How can I get my older sister to treat me better?

I have the same problems only we dont speak whatsoever. the last time we had a conversation was about 4 years ago. the problems is my mum also sticks up for her and I hate it. I found your question because right now im sat isolated from my family and thats her fault. she took the mick out of me infront of everyone and my boyfriend and when I tried to retaliate my mum lied for her and made up more bullshit. and that always happens.I feel my whole family is ganging up on me and I dont know what to do. shes 25 almost and she still says things behinds my mums back and accuses me of other things. the only solution I can think of now is taking a pair of scissors to her clothes. seriously. my family dont talk to me because of her as it is. so what difference will it make?

you’re 18 n im 15, taking advice from me might be weird, but have you considered telling her this, asking why she acts the way she does? letting her know exactly how you feel when she puts you down like this.

well i hope helped a bit. but if i didnt, im sorry i couldnt

Yeah, I also kinda have a similar problem. My sister is 6 years older that me, and she always gets all the attention, she’s really popular and clever. Plus im a guy so i really doubt she’s jealous of anything. But appartantly she sometimes mentions times when i was younger, i used to be irratating. I think maybe this image of me is still in her head. Maybe if you really try to get on with your sister and give her compliments and stuff(spend time with her), you’ll start to get along. She might also give out hints about what she doesn’t like about you sub-consiously, they’ll probably be out of proportion but they might give you an idea about what she doesn’t like about you, like my sister always calls me irratating and noisy, even though im always really quiet when she’s around and stuff ;( . -Plz let me know if any of this helps d(^.^)b -snowman8888

For a few years (literally) I didn’t talk to my bother. However, we get along reasonably well now. We’re much closer in age than you & your sister are, however, with family it can be hard, no matter what you do.

“You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family”.

If possible, hang out with your friends more & consult them on more serious issues, and leave your sister out of it. Perhaps she needs space to grow up & realize your not a kid anymore, and that, in turn, will make her realize that she’s been acting childish herself.

wow these people leave some pertty long answers
