Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
first, you should try talking to your sister about it. tell her you love hanging out with her, but sometimes you need a break. say it in the nicest way possible - she probably feels the same way about you. also, for exampl, say you're going to the movies with your friends, and she wants to go along. instead, ask her to invite a couple of her own friends. you can still see the same movie, but sit a couple rows apart. gradually do things like that, and she'll get the hint..
you could als try explaining this to your friends, as well. say something like, "i know she's cool, but i don't want her with us everywhere.. i hang out with her 24/7 at home." it's true too - they may only see your sister when you go out, but you have to see her all the time, and it's understandable that you want seperate friends from your sister. if they have siblings, they should understand. chances are, they don't even know it's bothering you! [= talk to your sister & them, and it should work out. if not, try making plans with them on days you know your sister is busy, to gradually push her away from your friends.

Try and help her find younger friends and also tell her that you'd like to just hang out with your friends. But maybe once or twice on occassion bring your sister with you and your friends to show her that your not being mean or anything:) Hope I helped and good wishes to you dear:)
