Depression
I bet just by looking at this you can tell who I am. anyways, i'm having problems at home with my younger sister. it seems like every other day we're arguing about every simple little thing. to be blunt, it's making me mad and me being mad means me being depressed. i have tried other methods of trying to cope with it but to no avail. is there any other methods that you know of? thanks

-clears throat and begins- HI! I'm PurplePudgyPenguin and I'll be your advice-giver for the evening! Now, down to buisness. Ok it seems like you and your sister have a lot of tensed up emotions with each other. You two seem to be very... edgy most of the time. Think about a dry forest. Rain hasn't fallen for at least a month and it's down south so the sun is always beating on it and what-not. Now, it appears as if your emotions are like a lightning storm. One strike and the forest just lights up. Ok, I bet you're saying, "It's a forest not me and my sister!" well, it kind of is like you and your sister. Your relationship is much like that forest. It can grow with proper care, plenty of rain, and a bunch of love and hope from others. When anger and frustration breaks out, the lightning strikes it and the trees burn. Animals loose their homes, and in a sense, your relationship with your sister dies away. Dont let this happen. I know it's irritating that your sister may get on your nerves a lot and I dont blame you for wanting to lash back and argue (believe me, it's sibling nature). I'd suggest, just doing what she wants for awhile. Let her think she won the fight. Let her just be at ease and when you catch her in a decent mood, tell her straight out you two need to find a common ground to stand on. If she refuses and puts up a fight, or ends up arguing with you again, tell your parents that you honestly tried to speak to her about the issue but she refused. Tell them your problem, sit them down and have them hear you out. I cant promise you that they're going to say, "Ok! We'll take care of it!" i'd like to tell you that, it'd make my life so much easier if I could. Unfortunately, we can't control people (especially our parents) and sometimes, if they cant help, you'll just have to try to find that ground. Tell your sister she needs to give in a bit (she sounds pretty stubborn to me, lol, don't tell her I said that). When your sister makes you so irritated, or you just cant take it anymore, go out of the house and take a nice long walk, or you could always talk to someone about it. It'll work out in the end. (I know I'm going to regret saying this but... -sigh-) One day, you and your sister will be friends. I know, I know! I'm crazy for repeating my parents but I'm telling you, someday, it'll happen. I'm starting to think I'm insane right now so if you think so, it's ok. ^^
Well, I hope I helped. If not, there are plenty of other advice-givers that can do far more than I can on here. I hope I made your life easier in some way. Take care!
Luvs,

P.S. JP right? ^_^ HIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
