My younger sister is really smart. Her mind is really quick and her analytical skills are beyond normal. She has an answer for everything and gets As in classes she barely studies for ( I hate her for that). But those are only the classes she says she's interested in. Anything that requires a little more effort, she gives up and is satisfied with a lower grade ( although she could have easily gotten a better grade).
She's super lazy but people don't see that because she manages to be at the top of her class without any work. I feel it's going to hurt her in the long run. Is there any solution?

She's not lazy she is bored. Challenge her that is what she needs. Challenge with reward. Then you will see a different sister. Good luck. Exceptional people high or low IQ can be very annoying when it comes to getting a point across this system works for both. :-)

Birth Order should tell you what's going on. Since you are the older sibling, you have a different (more serious) outlook on life. Nothing will ever change the conditioning of your (or her) birth order. Face these issues now, and don't waste your energy trying to "fix" her, or make her more like you. Things are much easier for her because she has watched you cope with life. Be a great role model and live your life your way, but keep your focus on yourself. Her grades have nothing to do with you.

I can relate to your sister. In my opinion, she should be left alone. We have a short period of time to live, and if she enjoys the way she's currently living, I'd advise you to lay off. There aren't many things worse than forcing someone to complete useless assignments and work on mundane tasks until they have absolutely no interest in knowledge whatsoever. Grades mean nothing; they are numbers on paper. If her quality of life suits her interests, I'd let her alone.

Simple answer ....You can't.........if the motivation does not come from the inside it will always be short lived, the best you can do is be very supportive in anything she is interested in
You know I like Simple answers...often the best ....( not always though)
