trying to impress
My sister has been trying so hard to impress everyone lately. She isn't even herself anymore, and she hasn't been for almost 2 years (she's 14). She spends days on myspace, facebook, and aim. She's become a typical fake teenaged girl who says "like" and "hilarious" every other word.
How do I deal with her?

you don't need to deal with her. You just need to talk to her. Maybe all she needs right now in her life is someone to talk to. You need to seriously talk to her and ask hernwhy she is doing all of this stuff. There has to be someone in her life that is keeping her from being the person that she obviously is inside. She might be suppressing her emotions and just hiding her real self. You must show her that hiding her true self is not the solution to being a better person. No one can change who they are, they are born a certain way, and no way of talking, clothing, make-0up, and friends will ever change that. Help her accept the real person inside of her. because trying to please others never works.

i've been there and it was "a way of growing up" for me.
it happened when i was 13
i know i'm only 14 and i have no right to give you information but she just needs to realise who she is
if could be:
*the people she hangs out with
*the peer presure
you can stop it by:
*talking to her
*pointing out the way she acts
*telling your mom and dad
*tell her to be herself

Yeah I think a lot of the other people here are correct- there isn't much you can do. The only thing is is that she WILL grow out of it. This whole 'wannabee teenager' thing is just symptomatic of the age. Man, my little brother and sister are like that. I was probably like that when I was their age. You probably might just have to wait it out (sorry). The advice I'd give is- treat her like an adult. You won't ever be able to talk her out of it (and she'll probably resent it) but you could always try to take the high ground. Treat her like a mature, self-aware person, and maybe she'll respond.

Ohh boyyy. Sounds exactly what my sister's going through too, except she's only 12. I hate it. Anyways, your options are...
-Try & Talk with her (This doesn't always work, it didn't really with my sister)
-Wait it out (May take a while)
-Or, if worse comes to worse, avoid her.
Those are the only possible options I can think of,
Good luck with this.

My sister is JUST like that! She begs her parents to buy her clothes at Abercrombie when my parents don't even have the money. I asked her why she wants to shop there and she goes, "Because everyone else is." Some of Abercrombie's clothes have very shallow words on them and it used to be a racist store (but it's not any more because business started to suck.) It's horrible, isn't it? I want her past self back as well, but it's her personality and mind that you really can't do anything about it, other than convince her that being a fake person is just... stupid and wrong. If that doesn't work, you just have to watch her turn into one of those plastic people that we see so much of on this world.
I couldn't change my sister back to her old self either... I just ignore her and not talk to her. There isn't really anything to do, but that. I have to deal with the same thing. The best thing you can do is not to turn into a wannabe faker yourself!
Hope I've helped
