I have an 18 year old sister, but i'm only 11 and she doesnt care about me. ( well she does i guess but she dont show it and dont care too much ) I know she's older and theres a big gap. She always say i wont understand but she doesnt know what i've been through. She will just throw low blow after low blow. I mean aren't sisters suppose to be there to gossip, tell secrets, braid hair or is that just the movies?

Seven years is a big difference in age. You don't have the same things in common. I would not worry to much, I would make my own friends and as you get older, you will understand more of what your sister is talking about. I have a four year difference between my sister and myself, and we didn't do a lot together, but as I got older we did more together. You have fun growing up, and forget about her, she'll wonder how come you grew up so fast without her.

Dont worry... once you are a little older (not saying that you are really young; you seem very mature for an 11 year old!!) then the age gap will seem a little less important... and you will notice that you have more in common than you think.
My Sister and I are just as you say above, really good friends... but that didnt happen the day she was born. I'm an older sister, and I used to treat my little sister really bad. There's a 6 year difference between us and we are now BEST friends.

Sometimes people, even if they're in the same family, don't fit.
I have an older brother who's a full 11 years older than I am. Of course when we were younger and he was in high-school, I was his kid sister who bothered him and he wanted nothing to do with me.
We didn't really get close until he left for college. He would stay on weekends and it would be an event, he was super fun to hang out with, and now he's 27 and I'm 16 and we're best friends. I even get a long with his crowd and have been deemed "the coolest little sister ever"
Just be patient, she has some maturing to do and so do you. One day she'll turn around, but it might be that your personalities just don't fit. My art teacher has a twin sister who HATES her.

I have 2 older sisters. One is 6 years older & the other is 2 years older. Growing up I was very close to my sister that is 2 years older (we are still close), but as I mutured & got my own intrests, my oldest sister & I found out that we have a lot in common & are now just as close. I think that you should get your own intrest & keep trying to be a friend to your sister. She will come around, & come to value you. It may take a while, but let her know you care, will be there if she needs you, & love her.

Sounds like your more mature then your 18 yr. old sister! She just doesn't know what she's missing does she? Good Luck honey and you need to be proud of who you are I would have loved to have had a sister like you. Your right I would gossip with you and all that lol.

try telling your sister that! That you want to have more of a "sisterly" relationship. Ask her if she will join you in doing thigns you guys can do together despite the age difference. Invite her to come to the mall and ask her to help you pick something out. Maybe ask her to help you with your homework. Good luck

Sometimes sisters wont really get along with each other. but time will come if you are ready, lets say you've mature enough, then maybe you and your sister would get close.
