My 15-year-old sister is horrible. I'm only two years younger than she is but she treats me like I'm some kind of slave to her or something. And it's all the time. I'm usually a really passive person about things like this, but I'm just downright sick of being forced to live with this kind of treatment from her.
I had my two friends, Rachel and Beth, over a couple nights ago and we went straight downstairs, keeping to ourselves, minding our own the whole time. Then my sister barrels down the stairs and yells at me in front of my friends because I didn't let the dogs in after they'd been let out. My sister called my dad and told him, "Dad, she hasn't been helping me all day and I've done all the work and her friends are so rude to me." Even though, for one, I'd done her AND my chores because she had threatened a phone call to dad.
And I believe that the only remark my friends had was "You could have just opened the door because you were already upstairs." and that's not rude at all. So then my dad came home and yelled at me in front of my friends, and guess what? They had to go home and I was grounded for a week. All because of my sister's lying.
And then I found out that my sister did some stuff with this college guy who never liked her anyway. So I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone and I never did. But she continues to treat me like she does.
She lies to my parents about so much stuff. I get in trouble for things I don't deserve to be in trouble for. And I can't tell them that she's lying because she denies it and they believe her because shes the 'mature' one and the older one.

And give her the look when she is telling on you and that will hopefully knock her back to her senses. And if this works wich will probably shell stop.
