I can see why she's treating you like this though. even though she says she doesnt care about you, she really does. she doesnt want the same thing that happened to your sister to happen to you. which is why she is keeping you from talking to anyone and having a life. Its a good thing that she cares about you and doesnt want anything bad to happen to you, but the method she is using is very wrong. what you need to do is talk to her and ask her why she is treating you like this. you need to explain to her that you have learned your lesson by observing what your sister has done and that you are not going to turn out like her. She may not know it, but locking you up from having a life is actually making things worse. because how does she expect you to grow up if you cant handle things on your own. She is going to let you grow up eventually and by keeping you like this, its just going to be a very bad experience. you need to tell her that you should be out in the world, getting prepared for the future and experimenting new things. because otherwise how do you expect to grow up and be an adult in the future???
if all else fails, talk to your sister about it and maybe she can help.
