you should be happy that she wants to copy you i mean all my sisters and i have differnent styles and its really cool and all but secretly it would be cool for them want to dress at least a little bit like me. really i look at my LITTLE sisters style and kinda dress like her at times. and she doesnt care. you shouldnt be flattered and my sisters and i sorta have the same friends too so who cares you cant stop her. so just go with it. maybe you guys will be best friends!

When people are growing up, they go through a process of trying to figure out who they are. And during that process most people find some kind of idol or person to look up to. It's really unfortunate a lot of people are called "posers" or "wannabes" or maybe even "fake". After trying a lot of different things, people start to figure out who they really are. And the funny thing about that is that the only way to find yourself is to like what you want to like and act how you want to act regardless of how other people react to that. So, in this case, your sister is probably not sure what she really likes yet and that's why she is borrowing ideas from you. But someday, she will start to express herself in her own unique way and until then you have to be patient. I also don't think you should tell not to copy you, because it will make her feel bad about herself and you don't want that. Anyways, just keep doing your thing and let her do hers and if she is hanging out with your friends, then just try your best to share and be kind to her. <3

You have to look at it like this...The sincerest compliment is to copy someone. Think about yourself..Why would you copy any person? Because you think they've got it going on. I know it is probably pissing you off because she is your older sister, so everyone might think you are the one copying her. The worst thing you can do is start complaining about it to all of your friends because you will probably come off as looking jealous, even though you're not. Try your best to take your sisters actions as a compliment. If she wears something that is your style, compliment her. If she hangs out with your friends, invite her. To keep the peace, you're going to have to think.."If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
