You're going to hurt yourself because your sisters don't listen to you? How stupid can you be?
They're your sisters of course they're not going to listen to you, you are not their parent. Get over it. Tell your parents to do something or find a new babysitter.

Very simple to tell the sisters that the next time they hit you or throw a fit they won't be going to the pool or anywhere. Period.
Stop letting them walk all over you. The fits will stop. The chores will be done, and everything will be fine.
Stop bossing them around. That's what you're doing. I guarantee it. That's what 15 year olds do when they are "in charge" You have access to the internet..try doing a search on TIPS to persuade people. How to get someone to do something they don't want to do..leadership skills..
Read a book called how to win friends and influence people.
by dale carnegie. The book is all about tips and suggestions on how to get people to WANT to do the stuff you are currently TELLING them to do.
Do something to yourself?? ?????!!!!!!!

well stop baby sitting them tell your parents their not your kids and you had enough or tell them if they dont do their chores you will only take your cousins out and not them and when your cousins are ready and your sisters didnt do any thing you guys pretend to leave just hide in the backyard or somthing that way they think you werent lying then they will fell stupid and do their chores next time and behave!

Don't take them anywhere for a few days to make your point. That will seem unfair to the helpful cousins, because that means their stuck at home, too. So find a special way to reward them. Continue to withhold rewards from your sisters until they get the idea. I will pray for guidance for you as you try to figure this out. Oh, and why don't you try that too. Pray for your sisters. Prayer works wonders.

Yeah, your being a little dramatic.
If your parents left you in charge be in charge! Even if it means they get locked in the closet with their mouths duct taped..again dramatic but you get the point.
First sit your parents down to talk to them seriously & tell them that if they wont do anything to help you maybe they need a new Babysitter.

Hows this sound, you tell them to do their chores first, f they don't, give them a short time out. If they still don't listen, ask them why they don't want to do their chores... BUT, if they are little devils around you, but are little angles around your parents, hid a camera somewhere where you will be and ask them to do their chores, if they be real rude about it, show the tape to your parents.
