little sister
hey, im 17 and i have a 9 year old little sister. she's literally the biggest brat i know. i just want to help her. she's really beautiful, but i'm worried that when she gets older, things aren't going to go so well for her unless she learns how to respect and listen to her elders. she has adhd and has ocd. if things aren't going her way, she throws a tempertantrum, and when people tell her not to do something. she pushes their button and takes it too far. im also worried about how she's doing in school. i believe she's one of the smartest kids i know, but she's so ignorant. when it comes to learning, she gets too aggrivated and gives up. so now she just hates learning and doesn't listen when anyone who is trying to teach her something important. also she has a problem with keeping up with her stuff and a problem with putting things back the way they were istead she ignores it and does what she wants. it seems to me she has no motivation or drive to improve, all she's interested in is having fun and getting what she wants. all i want to know is: what can i do to help her?
i thought about briving her, but i don't know if that's a good idea.

Hi,
Being a bigger sister really is a job. I have four younger siblings, and my youngest sister is also nine. I've learned (well...I'm still learning) that there is a line between parent and sister. Your concern is completely justified...it's just natural to want to help your sister. I think it may be a good idea to try to calmly talk to your parents about what worries you. As far as what you can do, try to bond with her doing random activities. If you're seventeen, then she's bound to look up to you or think some of the things you do are cool. Try to do "grown up" fun stuff with her. When your bond is stronger, maybe she'll follow your good example more often.
Hope I helped,
Ann

well you can try to encourage her to become a better person. talk to her about the importance about school and about being respectful. she might listen. maybe she's just afraid of what life of ahead of her. and maybe she needs some time to think about stuff. show her what it takes to become a responsible and respectful person. you're her older sibling so you should try to encourage her. talk to her about it and maybe she'll listen. oh and when you talk to her about it, and if she says that she don't know if she can do that then tell her that she's not alone and that you believe in her. I'm a little sister myself.
-hoped I helped:)
