Hello,
Honey W said it right.
I dont think its a good idea to look up to your sister. as witness you should know that what your sister is doing is not right. Talk to your parents about it, Read the bible and you know that "bad association spoils useful habits" (1Corinth: 15:33) Pray to Jehovah that you find Real friends where you feel confortable and that are Spiritual, Friends that love Jehovah and will not act in a way that will make his heart hurt. Remember what Det 30:15-20 says:"...to love Jehovah your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judicial decisions, then you will be bound to keep alive and to multiply, and Jehovah your God must bless you in the land to which you are going to take possession of it."
So keep walking with Jehovah and he will bless you. Dont look for your own satisfaction because you dont want to end up on the wrong tracks.
There is a video out called "how to make real friends" it is a very very good video. I learned so much from it and it shows that there are Real friends out there that have the same interest as you, Like Love for Jehovah and Jesus Christ.
Just keep Praying.
personal story: I did not grow up in the truth, none of my family members are JW's, anyways so i started studying and realized that many of my friends where not my "real" friends. as soon as i started studying they became bitter and angry, they said somethings about witnesses that was not true and did not support me at all. I realized that they were not my friends. so i became lonely and sad. I Prayed to Jehovah for reall friends that understood me and knew and loved him. Three months later i found two sisters that supported me spiritually we have alot in common and started inviting me to cool places, like rollerskating, movies and alot of other nice places for a christian. In time Jehovah will understand your need because he knows that we are ment to be together and not lonely.

Sometimes it is okay to NOT fit in with the crowd. Whether you are a Jehovah Witness (or not) - you need to do what YOU feel comfortable doing. I have relatives who are JW and I know they lead a very conservative lifestyle. In today's world, a lot of the young people are way too crazy and wild and into drinking, sex and what else... When I was a teen in the 70's, it was the same way. But, I was a nice quiet Christian girl and I led my life a whole lot different than most of my friends, and today I am so glad that I did, I am glad I stuck to my principles despite the crowd. And the men I have met in life were so impressed that I was not a teen whore and it really meant something to them. So, don't become like anybody including your sister. Be who you are, and look for a nice JW who shares your values and outlook on life. You will come out of your shell with time. Have confidence in who you are, you are so much better than this crowd, believe me!!!! Be proud of it. And when you find the right person, you and that person will be very glad you stuck to your principles.

IF you were a Jehovah's Witness you would know that what you're sister is doing is wrong, and wanting to be like that is not what a young lady should desire. You need to read the "Young People Ask" book and have a chat with your parents about a proper bible study so you can have a real relationship with God and get to "see" that people will like you better for your moral standing, not your wild ways.

I agree with the brothers and sisters. don't worry what your sister is doing, because she is doing things that is against Jehovah God, by sleeping around. yes we don't do wild things but we can talk about sex, in a good way. there is nothing wrong about taking about sex as long as you don't do it before marriage. start talking with the brothers and sisters even if they are older than you. read the book young people ask book. also 1 Corinthians 15 verse 33

Although it might seem reasonable for a human to advise another to "be yourself", the fact remains that such advice is not Scriptural. A true Christian (such as a Jehovah's Witness) continues to work at BECOMING the kind of person who pleases God and Christ.
(Psalm 51:10) Create in me even a pure heart, O God, And put within me a new spirit, a steadfast one.
(1 Peter 1:22) You have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth
(Psalm 25:4-5) Make me know your own ways, O Jehovah... Make me walk in your truth and teach me
(Exodus 33:13) Make me know, please, your ways, that I may know you, in order that I may find favor in your eyes.
Even Christ had to learn perfect obedience by suffering.
(Hebrews 5:8-9) Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered; and after he had been made perfect he became responsible

Sweety, DO YOU!!!! those of of who're delicate with ourselves would desire to supply a rats at the back of what the subsequent individual "believes". yet you will come to work out that maximum stereotypes have been began by potential of white people to lead them to selves look greater stronger. i'm not hating, that's basically a fact. Like as an occasion, you have a guy from India and a Black guy, to white people the two are black adult men, yet to the black guy the Indian is Indian, vias versa, however the Indian will fill particularly stronger because of fact he can verify "white" on an application field. Mexicians fill that way besides. The closer they experience to whites the greater stronger they start to act. All in an attempt to not grow to be a stereotype. purely be your self. i will not be able to sing or fry poultry, yet whilst i circulate to Golden Corral, each and all the white persons are ingesting watermelon!!! it is one loopy society!!

Don't worry about it...Be yourself...
To be honest with you it is always better to wait than to do something your not ready or not comfortable doing.
Have a wonderful day
