You must accept everything about her, you cannot change it. She's younger and different than you, and it is something you will grow to understand, and she will begin to change, whether it is for the worse or for the better. But either way, she is your sister, so you must provide unconditional love, support, and be someone she can look up to.

Sibling relationships are always difficult. The key is patience, as hard as that may be, and try not to respond to violence, as that will encourage them to continue the conflict in most cases. I’ve seen several pairs of kids who engage in fighting because they’re bored, but as for hating a little sister, really just be patient with her. If she’s smaller than you she will probably want your attention, even if it’s the wrong kind. Try to be generous and caring, even loving if possible, though that is definitely challenging through childhood, and just realize it’s not uncommon at all to feel this way.

With siblings, it's often really easy to grow tired or annoyed of them, considering how you've lived their early years with them. I found that whenever I start to feel hateful emotions towards my younger siblings, I take a break. I withdraw from them for a few hours and focus on other things. Eventually when I face them again, my hate has toned down and I realize how the emotions I've felt where at their extreme point earlier. Also, the benefit of fighting or being angry with your siblings is the fact that you share a roof with them and if the issue is complex, you can easily talk about it with them or have your parents mediate.

Spend some time with her a little at a time and give her a few hugs here and there... one things that may help is setting a time of day you can spend with her and that might make the relationship better... even though you may hate her she’s still your little sister and it’s family we all have that person in the family we don’t like but it takes time to come to a medium between the two of you and a solution to that might be just talking to them more or just giving them a hug! That might just make their day and yours too!

Realize that you both are not alike and do not carry a grudge or be jealous of her successes. Do not ever compare yourself to her. Just accept her and love her! Life is difficult and when your parents and siblings are all gone then both of you will be all that you have left of your family. Forgive often and know that you each face challenges daily and they will not be the same! Try and reach out and not judge, and just except her for what she is right now, knowing that things can change, and that's ok!

Try to list the positive qualities of hers and talk about your relationship out with her. See where the source of hate comes from and see if you are doing anything toxic to her or if she is the toxic one. If you both are toxic to each other, then you should try having a calm conversation with her about it. Also, depending on your age, it is kind of common to have a lot of sibling hate in teen years since in those years, you are developing as a human. Try journaling out your feelings and try being calm instead of hating on your sister in front of her since it can impact her mental health Hope this helped xx

First of all, maybe analyzing the reason why you hate it so much might be a solution. Some brothers end up hating their younger siblings just because the amount of attention they get. However, there are a couple of things you might consider first : there is a blood connection between you. Family remains family remains family, no matter what. Maybe it is just a phase, siblings usually fight when they are young but end up being great friends in the future. So you might waot for that to happen, you'll realize that having a brother or a sister can be useful in many ways. Besides, if you think that they receive more attention, maybe consider that having a young child is hard for the parents. They have to take care of everything, just as they did to you. :)

Find out why you hate her. Then decide is it worth it in the long run? After all, you are family with her. Families are forever, don't let a small obstacle be the stop of having a good relationship with her. After all, some people would love to have a little sister.

A lot of people hate their siblings, it's completely normal! Deep down inside we all love them so much. Try being nice to her, usually if they see you're being nice, they won't be so annoying.

Sibling rivalry is always going to be around. I have a sister who is four years younger and there are days I absolutely despise her. In your question though it's probably a little more serious than just normal sibling rivalry. Onne way to fix it is to work on figuring out the main reason she makes you so mad and then narrow it down on trying to find a way to fix it.
