Ok, I am the oldest of my two brothers. I am female who is 18, and my younger brothers are both males, 17 and 16. I have a problem because we got into a recent arguement and now my brothers are saying that,"Oh, they don't want to respect me, and they're not going to from now on." But in the past they have respected me with no problems. Now we are constantly arguing, whenever I tell them to do something, they won't do it. My parents told me not to worry, so right now my bros and I are not speaking. What should I do? Beause I'm an adult right now, so if this continues, then I wont have brothers in the future who will want to associate with their older sister.

Your brothers will grow up to love you no matter what. Just be yourself and be the "leader". Your brothers will appreciate you in the future.

Why are you trying to tell them what to do? That's your parents job, not yours and even though you are technically an adult, your brothers only see you as their sister. At their age they don't want to be told what to do by anyone. Frankly, you don't have the right to tell them what to do and as far as respect goes, it is a two way street. You have to give respect to get respect.

You're worrying way too much about this. Its a phase you and them are going through and it will pass. My brother and I fought all the time and now we are great friends. They will grow to see they are acting like jerks and beg you forgiveness one day.

teenage boys are "weird" don't worry and if they don't listen to you then tell mom and they will have to listen to her. when you move out and spend time apart they will grow up (hopefully) and learn to respect you to your face again.. they still respect you but don't want you or anyone else to know right now... like i said boys are "weird"

Sibling rivalries are normal, and some emerge later than others, it's nothing to worry about.
