So I have huge problem. I'm almost 17 years old and I have a baby sister who is two and she's spoiled rotten. the problem is I can't do anything without her screwing it up. for example, today I had bought a present for one of the seniors on my softball team. we're supposed to turn them in tomorrow at senior night, so I wrapped the present and put it away, thinking that my sister never find it where I hid it. A half hour later my mom comes in and hands me the remains of what's left. Now I have nothing to give her and my baby sister is afraid to come near me because I yelled at her. and this kind of thing happens everyday, I come back and find my backpack completely empty and everything thrown out onto the floor and hallway. I don't know what to do.I get so mad when this happens, but todays the first time I've really lost it. I feel bad but I feel helpless. my house is tiny and there's only a couple of place to put things like presents or my backpack, and they're not very accessible. what should I do?

Put all of your things in your room, in your wardrobe or on top of it so that she cant reach.
Your sister is only two so she doesnt know right and wrong yet, you just have to be patient and when she does something wrong then tell her (in a way that she understands).
I know its frustrating but instead of yelling just talk to her or your parents.
When things get on top of you then go and see a friend or just go outside or in your bedroom away from her.
Hope this helps [ Shelly_x's advice column | Ask Shelly_x A Question ]
