Family is difficult - we get good days and bad days. siblings fall in and out the same way the weather in Scotland changes every second of the day, however your love will never be altered due to this. be patient with your family - its the only one you get. remember your sister will grow, don't say mean things just because you can - she may be a little silly now, but once she is older she will respect you being kind to her, and listening to her - even if she is being silly! - its something you learn as you grow, so dont pressure yourself too much.

Find commonground beyond being family. Get to know her. Find reasons to be grateful for having her and write them down for days when she gets on your nerves.

The best way to figure that out is to have a serious sit down talk with her, you, and your parents. Sort of like an intervention and to clear up why you feel this way.

I think you need to ask why you hate your sister, maybe make a list of the reasons. Work through them, see if any of them have a solution that you can action right now. If there is any like that, go ahead and do them. If they are all things that will take more time, break them into steps. So maybe she frequently borrows your clothing without asking? First step could be to try and explain to her how it makes you feel. Maybe come to an arrangement with her where once a week, she can borrow a different thing, as long as she asks. Or if you aren't ok with that, then you could work on setting ground rules. If they're more complex reasons, maybe talk to a parent for some guidance on ways to work through this. Good luck!

Siblings can be tough and annoying. It’s best to put yourself in their shoes. I know from being one, younger sisters look up to their older siblings and enjoy being around them because they identify with them, even if that’s not always obvious. They can get on your nerves and be rude because they probably haven’t matured as much yet, which is fine, we were all that young once. Be patient with her but also understand when it’s time to take some time for yourself and try to communicate that to her as well. Maybe just let her know you need some time for yourself- this would teach her a lot about empathy and respect.

Try to understand her more. Try to think how would you feel if your older sibling hated you. If she's little she has no experience and therefore you shouldn't be so harsh.

Vow to protect her, no matter the cost. You will find you love whoever you are willing to die for. Protect her from bad relationships, bad people, bad experiences, anything that would hurt her. If you fight, be the first to apologize, whether you started it or not. Also, find something nice to do for her as often as possible, and smile at her often.

Well, you should find common ground with her and see if there is anything that interest both of you so it can spark a conversation that can lead you to understand your sister better.
