You should ask your family doctor to have a private talk with her about her weight - if it really is a serious problem. He can explain the health consequences of being overweight at a young age. She already knows the social consequences. Kids are unbelievably cruel.
You do not need to reinforce the rude comments I'm sure she already hears. Lowering someone's self esteem and making them feel bad does not make them fix a problem. I mean, I could go on a tirade here about what a jerk you are for way you posted this question and berate you for thousands of words about how you should learn a little compassion, but it wouldn't make you change, would it?
IF your sister really does have a weight problem, encourage her - don't put her down. Go outside and play with her so she can get some exercise. Don't eat junk food in front of her. Treat her with some respect.

Yes I think your telling her to be more like a young Doe is not a bad thing but you might need to be more understanding of her feelings too. Ask her how you might help her become more what our society conciders beautiful. Tell her you really love her as close families do and want her to be happier about her self in future. Maybe she is still too young socialy to see the reason to be what you want her to be. Talk about what you see as a problem with the rest of your family to see if everyone needs to eat healthier. If the fattening food was not easily available in your home then she might loose the weight she needs to loose. Loosing weight is not easy in the first place but if fat and sweets are around it is impossable, If you can get the rest of your family to go along with your desire to help your sister, you will definately be her hero as she looses weight and becomes the more desirable young lady I know both you and her want her to be. As an added bonus your whole family will be healthier too.

Whatever you do, do not tell her that she looks like a pig. It's bad enough that kids these days are cruel. Trust me, I have 3 brothers who decided to make it their lifes mission to tell me every second of every day that I was fat. I went through a stage of depression because it hurts. What helped me loose my weight was the support of my family and friends, not being ridiculed for being overweight. Try offering to go to the gym with her. Offer to take her out to dinner. If you don't feel comfortable with telling your sister she is overweight, have someone else speak with her about. Maybe another sister or your mom. Good Luck!

In the end calling your sister names and making her feel poorly about herself will only backfire; not to mention it may create a great deal of distance between the two of you. You may not think so now, but you'll come to wish you hadn't hurt her so much when you get older.
Try just backing off for a bit...Once everyone calms down a bit, let her know that you're not trying to be mean, but that you are concerned for her welfare. That her weight is not healthy for her. Encourage her. Offer to work out with her....etc...

It also depends on what your define as a "pig", which is a horrible way to address your sister in the first place! As long as she is healthy and not obese, why worry?
If she is obese, encourage her by setting active and healthy examples yourself. Empathize, don't moralize. Invite her out to walk, or do some other healthy activity with you.
Berating her will only cause her self esteem to dwindle and cause more problems, like more overeating and other self destructive activities.

Don't you know that girls don't take advice from their brothers? Especially if you're the older brother. You could tell her her hair's on fire and she wouldn't believe you if it was. Sounds like she's turned you off like a radio. Besides, no one wants to be verbally abused with that kind of trash tossed at them on a regular basis. How do I know all this? I'm the little sister that was pounded on and called fat names by my siblings. Did it make ME want to change? No way. It made things worse because I became depressed at their treatment. If you want to make a difference in anyone's life, speak kindly to them. Throwing hateful words at her will just drive her away from you, stopping any kind of a good relationship with her, and making it impossible for you to make a difference in her life in any way. First of all, tell her you're sorry for calling her names. Tell her that you really care about her and just used those words, hoping to shock her into doing something. And now you realize it was wrong for you to do so. Develop a friendly relationship with her, showing her that you care about her feelings. Soon, she'll listen to you, knowing that you truly care about how she looks. Let her know that, being a guy, you know what guys like. You'll be able to share with her something very special, that she would have to find out by accident. Us gals want to understand you fellas better, so having a brother who knows about guys and is willing to share is a wonderful gift you can give your sister. I'm pretty sure that, with all this attention (that she so desperately needs), you'll see a difference. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. What's the worst thing that can happen? I guess she could just blow you off. But a gentle voice always works, in time. <*)))><

You need to be careful about the way you approach your sister concerning her weight. Young girls are very sensitive about this. The best thing you can do is model good eating habits and excercise. If she sees that her cool older brother thinks this stuff is important, she might change her habits.
P.S. don't ever EVER use a pig in reference to her. You're liable to cut off all her good opinion forever.

Just leave her alone... she probably knows that you think poorly of her looks, and she may not like them either. If you want to do something really nice for her, like offering to go biking or whatever kind of excercise with her, or cook her a healthy meal, or take her to a beauty parlor, that's fine. But never tell a girl that she is fat or ugly. That's just asking for a nuclear apocolypse!

Leave your sister alone and learn that family is everything when she is ready to change whatever she will, and be for sure that she will receive her fair share of abuse from others and she will needs someone on her side and not a family member abusing her even more. And what you should be doing is preparing to protect her from the abuse she will receive from other..... P.S. So why don't you become part of the solution rather than part of the problem you STUPID IDIOT............

Comment on the positive for a long time and she will recover from the damage that caused her to care so little.

Could be she is a genius. They tend to be sloppy.
