do you really want to? sometimes there is natural born sibling rivalry, and because you ask that question I suspect that's what the problem is. Most times if you can't have enjoyment out of working and playing together as kids, then you have to wait till you're adults and then talk it out. I found out that my sister didn't like me because I was the baby of the family and she says she was jealous cause I got all the attention from my parents. But I on the other hand felt she was the older and she got the paid for education by my parents, had the opportunity of working in my dad's office, etc. etc. So you see, you can't get this out in the open until you're adults or even some long time into the future. But when you do get into a discussion you must first 1) ask each other what started you two to drift, and 2) how can we solve this, get over this, and 3) how can we work together as a family. It may take years to accomplish.

Try to take a longer perspective on the things going around you. Are the things that are upsetting you really such a big deal? If you take a moment to reflect before you act, you will probable find that you are reacting to her on impulse and out of habit. The habit can be changed. If you are fighting over things, try to remember that they are unimportant and 10 years from now you will have thrown most of them away. Your sister however will still be there.
If she is younger, the things she is doing to upset you may just be because she needs some attention. Try taking a little time out of your day to hang out and do something you both enjoy.
If she is older, it might be that she is too wrapped up in her life to realize how important you are to her. Hang in there, as you both get older, you will become more and more important to each other.
Remember, you siblings are the only ones who share both your biology and the unique up bringing your parents are giving you. This will become more and more important to as you get older.

Look, she will be your closest family for the longest period of time because she's close to your age (unlike your parents). Try to take the high road and let things slide off your back. It will definitely be worth it in the long run. Plus you'll get some satisfaction for being the 'bigger person'.

From experience I can tell you---Tie her up and put her in the closet and shut the door. Then you can get along with her untill your mom gets home.

Patience, compromise, and willingness to do so, that's 50%, the other 50% is up to your sister.

Sit down with her and show her if she was not around how it would affect your life. it may change her point of view.
Siblings don't really hate one another, it stems from jealousy, and puerile behavior.
