Find out what they like and dislike. Talk with them and see where they are coming from. Look at things from their prospective. Siblings will always argue..it is natural. Remember that they are guarding your back when push comes to shove. Your parents would not like to see you grow up hating one another. I have 4 sister's and one brother, when one of us really need the backing the rest are right behind. We may not like what, how and why each other lives but, we accept it cause we all live differently.

You Can't. If Siblings Got Along, The World Would Be Boring. That's The Way Things Work. Siblings Argue and Fight, And That Gives The Parents Something To Do...Break Up The Fights And Get The Kids In Trouble. See...Kids Fight...Parents Get Kids In Trouble...Kids Fight Again...Parents Get Kids In Even More Trouble...Kids Still Fight...Kids Get Grounded...Vicious Cycle, Isn't It???

All in all, sibling rivalry is normal...I have one younger sister and one younger brother so I know what "hating" a sibling feels like...liking a sibling? it's really not something you "learn" to do...It's a matter of loving them...deep down inside I am pretty sure you do...if it's a brand new baby what you're feeling maybe a twinge of jealousy...but in the end try talking to your parents about it...whether it's something your sibling did, didn't do, said or didn't say...it needs to be brought up with an adult, they can help to let you "learn" how to get along better with your sibling in the end.

Open communication helps. This will build trust.
Be a genuine friend. No matter how tough that might be, always be nice and tolerant and let your sibling be aware of that. Don't give up under pressure, and that will help them take notice that someone out there likes them.
Most siblings will do crazy things to get attention. Once someone in the family makes that a non-issue, they will too.

you dont. most siblings are designed to dislike each other..jk...not really, start by just being caring towards them in general. at first you should just stop making fun of them, you know, cut back on the little jabs and mean comment siblings make back and forth. another thing is to not always have to have the final word or the final punch, just because someone else starts the argument doesnt mean you have to end it. and also you can get a better relationship by just getting involved in their day to day life, ask them whats up after school and see how their day was, ask them about their problems and offer some solutions without sounding too much like a mom. trust me, my little sister was born last week and we already have so many problems to sort through together... jk, shes 13...and im 15. anyways, yeah thats pretty much it....

It's a gradual process. I mean, assuming your sibling(s) are close in age, you end up spending a huge chunk of your free time with them. I fought with my brother all the time, and somehow we sorted things out by the time he graduated. Eventually, you learn that they're not going away no matter how much you blame them for.
There's a great article in TIME about siblings, but I'm guessing you read it, and that's why you started this question.

Some people never get along with their siblings their entire lives. I have a little sister and we fight most of the time but find some thing to do together. Like watching TV with them. Try not to say things that will make them angry. Pretend that they're actually something valuable to you. In other words
Be good to eachother! ;)

It's easier to hate your sibling then like them. Do your best to look at the good things about them rather then their flaws Try finding something fun to do with them that is neutral so you both enjoy it. It is hard sometimes but they will always be there for better or worse.

I have some good advice, just try. I learned the hard way, it took my youngest sister's death to bring me and my sis close, and as well as you grow older and mature, you will become close and appreciate each other. There is always going to be some sibling rivalry!!!
