How can help my 15 year old sister but im only 18??

Hey, crush There are plenty of countries in this world that are not at war with anyone. In fact, most European countries are safer (lower crime rate) to live in, than some US states. :-P

lokis: Talk to your parents. If your sister is abroad, they have no way of checkin’ what she’s doing. A fifteen-year-old can behave badly anywhere. And if she’s 4000 miles from home, how will they even notice?

Talk to your sister, tell her to stop behaving that way. Or at least to do it where your parents don’t notice. Ask her why she does it.

On the other hand, a year abroad is a great thing to do. You can learn a foreign language, you can make friends out there, you get to know another country. It will probably be good for her. Lots of kids would volunteer for this. If you can’t convince your parents to let your sis stay at home, talk to your sis. Get information on the web about other countries. And pick one she’d like to know. I recommend all of Europe. (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Austria and the UK). I don’t know about South America, but some places there seem fine, too. Chile and Argentina are said to be good places to visit. A friend of mine was in Australia for half a year. She was happy there. There are fine student exchange programs. Then you might be able to talk your parents into sending her into a good place at least.

Tell your sis, that buying beer and wine is legal in Germany at the age of 16 (18 for strong liquor). Tell your sis, that all of Europe has very high population density. Means you are always close to the next party. You can go shopping even without a car. Just use public transport. Every sleepy, rural village in Europe has public transport.
