My sister and I used 2 be always close, but now thats changed. she's a senior in high school and shes moving out soon. She wont talk to me and is always ignoring me. I have tried to spend special time hanging out with her, and get her a nice gift or something she wanted but nothing works!! I have also just left her alone instead incase i happen to be annoying her! when she moves out i am afraid i will have nothing to do with her anymore. I jus want to be close to her and be able to share secrets with her like we used to. What should I do?

I don't know how many years are between you but my sister and I have 6 years between us. I am the oldest. I am sure she has alot going through her head right now. She doesn't mean to make you feel this way. Just tell her that you don't want you guys to grow apart as life will take you in different directions. It hasn't been until now that my sister and I have really been able to reconnect. We talk just about every day. She moved out of state for college. We are both looking forward to her coming back for the summer. It will just take time. The world is scary when you first go out into it. She will always be your sister and even if she isn't showing it she will always love you. There is a bond that sisters have.
Good luck. Ask her if there is anything you can do to help her. She may just not to want to admit she is scared or has no clue what to do with life.

Talk to her about it. Chances are she is just really stressed about graduating from High School. She is about to go through a huge life change. She is moving out, and leaving all her friends she's known for so long in school. Things are about to change very dramatically for her. Try talking to her about it.
On another note: I know when I graduated from HS and moved away to college, my younger sister and I became very close. And we still are to this day. Give it time. Be there for her as much as you can!

I think you should give her space for now. She has a lot to think about, what with moving out and living life as an adult. But I gaurantee that after she moves out, she will miss you and want to talk to you again. You two won't have as much time together, but the time you do spend together will be more fun.

you didn't say how old you are. most of the time girls that age have an attitude about everything and who want's to hang out with there dumb old sister. you are at a pretty tough age and i think that in the next few years your relationship will become closer. i hated my younger sister when we were growing up, then we became best friends. it helps when people grow up a little bit.

This is normal - let her know that you like to spend time with her. In a few years you will be even closer than you are now.
