My sister turned 18 last summer and then spent 6 months in Europe. WHile she was away, we were joined by a foreign exchange student from germany who is living in her old bedroom. The He and I are both 16 so we have a similar mindset and we agree that eversince my sister has returned, she thinks that she is an adult. Legally she is an adult, but I dont think it is very mature to constantly tell your guest and little sister that they are "soooooo immature". Plus, we hate her stupid ditzy friends.
I have never had a very good relationship with my sister, and quite honestly i have always felt that she is an idiot. Now she goes to community college and I am in all honors in my highschool.
She drives me crazy,i hate her so much, she always nags German boy and I, and I honestly cannot wait for her to move out.
Question:
how can i talk to my sister about how she rubs off on people and convince her to move out?
or at least get her to stop nagging me, it drives me crazy....
When somebody turns 18, you may begint to feel that you're more 'adultish' and want to show that you're maturer by comparing yourself to people younger than you. I do that...sometimes!! By saying they're immature, you put yourself higher than they are and you get a sense of...power and control. This is what your sister is experiancing and she may be getting a kick out of it. I don't know what your sister is like, only you do.
I wouldn't talk to your sister about it becasue the likely hood is that nothing will change... but if you talk to your PARENTS about it, then something can happen, they can have an adult conversation with her and ask her to stop.
Sibling Rivalry is common in most households and sometimes they can work through it and get along well or they hate each other for the rest of their lives. Don't go and do something which could end up you hating her for the rest of your life (and visa versa).

You, you know so much that you want to control your sister and her life. She, she knows so much that she thinks she knows what maturity is and that you don't have any, (still a controling attitude).

maybe she only nags you because she knows it bothers you and she gets pleasure out of it..
just ignore it and pretend you dont mind...soon enough she will get bored and leave you alone
