Answer 1

You are no longer a child...but not yet an adult. So, you should not be playing around like a child anymore, and start preparing for adulthood.

Think: in 5 years you'll be 18...what if you want to leave home, need to leave home or suddenly must leave home... how will you care for yourself, cook for yourself, work, manage your budget, organize your rooms, build a career, and be independent?

Surely, you do not want to stay a child forever and stay at home the rest of your life? Do you feel your future husband will enjoy watching you play, be messy and careless? Do you think your children willlearn from you or respect you if you have no structure in your life?

Start slowly by adding responsibilities at school or at church or in your room....when you have learned how to "manage" this small area, go to bigger things. By the time you are 18 or 20, you will be very independent, self-secure, steady, proud and strong. There are enough adults that are "kids", choose your future and work for it step by step, so that you can be proud of yourself.

Never mind what others say....take charge of your future!

From now on you shall become more and more responsible . One day you shall be an adult, and it weill be awfull!Now, at 34 I have to endure everything that by the age of 19 was a responsability for may parents only.I have to face many furious people who abuse my child , for example , because they use to hit them by now- when it is forbidden by law -And a child is a child an not a dog.
Responsabilities means a lot of things .First you must know that your real Father is God , second you must respect your parents , third you must love the people and share the dificulties.You must also recognize and practice the truth.Yes , you must help at houskeaping , it is not against the law.Only to be exploited as a child is against the law . To help a little bit your sister and parents at 13 y.o . is a good thing and a reason , because you also live in that house , eat , and use cloathes, and the house. I agree that I am a total slave for my daughter but not more then 13 y.o.My daughter is 9 and half and sometimes , I ask her to help me, a verry , verry little.But it is nice when you are tired to death , that someone else around you can bring you a glass of water!Now, housekeeping is easier , there are a lot of machines to help , even to wash the dishes!On the other hand I dion't like the idea of having a houskeeper, more then a day /one year .Perhaps if I will strat working hard , I will accept a houskeeper 3 hours a day , paying her like a king!

Your 13, sure your old enough to do chores and stuff like that but don't let chores and other "responsible" things take over your life. Enjoy being a teenager, let others around you know that your not an adult yet and you need to just chill sometimes. But remember, it's okay to do some responsible things suitable for your age.

Make ya bed, keep ya room clean and pack the dish washer once in a while, it will keep ya sis of your back.

Answer 5

Well, your sister is not the parent and if she has a problem with how the chores are distributed, she really needs to talk to your parents about it, not take it out on you. There is plenty of time for chores when you grow up and live on your own...no worries about that!!

Answer 6

You are only a teenager ... Stay like that for a wile longer , life is hard as it is with out rushing into responsibilities , and if you really want to know ... Learn this " Don't do unto others what you don't' want them to do to you " and this will almost take care of it self for all the responsibility you have to show at this point in your life .

Answer 7

First, learn to take responsibility for your actions. You choose how you think, act and react. If you can do that you'll go a long way. Also, try to prioritize. Make a list of all the things you want and need to do and arrange them from most important to least important. Do that and you should be fine!
