i have the same problem as you but i learned how to deal with it. when your sister says saomething bad about you, i wouldnt even give a smart comment back, i would ignore her and walk away, dont yell back because if you do, shes going to know your getting mad and do it even more.

f sshe says something like " your ugly" then just laugh at it and say "thanks" and walk away but dont be rude and dont let it get to you

and thers always karma.

dont let her get to you and ignore her, you guys are 3 years apart, if she keeps bothering you and teasing you, shes the baby, be the older person and ignore her.

hope i helped and good luck!(:

Trust me. Fighting will wear off. Me and my sister fight all the time. Fights are pretty much the stronghold of a healthy sibling realationship. Soon you'll realize how important you both are and you'll love eachother.R

look: you have to understand that your sister is going to have her moments. There will be times that you hate her with the passion; and other times you'll love her like it's your job. Just know that she will always need her space. I would know.. I'm the older sister living with the two little sisters in the room next to me. Talk to her one day she's not so busy or looks like she's in a good mood. Tell her that you care for her and that you don't mean for all the little things that get to her to happen. Tell her that you look up to her and that you'd like to have the relationship of two sisters. Not cats. <3 Hope i helped some. :)

talk to her about it. Tell her you need to speak with her about something really serious. And just empty your heart out to her. Cry if you have to. She is family. And you should be able to tell your family ANYTHING. Just tell her what's on your mind.

Most importantly, tell her you love her. and that you don't want to hate her and you don't like fighting with her.

If it doesn't work, then talk to your other sisters about this and see if they can help. Or ask your parents.

I always fought with my brother when I was younger. I finally grew out of it though. So you just need to stop. If she teases you, ignore it. She's picking fights with you and you're obviously gonna get mad but don't say anything because it will just get worse.
You could also try talking to her but if that doesn't work, just don't try fighting with her or don't say anything back when she makes fun of you.

Just ignore her and act like it doesnt bother you, dont fight back with her because then shes getting what she wants (for you to fight back) shell get tired eventually when you dont respond back to her and im sure shell quit teasing you

Sister rivalry is very difficult,. Fighting is normal between eachother. I am 5 years between me and my sister and we fought every single day when we were younger,. but now that we are older we dont fight and we get along,. it's just being young that fighting is normal when you get a little bit older you will be better friends and sisters.

Hope this helps:)

It's tough when your older sister is the one fighting with you. At fifteen, she's expected to be the mature one. But of course, teens have all those raging hormones and they can be really grouchy a lot of the time.

I would suggest trying to talk it out with her, in private. Getting other people involved would probably just make her defensive and even more irritated with you. Talk to her and tell her you don't want to fight with her. Tell her that her teasing bothers you, and when you yell at her it's because she's frustrated you to the breaking point and you don't know how to deal with it other than yelling back at her. Because really, we all snap sometimes when we get mad, and having someone tease you constantly is a pretty good reason to get upset. Even if the two of you don't become best friends or anything, maybe the two of you can at least stop fighting so often. And if you think she might not let you finish explaining (as in, cut you off at the beginning of your explanation to tease you more) you could try writing a letter and then talking to her after she reads it. At least then she'll probably hear everything you have to say before she can react to it in front of you.

Also, I will say again... Teenagers can be really moody creatures sometimes, and being rude to their family is a big part of that. Even if you fight now, she'll probably be nicer to you once she matures a little bit. I constantly fought with my parents when I was 14-17 years old, but now that I'm 19 we have a pretty decent relationship. If my relationship with my parents turned out okay, I'm sure the relationship with your sister can turn out okay, too.
