Question

How can I ignore my older sister if I have anger issues?

Community Answer

When possible, try to avoid your sister. If you have to spend time with her, concentrate on something else, like a video game or movie, instead of interacting with her.

Question

What if your parents always side with your sister?

Community Answer

Take a step back from the situation and try to see if from your parents's perspective. Did you start the fight or take it to the extreme? Did you intentionally hurt your sister or overreact to her behavior? If yes, than your parents might have a valid reason to support your sister. If no, try to talk to your parents in private and explain the situation to them.

Question

What should I do when she embarrasses me?

Community Answer

When your sister teases you, don't retaliate. Let her know that she's hurt you and you intend to talk to your parents about it. Alternatively, you can play it off like it is no big deal—let her know that her teasing doesn't bother you.
