You absoluitely SHOULD NOT be doing your sister's homework for her. How is she going to learn to make her own way in life? You are doing her no favors. If she is failing her classes, perhaps your parents could get a tutor to help her or she may need to go to summer school. You are setting her up for failure in later life by not making her responsible for herself.

The reason she is near failing is you doing her homework so she doesn't know how to do the class room work or have the info to pass the tests. Don't do it for her, show her how to do it herself so she can actually learn something and maybe pass the tests. If she won't do it herself, let your parents know what is going on so they can get her a tutor or supervise and assist her themselves. You aren't doing her any favors by doing her work for her.

What is going to happen if you go away to college? Who will do her homework then? I suggest you talk to your sister, and chatch her up as best you can in her studies, then let her do it herself. She won't get anywhere if she doesn't do it herself.
Teach her real-world application, and make her pull herself out of nearly failing grades, and then talk to your parents about it. I doubt that they know you have been helping your sister out, and they need to keep her accountable. She may hate you for it now, but she'll thank you later.

help her do her homework, but not do it FOR her.
She needs to learn to mature, and you can help her by doing it with her for maybe 20 or 30 minutes. Also talk to her and tell her what may happen if she doesn't do her homework. But don't get over loaded, do your homework first!
good luck!

Don't do her homework any more. It might make her angry at you for awhile, but she needs to learn the information herself, and you doing her homework doesn't help. You can help her out by helping her with it when she gets stuck, but don't actually do the whole thing anymore.

I believe it's time for your sister to do her own homework. If she needs help, try and assist, maybe she needs a tutor in some of her subjects. I hoped I could help you out some.

DON'T DO HER HOMEWORK! The teachers don't want to know what you know, they are teaching her and want to know if she is understanding.
