A lot of times when people reach a certain point in their life (i.e. leaving your parents house, turning 18, moving to a new city) they feel (or create) an urge to do new or different things. Unless your sister is forcing you to do those things then you're just using that connection as a means to justify your actions. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to drink, have sex -or anything- to be around them. Decide your own values and act on them. [ Thietyp's advice column | Ask Thietyp A Question ]

Perhaps it's that you are scared of something and acting out. No one can answer that except you. You don't have to give your sister a reason beyond the old stand by of "I need some time to myself" and let that be it. It's kind of weird that your sister let you have sex with her GF. That's just strange. Being mad at your mom is normal. You are 19 and feel you are an adult and probably want to spread your wings a little and that's okay too. Just be sure to try and keep a relationship with your mother if you think it's something you want. I miss my mama everyday and I know I'll never get another day with her but I also know that no amount of time would be enough so cherish the time you do have.
Get a notebook and get somewhere quiet with just yourself--even if you have to check into a motel for the night and just start writing your emotions and feelings down. The order doesn't matter just write what you think of even if it's just random words. In a couple of days go back and re-read what you wrote and see if it helps you clear your mind and get your goals set for yourself. Then firmly set your goals in your mind and accomplish them.
