Question

Answer 1

u dont have a choice

Answer 2

You dont have a choice......

I think you just need to be supportive. She will learn what the deal is in highschool when she gets there.

Answer 3

wow im going to high school to next year im skipping 3 grades im in 6th going to 9th so yea i think im mature enough im sure she is to

Answer 4

You can't - and nor is maturity a requirement. You can only tell her what to expect, so she doesn't feel too out of her depth when she gets there.

I mean, what are you going to do if you decide she _isn't_ mature enough? Force your parents to take her out of school?

Answer 5

Well, even if she's not mature enough, she's going. But sitting down with her and having a big sis to little sis talk about the pressures and responsibilities she will face will help her transition. Also, take her out a couple of times throughout the year. Going out with big sis is exciting and before you know it, she'll want to be just like you. A little hard to handle at times, but it will be worth it! She'll get there eventually. Have fun!

Answer 6

Just like u did

everyone gets more responsible and when they arrive she will grow up a lot quicker !

Answer 7

maturity comes with time and unfortunitly weather or not she is mature enough she HAS to go

Answer 8

Its not up to you to decide if your sister is mature enough. Whether she is mature enough for high school or not, she has to go. All you can do is give her advice and pointers on what to expect and what she should do and not do. If you are still in high school you can easily watch out for your sister while you are there..

Answer 9

You can't be sure..you have no choice.  She will learn the responsible just like she learned the responsibility of going into middle school.

Answer 10

You don't.  

If it's her time to move up to those grades then there is NOTHING you can do about it, whether or not she's ready.

Answer 11

a lot of kids aren't mature enough when they enter highschool and unfortunately also when they leave.... this is where she gets a chance to step up to the plate. some learn the responsibility right away... others are struggling it throughout their high school experience.

Answer 12

maturity is not a prerequisite to get into high school.

just be there for her.  listen to her experience.
