Answer 1

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX The internet not only put relationships in jeopardy, it also ruins families, marriages and many, many lives. Sit down with your sister. Come to a compromise with her. You both can work something out where the two of you are happy. Don't hog the computer, share it and spend time together. Nothing is worth losing the respect of someone you love and who loves you. Good luck hun. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

Answer 2

The Internet can be both good and bad in that it allows communication but without identity and makes it more impersonal. You are blood and close to this person that in many ways shares many traits with you. Even best friends can become worst enemy's and in the same way people that love each other most and marry one day hate each other also greater than anyone else in divorce at some point later. What is it about relationships that causes this? Communication is important no matter what the relationship and honesty is right up there with it. Pick up the phone and talk sometime and when you do don't go into a conversation with the attitude that you are right but be willing to consider the other persons opinion and point of view. Cuts run deep and are hard to forget but love and understanding can overcome anything. Identify your common points of agreement agree that at times you will disagree but that what's important is that you are closer to each other than any two strangers. Be honest with her about your concern that you are drifting apart and even if it is so tell her your desire to stop the drift and reconcile and ask her what her opinion is and respect her enough to listen even if you disagree. Good luck on this one.

Answer 3

No you are not being stupid. It is great that you enjoy your sister's company to the point that you have noticed. Most sister could care less about their siblings at least early in life. Talk with your sister and tell her the internet is not that great of a tool unless you need it for research or a quick e-mail. Remind her of how much fun you two use to have together and tell her that a computer should be in small doses. To many spend hours on the internet forgetting that life is passing them by. Tell her there is a lot to do, so you two need to get out in the real world and do it. The only thing she will accomplish sitting at home on the computer is she will lose real friends, she will miss out on a lot of fun and she will miss out on thr REAL world. Life was much simpler years ago before computers and believe me a lot more productive and happier. Now go and re claim your sister. Good luck.

Answer 4

Okay, first of all, the internet can cause some problems, like who gets to use it and how long they can be on. Talk to your parents and set up a time table or limit for how much time can be spent on the internet. If you think that your quality time with your sister is being compromised by the internet, this time limit will also solve that. Make sure your parents enforce it: if you do, it may cause more problems
Now here's wat I dont get: How is the internet causing problems? Do you think she/you are is/are learning bad things and using them against the other sister? The best thing to do is to talk to your sister and maybe your parents about what you're feeling. You may be able to come up with some creative solutions.
Take it from me, being the middle of three girls. It is never easy. You just can't be afraid of telling her what's on your mind.

Answer 5

Well if you're arguing about the use of the internet just do what me and my sister do. We each play for a certain amount of time and then it is the others turn once that time is up. Most of the time it helps prevent or at least cut down on the arguing.

Answer 6

Ok its the internet she is prolly doing the same things on the internet you are just chill out. I think there might be something else b/c just fighting bout the internet is kinda stupid. There might be some tension between you guys that u need to work out on the sidee

Answer 7

Sorry to hear you & your sister are having problems.
The internet can be addicting and it can alienate you
from friends and family because you're spending all
this time on the internet. You can lose social skills
and communication can break down between you
and others who are important to you. Many people
substitute friends online for real life friendships.
Suggest you and your sister do something together
like go roller skating, play putt-putt golf, get out of the
house together, to do something active, not passive.
Passive things are when you're just sitting and watching
like going to the movies. Suggest she go swimming with
you and try to wean yourselves from the internet. After
all, it's summer and before you know it, school will be
back in session--enjoy your summer! go bicycling!
hiking! camping!

Answer 8

well i have three sisters, and at times we will argue over stuff, but when it comes down to it we always stick up for each other and stick together. If you arguing over who get to use the Internet first just make set times for each other to use it. Trust me you will have arguments with you sister but that will not drive you apart.

Answer 9

Try to sit and talk to her. Let her know that the Internet is pulling you all apart. Find some you both can do on the computer at the same time . You both can decide and take turn.

Answer 10

I suggest you talk with your sister and tell her how you feel. Explain to her your observation since the internet became a part of your lives. Suggest to her that the both of you spend less time on the internet and spend more time together.
