Answer 1

do something u both enjoy or do some girl stuff

Answer 2

Right now you two are at the perfect ages for sibling rivalry because your still "a little brat" and she's "all grown up". Yeah, well that won't last much longer. Time heals all wounds. But who wants to wait, right? You're already off to a good start by wanting to have peace with her. Although you only see each other every other weekend, try to make the best of your time together. I'm guessing that you have your agenda and she has hers and there's not much time spent together even on these weekends. Whatever the case, you have to play nice. Whatever you do, don't suck up to her, but at the same time, don't write her off as a tyrant either. Remember, you ARE her little sister. That's the way she sees it. Be conciliatory and be patient. Yeah, I know it sucks but it's for the greater good.

Answer 3

I am the older sister and we are 25 months apart and we fought regularly until we moved out. Now both of us have moved out and because we don't see each other very often we get along a lot better. Most of the time we talk online even though we live in the same city still.

Find something you both share an interest in and make it an activity you can do together when you have time together.

Answer 4

well tell her how you feel, tell her that she hurts your feelings when shes mean to you. at her age and yours its hard to get along with sisters. i know cause i have two and im the middle.but that's all over with now that we're older, but you just need to talk to her. maybe fine some thing you both can do together, play a game on how many things you know about each other. but thats all i can think of. sorry, hope every thing turns out ok.

Answer 5

I have four older sisters and we pretty much get along just fine. the one before me has been my best friend my whole life and we're over four years apart.

The best way to get along with your sister is find something you have in common. Try to set up a special time for you two to spend together at least once a week. Age doesn't have to get in the way if you're both having fun.

Answer 6

Big sisters are next to impossible. I'm not sure why perhaps it's jealousy maybe it's the bossy thing going on but for some reason we all have to grin and bare it. For me.....keeping my distance and limiting my need to inter ac with her helped allot. Perhaps let her approach you for discussions or invitations to do whatever. Do your own thing.....be happy, and like who you are. She'll get over this phase but sometimes it takes until there out of the house and married. Remember...it's not your problem - It's hers.

Answer 7

easy i am an older sister and if my little sister got a life of her on and quit trying to be my friend or stood up to me when i was mean and quit being immature then i would get along great with her.......and if that doesnt help do what ever she says or give her space she will be sorry she was mean to u when ya'll guys are older

Answer 8

I have 4 sisters, 3older than me. and it was hard to get along. its what sisters do.
try asking her that you want to be friends, or set up a time or place you 2 could go.
put a post it note on her mirror and ask if she would like to be friends and do something together.
this will be hard because she is trying to figure who she is :she is teen but getting ready to be a woman, might just give her space and time if she dont want to right now.

Answer 9

That would be tough! Family is way important! Me and my sister had a hard time during high school and jr high. But as we got older we have gotten alot closer! she has just gotten married and i don't see her alot but we still talk alot. ps. i'm a guy. It will get better with time. most things do

Answer 10

well, it seems pretty easy considering you see her everyother weekend. Stay out of her space. Just be there when she needs you. If she dosnt really want to be friends with you, don put the effort into it.

Answer 11

ask her for her advice on somethings that are personal. show her that you trust her and be nice to her...even when she's mean to you. if you don't know how she'll react, don't tell her something that would get you in trouble if she told anyone else. having an older sibling to talk to about your problems REALLY REALLY helps.
