Teenage Sister
Im 12 and my sister is 15. This might make me sound like a loser, but I feel really bad for my parents especially my mom because my sister, lets call jade for the rest of this question, gets in a bad mood really easily when my parents seem annoying to her and she absolutely makes no effort to hide it. She is always unreasonable and I need to make her listen to me. For example, she wants a new phone and she expects us to have unlimited money and to be able to buy it, but we don't and my parents(and me) don't trust her with a phone because she has broken 3 of them, and my sister acts like they are being unreasonable. I try my best to be patient with her whenever she gets mad about our parents because she is always unreasonable, but I once couldnt hold it in anymore and we got into a fight about why she doestnt deserve a phone. Another issue I have is that she expects me to be her servant, and she always makes me do stuff for her like get her water and put stuff away for her. If I dont, she gets in a bad mood and i would do anything to avoid that. Although, she is in a good mood alot but when she isnt I just cant handle it on the inside.She is really quick to judge my parents. I dont really want advice, I just really need to tell someone and I want someone to reply because I wanna feel heard, so thanks for reading.

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that your sister is being moody and inconsiderate/disrespectful. It's good that you're supportive of your parents, and understanding of their point of view. You don't sound like a loser, you sound like a good daughter (and a good sister!)
However, I think your sister's behavior is actually fairly "normal" given her age. She's going through puberty and there's a reason why teenagers are often labelled as brats - that's just how their hormones make them behave. I'm not trying to excuse her behavior, but it's a legitimate explanation, especially considering the fact that she's very moody. I was absolutely *horrible* at her age, and I felt very badly about it later. I STILL feel bad about my behavior when I was a teenager, but almost everyone gets that way.
Don't feel too down about it. Your sister loves you, but she can't really help how she feels right now. Just make sure she knows that you love and care about her, too.
Best of luck!
