I have a sister who's 4 yrs older than me....sometimes we get along just fine. Other times I realise that we have almost nothing in common and that really puts me in an uncomfortable situation with her...sometimes I even start an argument. Both of us have different characters but don't they say sisters should stick together? I'm afraid when we get older we'll end up arguing more and more to the point were we won't speak to each other. She's my sister, she's always been there for me and i don't want us to fall apart....any suggestions?

Even though i am the only child i have seen a lot of sisters and brothers and from my experience i know that most of them fight when they are young and later on learn to appreciate one another. I guess its just a matter of growing up and seeing what's important in life. Of course any kind of relationship is hard work, be it love relationship or brotherly love. If you want to have a good relationship with your sister learn to appreciate her, trust her and most importantly love her and always try to be there for her... All the best for the future... :)

I have three sisters. Two are 5 years and 2 years older then me and the last one is 2 years younger than me. We constantly fight all the times and sometimes we even cause the other person to cry. But, I know by the end of the day they'll always be there for me and me for them. You just gotta ask yourself if you guys love each other enough to look past the bad things and still continue to be there for one another. I guess it's healthy to fight and love, since wouldn't it be so boring if all day you would just smile at the other person and talk about the weather? Sisters don't always have to like the same things by the way and there'll be times when you will disagree. But be strong and smile, because it should be worth it.

This is just natural I used to have the same thing and all my friends that have sisters have had this one to deal with.
You don't have to get along with your sister all the time, if you are anything like my sister and I one day we would be getting on famously and the next day will would be a each others throats its just a part of growing. The thing is you will always be there for each other, because sisters have a particular bond, and you won't feel it now. But when one of you moves out or gets married this is when you will find out just how strong that sister bond is.
When I moved out of home to go off to University this is when I found out just how strong the bond was as she would come and visit me and when we would go out we'd get on so well, in fact it was the best that we'd ever got on.
You will find that when the two of you are no longer seeing each other as often, just how well you will get on. Now I find that I talk to my sister more than I ever did when ever lived at home and I can now really say that we are best friends, something that I could never say when we lived at home

The relationship you have with you sister will probably be the longest relationship of your life and one of the most important. She will be the one other girl in the world who knew you from the time you were a child and through adulthood. Since you shared parents she most likely will be the one person who understands you simply by the way you were nurtured at home. Please try to find a way to appreciate her. I have a sister but she is mentally ill. I always thought we would have a good relationship as adults but sadly this will never happen. You should cherish your sister.

Their is such a thing as boundaries, as far as your sister is concerned. You do need to listen to her, she does know more then you, she is older, so respect her, tell her I apologize for how I have been treating you, I am sorry. She will have more respect for you. Now do the things that you are suppose to do. One day you will see where she is coming from. I am the youngest of 7 sisters, and I just love them so much. Tell her that you love her, and that you want you and her to get along better! You will see, this will all work out in the end!

I truthfully have a youthful sister and he or she looks to appreciate the failings I do for her. yet like each sibbling, not consistently is she appreciative. i think of i might prefer to have an older brother even with the undeniable fact that and shop my youthful sister. I dont understand if i ought to stand being bossed around with the help of an older sister. I have no thought what a brother is like and it style of sucks i might like somebody to be protective of me.

I believe just the opposite will happen. I've got a couple of friends whos sisters hated each other growing up. When they reached thier mid 20s they were best of friends. Maturity takes over.

Yes, quit deliberately starting arguments. You dont have to have things in common to have a good relationship. Tell her how you feel and that you regret arguing with her. You can be close without liking everything together.

ahhhhhh!! Shes your freakin sista girl. Ya'll betta learn to wing it and get along. I have a lot of sisters I have a twin sista. And yeah we do argue but thats a normal relationship if you and your sista got that much problems maybe you should seek a therapists. It may sound mad stupid but it may be the best thing to do.

U said u start and argument, which shows the frustration is on your side. So sit down and think why is that? As you say she has always been there for you, so she needs more respect from you dear
