She is cool and everything but she won't leave me alone sometimes. I count my blessings that I have a normal family but with her hanging out with me so much I get frustrated and need time away from her. I don't want to upset her or be mean to her in anyway.

Thats so sweet!!
Well i know it may get overwhelming sometimes and its nice that you dont want to hurt her.
Why not allocate time for her. Tell her that you will take her out or play a game or whatever you both enjoy doing but say provided she lets you have alone time for a bit because you have some things you want to do first and then you will call her.
All the best!!

Tell her how you feel but in a soft approach.Let her know that you love her but both of you need some alone time apart. Even try and joke with her about how would she feel if you started hanging around her and her friends while they gossiped about boys. Let her know that you are always there if she needs a shoulder to lean on and even suggest just the 2 of you do something like rent a movie, go bowling, skating.etc. once a week.

Just appreciate that she needs you right now. Believe it or not, she's not aiming to be be your best friend forever. She just needs to feel like she can be your friend right now. Tell her when you need to be apart from her and tell her that the reason you need to be apart from her is that you ARE family and so you see each other 24/7. But be with her for other times when she needs you.
It will be something that comes back and rewards you later. You might actually make some contacts - meet some cool people who are older siblings of her friends -whom you might not otherwise have known.

Well, as a younger sister I wanted to be accepted by my sister's friends cuz I thought it would be cool. After about 6th grade though I decided my friends were better. If your sister has friends her age, enlist your parents' help getting her to hang out with them. I'm sure they want her to hang out with kids her own age, too. If she has a hard time making friends, your parent(s) can help get her into afterschool programs or other activities. Talk to the 'rents and see what they have to say.

Your sister obviously looks up to you, i guess you must be a great role model for her. Pick a time when you and her can just talk without any interuptions. Set up special times with her that you can hang out together and bond. Someday, you will miss her like you won't believe, and you will appriciate knowing that you two were close like most people aren't with their siblings.

maybe you can go hang out with other people, and when you are at home tell her you need some time to study. With the summer coming, just make sure to constantly have people over or have some other plans. When you're alone, tell her you need to have time to 'think about life'. Maybe she'll think you're all cool and 'older' and sophisticated...she'll leave you alone but still admire you. Think of something like that

That is like my lil sis. Well, you could just tell her politely that you need some space. Maybe plan a day just for you 2 together. That would be fun.

Some day she will be all you've got. Take her out to lunch and establish some boundaries. Let her know you need you time, but you still care a lot about her and you will hang out every __________ when you can.

Did you ever stop to think maybe if she had her own friends that she probably would not find your life so interesting.Help her find a new interest or some friends.Also maybe you are a role model to her
