Im going to tell ya like this. That's your sis, you deserve to be skeptical but not for the reason that you are. There is a reason she is living on the street so if you do help her then set down some ground rules( she has to get a job, pay some bills, clean up behind herself, etc.) and try to find out what got her on the streets in the first place. But as far as carrying a taunting beef from childhood into this situation; that is the wrong a approach. Dont look at this as revenge; turn it to a chance to make amends

Well it is sad that some people have hard times. Families are for support in time of need. Even if she would not do the same for you. If you feel you want not to help her then that is up to you. Will it make you feel better about yourself? If you do help her then help her get back on her feet , how would that make you feel? Siblings always make fun of each other.. but when the time comes that they need each other, they should pull together. We are not in a vacuum we need help from time to time. So check your heart, see if you can help her for a while, maybe it will make her a better person and you too. If it doesn't work out, you can tell yourself you did what you had to do. Family should be number one after ones self.. or it should be number one before ones self. Only you can answer that one. It is up to you if it is your power to help her. Good Luck

To let your sister live on the streets cause as children she teased you is sad, but you need to find out if her being homeless is of no fault of her own or because of drugs or alcohol.
If your sister is living on the streets because she is an alcoholic or an addict then you can assist her in trying to receive health for her illness or let it go.
You can not help a alcoholic or an addict until they are ready and have hit a bottom, you can't make that bottom for them.
If this is her case and she is not ready to stop drinking and or drugging then the best way you can love her is to let it go, and don't beat your self up with guilt about it.

Let me see if I understand you clearly. Your sister made fun of you when you were a kid, but you think this might be reason enough to leave her on the streets?
This makes absolutely zero sense to me. My big sister used to beat holy hell out of me, like big sisters DO. Even so, she is my SISTER. If she needs something, I am there for her, 100%. If she is hungry, I will send her money for food. If she needs a place to stay, I will offer her shelter under my roof. If she needs clothing, she needs but let me know.
A sister or brother is the closest relative you have. Not only that, but they are the ONLY person who truly understands everything about you. They grew up in the same household, in the same environment, they experienced the same hassles, joys, pains, laughter, everything that you did. Life is way too short to hold stupid grudges about "OMG! She teased me when we were little, let her live on the streets now, screw HER!"
I am amazed that anybody would even consider leaving their sister or brother or ANY family member out on the streets.

Family is always going to make us mad but what are you teaching your children (even if you dont have any yet) if you turn your back on your sister their aunt. If and when you have children do you want them to always love each other no matter what, are you going to want them to always look out for each other? Or do you want to teach them to quit on someone they care about in doing so do you only quit on your brother and sister or can you quit on mom and dad too. And hey lets quit on the marriage too. and if our kids make us mad shoot we can quit on them.
See are actions do have a way of reflecting on all parts of our life, and how people see us as a whole.
Your sister is homeless, you can try to help her, talk to her if she needs a job she needs a address and a phone number so she can put somthing on her application. If she needs counseling because of drugs then you can help her locate a place to go but even to get the state to assist her she still needs a residence of some kind.She is your sister kids pick on each other I come from a family where all I had was 2 older brothers they are 6 and 8 years older than me I was a brat we went round and round but as much as I put them through and they put me through we have always known we can call on each other if we need them.
We would never see on of us homeless and ask should I help. HELL YES YOU SHOULD HELP

I think you would feel better about yourself and even get some decent sleep. So yes i think so. My father is annoying too as your sister is but I do not have the heart to kick him out and I would if I did but I just wouldnt be donnie cooper. I am a warm hearted man.

Doesnt matter what happened as children
all siblings make fun of one another -
do the right thing and help her out in whatever way you can just be sure to make a few rules so she doesnt take advantage of you

wow... im guessing u mean shes homeless..if she is a blood relative... I feel u should talk to her.... offer help.... or money.... maybe she doesnt want u r help out of pride.... even though she was mean to u growing up.. you should offer help... sometimes homeless people have mental issues so be careful. make her know u still care for her and she is loved.. maybe thats all she has to hear to bring her out of this...

she is your sister. I think that it's only right for you to help her out. Kids all go through that stage with their siblings. If the situation were reversed, you would want her to help you. Get out there girl and get her!!!
