Help! My sister is driving me crazy!?

Question

She is constantley text messaging, and on her phone talking as loud as she can! She is also always online checking out stars on imbd.com shes consumed its like she needs rehab. All she talks about is her friends and she litterally uses "OMG" in the real world. She is driving me nuts, and she is a pop culture finatic! I just want to be able to have a convorsation with her without talking about lindsay lohan and her friends "boy problems" how do i go about that?

I feel bad because we are nothing alike! i could care less about pop culture and only use my phone when it rings and i hate texting i refuse to text message my friends. I listen to old music like the beatles, Dylan, and the rolling stones. While she listens to Rihana, miley cyris, and the hairspray soundtrack. I'm not insulting her likes, but being sisters that are only 3 years apart im sad that we cant be close and talk like human beings!!! help me!!

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

All relationships are built around communication, trust, and compromise. So tell her that you want to hold a real conversation and sometimes you will hold a pop culture one with her. Meet somewhere in the middle and try to be as honest as possible.

Answer 2

give her time she will grow up sometime

Answer 3

whoa, she's 17 are you kidding me?! my sister and i are exactly the same, though, she talks about bands i've never heard of, says like in every sentence, and always repeats herself about her friends. We are about 2 years in difference, but it feels like we're 10 years apart. We hardly ever have things in common, and she's just now starting to open up to me and talk to me about her life. She talks really loud on the phone, and she never puts her cell down to stop texting.

I'm not sure how you can ignore these traits, but maybe you can take her out to the movies and tell her to leave hte phone at home, or tell your parents you want a her and you day, with noone else. Take her out to ice cream, and ask her how school is, or what she's doing this weekend. try to avoid asking her about movies or popstars, or her friends, and if she brings it up, go along, and then quickly sneak in a different topic in. just enjoy a good day with your sister [:

good luck.

Answer 5

Unless you say "So, hows the weather?" and she says "LINDSEY LOHAN!" then simply try having a basic conversation. You can talk to her, remember that all of us were her at one point in our lives.

Answer 6

you sound just like me and your sister just sounds like mine.  and we are three years apart too.  i told my sister upfront that some of the things she does drives me crazy.  usually that's what siblings do to each other, but after we had the talk (although it didn't really work the first few times), we learned to accept each other's differences and compromise by setting boundaries.  

Answer 7

just say that you arent interested in the things she is.

if it gets really bad talk to your parents

Answer 8

Confront her and slap her in the face! LOL...sorry(just fooling around)

Answer 9

shes still in an age when keepingg up with your friends and going online is more like a must then a want.  times are changing and shes just going with it, one day she may realize that shes acting annoying too you but that dosent mean she'll change.  i dont think you can stop her from being who she is but if you say she looks up to you maybe she'll turn into someone you find more mature and tolerable.

Answer 10

I know how you feel I have a little sister and a little brother. My brother and I fight all the time. He and I are 3 years apart but My sister and I are more. My brother is very loud and well hes a smelly boy. We argue about everything.What I do when my brother drives me insane is I talk to my friends I call them and vent about everything he does and how stupid it is. Or I talk to him about it and ask him to stop. Sometimes it doesn't work but other times it does.

I hope that someone gives you the answer you are looking for.

Good Luck.  

Answer 11

Is she a young teen?Like 12 or 13 or something that is when they think that they have to be like the girls in the movies and they are all about pop. Just try real hard to get through it she will most likely out grow it.
