Why don't older sisters look out for their younger sisters?

Question

My older sister is 15 and I am 13. She tells me that I am being unfair to her and I am not that way. I am always nice to her and she always ignores me and say I am always bothering her and interfering with her academic and social life. She nevers talks to me anymore. Whenever I talk to her, she will yell at me and tell me to go away. I am very depressed. I love her and she doesn't understand. She say I don't love her. Whenever I bring friends home, my friends say hi to her and she ignores my friends. When I tell her about my social life, she tells me that I am babyish and she doesn't want to hear it. I tell my parents and they said "if she doesn't want to her, then let her be that way. Don't worry." I know that a decent older sister shouldn't be this way. She is suppose to look out and take care of me like a older sister should do. Right? Why don't older sisters do their job? Why don't parents tell the older sister to do their job if that is the way how things should be? It is not fair

Answer 1

Well, most siblings get along sometimes, but often get mad at eachother.
But in this case, your sister, seems like an extreme ***** and loner. Prolly pissed about something in her life, or shes having her ladies days 24/7.

When the time comes when you need her protection or help, she'll be there.

If any guy tried anything out of line with my sister, whos 1 year younger than me, they'd wake up on a stretcher. Same goes for people messing with cousins. Thats how we were all raised. Family comes first, blood is thicker than water. Maybe she wasnt raised with this mindset.

Answer 2

well i think that awful what your sister is doing 2 u me and my younger sis are like best friends(she is 13 im 17)we tell eachother almost everything and i definitley look out 4 her but i do have 2 admit that i sometime get annoyed with her and ignore her sometimes and get mad at her but that only lasts 4 like a couple of hours at the most but i think that your sister is going threw some rough times right now u should try 2 ignore her insults about how she doesn't luv u because she probably does and the reason your parents aren't doing anything about it is b/c they now whats she's going threw being 15 is'nt easy u may not understand it now but when your 15 you'll now and understand by then she will be older and be able 2 help u

good luck dont be sad

Answer 3

my sister is 17 and I'm 20. When we were really young I watched out for her all the time, then I just wanted to do my own thing. My sister and I fight a lot now. I wish things were different but their not. I try to help her and give her advice and be there when she needs me but she usually wants nothing to with me. I used to think she was really annoying and all I wanted was for her to leave me alone. I think that if you ignore your sister for awhile she will come around. Or maybe only tell her how your life is once a week. It's easier for me to talk to my sister on the phone or through e-mail. then we can both think about what we are going to say. try send her an e-maila nd let her know how you feel. Things will get better. It just takes time.

Answer 4

Unfortunately some teenagers are this way. My sister was very mean to me at times when we were young- and we were a similar age difference as you and your sister. She eventually became nice to me again, but I can remember being very hurt and offended. My 2 nieces are 9 and 11 and I see the younger girl saying all the time, "Mom! Monica is being so mean to me!" I know this won't make it easier for you, but it's just a phase some girls go through.

Answer 5

You and your sister may not have a close relationship until you are both a little older.

I am an older sis and always looked out for my sis but dont get me wrong I was a pain to her too and used to tell her to leave me alone.

sounds like your sis is going through a tough time - 15 can be tough - she should start coming around later. by then maybe you will tell her to kiss off.
