Having an older sister can be tough sometimes, right? Besides the little fights and squabbles and things, she also gets to do almost EVERYTHING before I do! Like, she’s in high school right now, so she’s always talking about all the cool stuff they do there, like clubs, dances, and pep rallies, and how you have so much more independence as a high schooler. I know I’ll get there someday, but in the meantime, I’m super jealous.
So, imagine how I felt when Elena Maria started dating. All of a sudden, my sister wasn’t around as often to just hang out, watch movies, and do crafts together—like we used to. Sometimes, she’ll even have a boy over to do homework together at the kitchen table. Or, she’ll be going to the movies with a group of friends (including the boy she likes) to see a film I really want to watch!
You Tell Us ...
As her “little” sister (I hate being called that!), what should I do? How can I stay involved in her life? I miss my big sister!
K so i have lotsa friends(30-40) and me and my bff do almost everything together. we have this other friend that we met last year and she always hangs out with us. wheres the problem? well she always stands next to me or wants to sit by me. theres nothing wrong with it but it gets a little annoying at times. i dont wanna hurt her feelings but if u knew her, u would know what im talking bout. so help. plz.
dancerchick12 you should totally savor this time with your little sis because if she wants to hang out with you and your friends then that means she really respects you and thinks you are the coolest. Be a good influence on her and love her lots ...krazykate
The reason why can't stay in her life is because she wants a lil room and can't take everything in at once. Take that from the one who knows the oldest out of 4!
i have 5 sisters in college and they always talk about how i am spoiled, and i am a brat and i am not as smart as them, but when i am with them they act really nice to me. how can i prove that im not as bad as they think i am, in a way that doesnt let them know that ive been spying on them??!!!
hey, that is good advice well we do spend sum times together it is just that my sister is always kinda well hogging my mom lol and whenever i try to talk to her my sister just butts in and is like this my mom and i get so mad and i do admit that i am kinda a daddys girl
wel at first me and my sister didnt get alone so i tried ignoreing her like not talkin to her in tell she talk to me and i told her i missed her and i want to hang out and itold her herts that we do not spin time together and from then we ben friends
I am the only girl in my family i have four brothers but I do have four girl cousins but they are younger then me so I look up to my mom!I take time at night to talk and stuff like that and we do stuff together like we go shopping and we like a lot of the same things so maybe you can spend some time with your mom I'm sure she would like it and I bet you will too
thnks i luv jesus that is great advice!!! its just i wish that we were a little closer in age cuz i just turned ten a couple of months ago and she is just four and i know i am her rolemodel but i think i am reacting this way cuz i dont have a older sister to look up too!!!!! what should i do i want a older sis or at least sumone to look up to but i know that is never going to happen so can you help me with that too???????????
dancerchick12 what i think you should do try not to look down on her as an annoying little sister but try to think of her as a friend!She won't be little for long and you should enjoy her now while she's little take time to show her you love her and care for her I have one younger brother and three older brothers and we used to play together all the time but now we are a little older we don't do ANYTHING together and I really miss that so try to enjoy her while shes little and try to remember this:You may not always have her
i have a lil sis and she is four and she has to do everything that i do it is so annoying cuz i cant have friends over without her thinking that she can join in and that she is there friend to and i am kinda sick of aww your sis is so cute lets play with her well i want my friends to play with me and i have tried to talk to my parents and they just say aww you r her rolemodel but i think that she can back down a lil help what should i do?
who else is the youngest here? cuz im the last of 5!!!!!!!!!!!3 sisters and 1 bro!!! i actuallt hate it sometimes when im the youngest! i only like being the youngest because i get lots of stuff!!!!
Im the baby of the family Im 9 I will be 10 in October My sister is 16 and brother is 20 I have personality that stands out im never claimed as her little sister Im called by my name so just dont stand in the shadow dont take that say my name is this this this
when you need advice you can always count on me for advice because i know exactly how you feel. so when you need advice let me know so i can text you back.
girl, i know EXACTLY how u feel! i m the oldest (n wiseset:-) n my lil sis (she's now 9) doesnt stop clinging!!!! if i want personal "me" time, i shut my door n tell my mom i need "alone time" then she usually helps me out by distracting my sister with something else 2 do like a board game. it helps if u first talk 2 ur mom (alone) about how now that ur older, u need a little space. i m especially lucky bcaus my mom was the oldest so she says she knows how i feel. good luck;-) xoxo
a good way to stay in ur big sisters life is let her know ur feelings and try to make time u and ur sister to just spend time with each other doing sister stuff that will help a lot!
in this case, im the big sister, so i dont really know how it feels to be the little one. but i do know how it feels to have a little sister trying to cling on to you. my sister is 8 years old and she copies my ever move! my mom keeps telling me that she only wants to hang out with me so much because she loves me, but i wish she would lay off!!!! i mean, she's my sister, and of course i love her, but does she really have to barge into my room when i'm with friends and tag along on everything i do?!?! my mom says that when we're older, we will both want to spend time together, so i guess that all big sisters get over the stage of trying to push the little one out of their life...but sometimes i wish my sister would picture herself in my shoes!
i have two older sisters. im the baby. you know, it's like my family is cursed with girls. my oldest sister (we'll call her "A") had a baby a year and a half ago and it's a girl! and when my dad got divorced from my mom and got another wife, their baby was a girl! anyway, my sisters are grown up and always busy with college, jobs, boys, and shopping, but i stay close to them by texting and talking on the phone, to see what their up to.
I know older sisters can be a pain but trust me there are far more better than older brothers. I have one and he's a nightmare. He's always stuck in his room on the laptop or on his wii 24/7!!! Just count yourselfs lucky you don't have an older brother!!!
Everyone says that the youngest always gets spoiled, but that is so not true! If anyone get's spoiled, it's one of my sisters! /www.beaconstreetgirls.com/components/com_jomcomment/smilies/wink.gif" title="wink" alt="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Tell her how you feel. find a day when shes not busy and before she makes plans inivte her to do something with you
The reason why can't stay in her life is because she wants a lil room and can't take everything in at once. Take that from the one who knows the oldest out of 4!
wow all of you have great advice thnks alot and kiko maybe talk to them about how you feel and prove that you are not a brat
Maybe u 2 can put aside a day or 2 a month to just hang out. Maybe u can screen the calls of the people u know so y'all won't be interupted.

for people who say yougest kids are the luckiest... let me shed some lite on the subject,
1. parents figure out how to deal with teenagers with the oldest kid that makes baby hav off limits and has to wait longer
2.boyfriends hav more rules and dont start for a few years after older sister gets hers
3.older sisters are luckier cause they can giv u advice and make u feel better!!!!
(trust me i know wat im talkin bout)
dear friends,
when you need advice you can always count on me for advice because i know exactly how you feel. so when you need advice let me know so i can text you back.

I agree with you Preciousariel. I think you should sit her down in private and explain to her why it bothers you so much and ask her to stop.
Yalk to her in private and let her know how you feel.
a good way to stay in ur big sisters life is let her know ur feelings and try to make time u and ur sister to just spend time with each other doing sister stuff that will help a lot!
