that issue out right after you discovered the *alteration* so that your being a bitch to her recently wouldn't have been necessary. Ah-- but sometimes we need to get a point across and the easiest way is to be, um, pointy.
I've been rotten to my sister for much smaller infractions, (much MUCH smaller infractions), and the best outcome we ever had to any argument came when one of us approached the other, laid everything out on the table, and apologized. No tears, no Lifetime Movie moments, just simple, boring honesty. And usually laughter, 'cause most sisters argue over some pretty lame stuff and when it's spoken out loud the lameness is unignorable ;)
Apologize, tell her that you've been unable to forgive her for that action in the past, and that you're applying that past frustration to her even when she hasn't done anything again yet to merit it. Tell her you like being able to share things- skirts, designer shirts, guys- and that you hope you still can 'cause these shirts are great and your skirts are just hanging there waiting to be worn and you losing your cool and her doing something freaking weird are just not good enough reasons to stop perfectly good clothing from being swapped.
Let her know that you were pissed at her this weekend, but that you didn't want to feel that way and that you regret expressing that pissed off-ness the way you did. Yeah she might not believe you because her forgiveness may result in a great payoff for you, but honestly- even if she accepts your apologies and then BURNS all the shirts: sisters last a lot longer than the amount of time you've got left to fit into those tops.
I mean I'm just sayin'... metabolism... the Freshman Fifteen... Ben & Jerry's... Those shirts have nothing on what you can have with your sis if you two can work things out as they come up.
That said: I hope she forgives you and lets you wear the shirts and that they look incredible on you both ;)
