I would discuss the problem with her and find out why she doesnt respect you....
If its something you feel like changing do it for the sake of your relationship.
If its something you feel doesnt need changing, then you need to make a choice to have you sister in your life or not.
Why associate with someone that doesnt respect you....just because you grew up with someone doesnt make them family
family are people that love you and support you no matter what, not people that pass judgement and put you down.
GOOD LUCK!

I kind of have that problem with my sister only I am the one that doesn't respect her. All I can do is love her and be there for her, no matter how much she screws up. She is 5 years older then me and is the most irresponsible person I know. She is supposed to be the person i look up to and go to about anything, but it's all turned around...I'm the one always bailing her out of sticky situations and I'm the one that always has to sacrifice what I've worked hard for just for her.
I think if someones sister doesn't respect them they should try a little harder to earn it because respect isn't something that you just give away.

I definitely am feeling you right now!!! I have been wrestling with this same problem for about two weeks. I know my sister loves me but I don't think she likes me. She hardly calls me. I have left her messages that sometimes never get returned. When I am around her I do not feel comfortable I feel as if she would rather be somewhere else. The topics of conversation seem to bore her. I can tell by her expressions and body language. The last time I went to visit her. My kids and I cried so hard when we left because we felt she rushed us out of her home so quick I felt dissed. I feel I need to talk to her, but the way she is she would rather make an excuse rather than hurt my feelings.
I think because I have gained so much weight lately may have something to do with it too. She is in the public eye. I embarrass myself. She is probably ashamed too. Well I cant blame her. I have decided to just live my life and not go out of my way to see her unless she ask me. and then i will limit my stay. it hurts too bad. but i gotta stop whining!!! I miss her and life is too short. Tomorrow she could be gone or me. The time lost will never be regained. good luck 2 U

Well im 21 with a 10 year old sister and as far as no she has no respect for me but she is still a child plus i can only imagine what she has hread her mother say about me considering my stepmother told a friend of hers i was a result of a one night stand right in front of me (which was total bull) so now and when she gets older i dont talk to or see her much. I dont see the point.

Respect is not a given thing, you have to earn respect. My sister respects me because I give her reason to, and vice versa.

give her a good big punch in the face,lol just kidding...um, you should try to show her you don't need her in your life if she's not gonna respect you. make loadsa plans for urself, like meet up with friends, get close to ur mum and dad, show her you couldnt give a damn, then she'll slowly start to respect you, trust me, good luck xxxx

I have th exact same problem. Sighh. Go to my account junk and look at the resolved question I asked, and see the best answer I picked. Just know this, I know how you feel, and there are probably lots of more people who feel like you.

just understand her .feeling ..
talk with her about nature ..
discuss with her about problems and ego ..
do not blame your sister always about this situation
if she is younger then you then talk with some common friends ..
if she is older then you then talk with your parent about this .
do not mess up with sister ..
try to find out solution.
because everybody is not lucky than you ,[because you have sister ]

I don't know if what area you are talking about or if your sister is an adult, so this is a tough one. If you are a christian, then pray for her. You might want to have a talk with her and tell her how you feel.

I ignore her. It's not like my world will stop spinning if I stop talking and seeing her, which is what I did. 10 years later she has finally turned herself around and we talk now. Blow her off until she can treat you right. Have a great day and good luck!!!
