It sounds to me that you are more mature then most your age, and I am so glad that you have goals! People will always judge. That is what the "world" has come to. I hope that you stay the person you are, and all I can tell you is to be a good role model for your little sisters, maybe they won't be another statistic - a teenage mom.Have a great day, and take care.
ps . I know how it is with my nephew, sometimes, looks can be painful. But in my county I am know very well of my Good works,and my faithfuillness to God, and all that he has given me, so it don't hapen that often to me .

Where do you live where "everyone" expects you to get knocked up as a teenager? Unfortunately there isn't much you can do to prevent people from making ignorant assumptions about you and your sisters. Just stay responsible and focus on your goals in life. Perhaps others will see that you are not like many teenagers - they'll see that you are responsible and hard-working. Also some people who think you should be getting knocked up might just be jealous that you have your whole future ahead of you while they don't because they were less responsible than you.

The fact that you know that you should act more responsibly means you are much more mature than some other teenagers. And at fourteen, you shouldn't be smoking/drinking/getting pregnant anyway. Those things will come (hopefully not the smoking), enjoy your youth while you have it.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, your sisters grow up and it will stop on its own. It isn't really worth the hassle kicking up a stink about every single time.
The only people you should care about what they think are your family and close friends, because they should know you.
Continue to be you, don't bow to pressure!

That happens to me all the time. My neice is only 4 and I'm 15. When I'm out with her, peole always ask me if she's my child and I have to explain that she's my neice. I kinda think it's funny, but it can be annoying. I think the best thing you can do is just simply explain to them that they're not ur kids if they ask. Unless you wanna walk around with a sign that says 'these are not my kids!!' on it. ;) just relax hun.

when they ask say ' no dumass, they are my sisters'
i guess they would assume that becuase ur going with them to the store, supervising them, which could project the idea of you being a parent. if they didnt know your age they just might think your a mom who takes good care of her aging.

first get a grip - what difference does it make if someone thinks you have children
second chill - it's not their business so don't tell them anything or
third write down many many smartass answers to give to people that overstep their boundries
