Tell her how you feel. Be honest with her. If you don’t want to be that bold, be honest with specific things like, “I don’t like it when you criticize my poetry,” or “I don’t like it when you call me that.” Using this strategy, called the “I” strategy, gives the person a chance to be put in your shoes, otherwise known as empathy. Besides that, understand that everyone has there tough times. You may want to talk to her and ask her what’s the matter, and then you could find ways to help her. Or simply act kinder towards her, helping around the house, helping your siblings, asking her if she needs any help. This will take a bunch of stress of her shoulders AND you will look really good ;P Good luck! Hope I helped! tigerlover101
