Me and my sister are both teenage girls, 15 and 16. We butt heads on a daily basis. We fight at least twice a day, and by fight I mean physically and definitely emotionally. We've physcially fought so badly that we leave bruises, marks and scratches on each other. Emotionally is the worst though. She has no idea that everything she says to me/calls me hurts me so badly. As my older sister everyone expects us to fight, but this type of fighting is over the line. We fight twice a day, at least!
We're past the point of working it out, our parents have tried everything. And honestly I'm sick of crying everyday.
What do I do? And please don't say ignore her, that NEVER works.

Try to get out of the house as much as possible for a couple of weeks if possible. Remember that whatever she says is out of anger and she doesn't really feel this way about you. She may just be saying these things to get back at you for the things you've said to her during the fight too. Whenever you and your sister begin to fight try to think of her with a little umbrella hat on doing crazy karattee moves and doing the robot. It should definitely help because you will be able to block out the things she's saying and it will be amusing to know she has no idea what you're thinking. Now I'm not saying to secretly make fun of your sister at all but it will help you to prevent a fight and she will appreciate that you're trying. Or just try thinking of her going blah blah blah while she's talking. This way nothing will get physical and you'll be in a much happier mood. I really hope this helped and good luck! =) [ chrissabelle37's advice column | Ask chrissabelle37 A Question ]
