Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I have an older brother who's in two bands. He's also an amazing actor, writer, speaker, son, friend, and as much as I used to hate saying this-- brother. On top of that, he too is very smart. Growing up I swore he had this magician that just granted him these talents. Everything he ever picked up, he perfected. I spent years hating him for it.
I was sort of living in his shadow, and doing my own thing, without my parents ever caring to acknowledge it. I wrote songs, and lyrics.. and hid them under my bed until one day I decided to type them out. Unfortunately, since my brother earned such good grades, he was given a computer-- the only computer in the house. Therefore, all my stuff was types there, where I left it. One day he called me down to his room, picked up his guitar, and half way through I realized he had written music to my lyrics.
We grew close after that-- because I realized that he saw what had been going on for years. He'd seen it too, and it eased my mind that all this time I had been jealous of someone who was more than willing to see what I had to offer.
Present your grades to your family. If that doesn't work, then don't stress yourself on it. You're their daughter, and they want you to do good-- and probably expect that you'll be as good as your sister. This isn't okay, of course. You and your sister are two different people, and they should know better then to think more of one of you then the other.
It's summer. Live it up. You're young, and too young, to believe that things aren't going to be okay. Don't stop with your studies, but DO stop with your worries. It sounds to me that you need to set your own goals, and not live up to what your sister is.
Be yourself, and show up the good grades, and let them all know that you work hard, because it sounds like you do.
Good luck. =)
