My sister, a sophemore in High school, has been getting really bad grades. At home she does what my parents tell here, clean her room, etc. (ordinary chores) She does however act strange sometimes, specially with me, she gets mad for no reason. I got a her password from her myspace account and found out many bad things she does at school explaning her bad grades, fighting for guys and other stuff. My parents have done so many things to try to help her get back on track for school so she has a future but she still gets the low grades and does stuff at school. They ask her what they can do to help her yet she does not take advantage of it.I try to help my sister but its no use. Im currently in college and dont spend much time with her, just on the weekends. I have brought her to some of my engineering classes so she gets an idea of how college is and how important it is for her future. Still she does stuff behind our backs at school and still failing classes. What can we do to help her ?

Relax its normal your sister is rebelling. She is a teenager and what she is doing is small compared to most. Its nice of you to help and worry but she will only think you are noisy and bossy. She doesn't want your pity she wants you to understand she wants freedom but also wants you to care. When she finally sees that you and her and your parents can agree then you will see a difference in behavior. Also peer pressure she isn't failing because she needs a tutor she is most likely following the lazy bored i don't care crowd. Watch her monitor her but don't suffocate her. Let her no you care are here to help but she has to want your help.

Nothing. Leave her alone.
She'll figure it all out. She's a teen, thats what teens do. You can talk until your blue in the face, nothing will help.
Grin and bear it.
And when she realises she'll be sorry and realise how much you love her for trying to help.
