Worried about my sister?

Question

She's a pretty girl I guess, all my friends say so.

But when she came home this afternoon, with this (American McGee's Alice) look in her face, then said " Do you ever think of just cutting a pretty girls face up, just to see how her life will end up."

Then she went to her room and started to cry.

What the h***s wrong with her?

Answer 1

Maybe she wants to be more than just a pretty face, maybe she wants people to like for what she is and not how pretty she is, maybe she feels lonely inside, maybe she is wondering would people still like her if she's no longer pretty.

Answer 2

Ask her!  Don't take the defensive big brother tact but the concerned big bro who she can talk to if she needs to!  Ya know, the big teddy bear guy but don't tell anyone guy.  Ask her if she's struggling with something, if something is bothering her.  How's she been sleeping, has she been crying a lot, eating too much or not enough?

If you even suspect she needs professional help, get your parents involved and get her started on it!

Good luck and your sister is a lucky little sis!

Answer 3

The best thing to do is to go to her room and ask her what has happened.  Dont be too alarmed if you find out that someone said something to her that she is upset about.  You will have to remain calm and talk her through it so that she can find a solution, rather than jumping to her defence and saying that you are going to beat them up.  She will need to sort out her own problems soon enough but just needs a wee bit of guidance at the start.

Answer 4

Be a good Brother and ask her what is wrong and help her get out of this tough  situation she is going through, let her know she can trust you and that you will always be there for her.

That's the right thing to do.
