Elcee answered Thursday May 25 2006, 6:18 am: What a conundrum sisters are. I have an older sister and a younger sister. When we were growing up I fought like mad with my older sister and ignored my younger sister. There will not be a family who doesn't identify in some way with rowing siblings. I absolutely hated my older sister and we spent as little time as possible together. Our parents weren't much help because we both got yelled at regardless of who was right and who was wrong. However, it seemed like the sun shined out of every orifice of our younger sister. When my older sister got married it was great - I no longer had to face her every day. Unfortunately, I still didn't have much to do with my younger sister. There is not a lot you can do about your sister except grin and bear a lot of what goes on. Remember this stage won't last forever and one day you will come to realise that having siblings is quite nice. Yes I do now get on with my sisters - my younger one a lot more than my older one. We can rely on each other to see us through a crisis and they will always come running in an emergency. I know that I have not given you any suggestions on how to cope with a very annoying younger sister but I hope that eventually you will realise that having someone who shared your childhood knows exactly what you went through and can support one another when life gets tough.
I can only think of one reply to anything annoying and that would be to say quietly "I love you too" or "I have enough love for both of us". It may sound stupid to begin with but perhaps she might eventually hear what you say. Don't get mad or even, stay calm and let it all pass. I wish you all the best.

thats.smelly.good answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 6:00 pm: ok. i have a younger sister too she is very stupid. so just try to be gone all the time. or just don't even come in contact with her. just block her out of your life. it may work. but the
only thing is i haven't seen my sister in 10 years. because i've been at the circus half of my young life. this may help but i don't know. just try it out. i really hope i helped. and sorry she's so annoying.

Tulipg17 answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 8:25 am: When you get older, your relationship will alomst certainly improve. For now, just spend your time away from her and avoid her whenever possible. I know this is obvious advice but there isn't much you can do at this point. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]
Vikas0930 answered Monday May 22 2006, 10:04 pm: I have a sister and we fought constantly as kids. I am the younger sister and she and I are so close now that I'm 22 years old and she's 26 years old. I say try to find your own space where you can shut her out and turn on some music on a cd player. Someday you'll get along and she'll get less and less annoying as she grows up. Good luck.

helpmebrenda answered Monday May 22 2006, 9:40 pm: Hi
One of the best ways to burst the annoying siblings bubble is to ignore them. Not all the time of course, but when she is especially on your nerves, just pretend she isn't there.
Probably half her fun is to get a rise out you. She knows she annoys you, and you let her, so naturally she will continue to do so. If you ignore her, walk away, whatever, she will soon get the point.
Try it for a month and I bet you will notice a big difference.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that she looks up to you. You're her big sis. Maybe if you included her in your activities every once in a while, she would be more prone to leave you alone.
