My sister came home tonight and I asked what she had been doing with her friend. And she told me not to tell our parents, I promised. Then she told me that she broke into a locked up school playground (breaking and entering is illegal) and that she had told my parents she was somewhere other than where she was (lying to our parents) and that she smoked a puff from a cigarette. She's 17...almost old enough to be locked up for things like this. She's been arrested before for stealing. And she still steals (from me...I dont see why. im 13; what do I have that she wants?) should I tell my parents about this??? I dont want to be on her bad side because she gets physical and screams and has chased me out of the house before.....should I still tell my parents??? (And no, my parents wont do anything to protect me if she gets physical. they havent cared in the past.)

yes, you should definately tell them. And as their daughter they should protect you. What your sister did was wrong and should be prevented from happening again.

Hie There. Well to me it is good for you to go and tell your parents on what she has done., because if you did not tell her on what she has done then for sure she will keep doing it and when she is caught again then for sure she will be facing a big trouble of it and this will for sure your parents will be desperate again. Well your parents should have the same love and protect you on how they protect your sister because if they are doing this and only protecting her then it is a very unfair thing to that to you. because if this happen and when your sister has been physical they should protect you and not only just sit and watching it. When in the age of 17 years old and she has starting to take a puff then this can also lead her to something bad that is drug and she can be even mean to herself and when she is doing this she should not also lie to your parents on whereby they have put a lot of trust on her and it is good for them to hear from you and ask her because it is good that you are trying and also blocking her from doing this bad things and this also can lead her to a bad way too. So it is good if you tell her from the starting until to the end including the stuff she has steal from you too. Try this and hope it might help you.........................
ALL THE BEST......................

This is a difficult question because you are so young but yet 13 and sound like you are the older one or the more responsible one. I think that you shouldn't cause any problems and not tell your parents BUT if you notice that your sister is still doing bad things or lying then you should say something. Not to be a tattle-tail but because you want to look out for her. Like you said, she is 17 and if she gets caught that would be wayyy worse then if your parents just knew about it and what get yelled at or punished so you should think about it. If the problems progress then talk to someone. It is not fair to put you in this position too. Good luck and don't worry about it too much. She is 17 and maybe just at this stage in life. Known as being a "REBEL"
Take care!

Firstly, your sister is old enough to know better and is more than likely acting like a goose to impress a guy.
Break and enter isnt cool and when they all get caught, they will find out the hard way.
Keep your mouth shut mate, you'll only put your self in deep water with your sister.

Tell your school counselor. Telll the counselor that you would like to tell your parents, but that you are afraid that your sister will hurt you like she did before. Make sure you let her know that your sister hurt you in the past and that your parents did not help. Tell her to ask your parents to protect you from her.

If they cared about your sister and would do something to get her the apparent help she needs then I would say yes tell them. Your sister needs help; However, if they are not going to do anything to help her, and telling them is only going to cause you grief, then just let the scene play itself out. Eventually her shenanigans will catch up with her. She will end up in jail or worse. Thiis is my way of answering. Hope it helps.

Your parents should know what their kids are doing.
It's to protect her.
What happens if she starts wanting more excitment
and does something worse?
What if she gets killed one day?
You, as her brother, need to make sure she's safe.
Even though she's not in any trouble right now,
she could be.
Tell your parents.
It's better to have a sister who's mad,
than a sister who's dead.

Normally I would say yes, but I am concerned for your safety. Take haven in the fact that it's not your responsibility to help your parents parent better.
