Well, I always try to have a normal conversation with her, like: hey, how are you? And stuff. And that really helps because actually i didn't know my little sis, and when you start asking questions, it can happen that you might starting to love her :)

I would reccomend trying to get to her level. Think back to when you was her age. See how you can relate and find common interest, this might create a bond and give you and idea as to how to get along. If your little sister starts touching your makup, I would reccomend playing make over and take pictures. You can also either buy or give her makeup you don't want. This is great for the little sister that is looking up to you. This creates a bond and eventually the talking will take place and then this is where I would tell my sister..." Do you like makeup ? Is this why you touch my makeup? "Then make a deal ..."if you dont touch my makeup , I might be able to make you an appointment next week....same time and same place" add a little wink. This is playful yet stern. Its hard to avoid the little siblings but not impossible. Try to find ways around the problem by communicating (not yelling) and create a bond in the process. Family is important and creating a bond and memories are the foundation to this relationship.

I think it is important to appreciate your siblings. Many people dont have the advantage of having sisters or brothers and grow up as an only child. Spend more time with her, do things with her that you love.

You were once young too so there were probably so many people you annoyed to death but they still love you and you should always keep that in mind. Nothing that she does is meant to hurt you and hating on her in only going to hurt you. Spread love

I assume you're going through some changes. And if not, either you have already, or you're about to. We've all went through that phase of hating our siblings, and it's normal. As you get older, things will even out; trust me. First off, think about what is the reason you hate your sister? Does she try to bug you ALL of the time? Make you mad? Prank you, or ask you to play with her one time too many? Whatever the reason is, we've been there! You're not alone. Keep in mind that your little sibling might think that you're awesome, and looks up to you. I know it sounds like something you've heard from family memebers, but it's true. Some siblings are just straight out mean and make you think "He or She WANTS TO RUIN MY LIFE!" There's always a reason a sibling makes you mad. They might feel like they're living in your shadow, or (depending on how big your family is), might feel left out. Possibly they are being bullied or some other strange reason. One thing you'll have to do is, talk it out. Try to yell as little as you possibly can, and try to find out what's wrong. Whatever you do, DO NOT get in physical fights with her. My mother, and her sister fought, and my mom would hit her younger sibling a lot, and that hurt her mentally, physically, and emotionally. They don't argue like that anymore, and they have became a lot closer than when they were teens. However, there's a little gap... A separation between them because of it. I didn't like my siblings either, but in the end, things will work out. Time is a good healer. When you're older, things will be different.

It doesn't matter how much she gets on your nerves, winds you up, does something wrong, she will always be the one person who understands where you came from, the life you've had and love replaces any moments of hate.

Wow! That's a tough one. Tough to answer without more details, that is. Why do you hate her? Does she hate you too? Is it really "hate" that you feel, or is it a potent combination of other emotions that have festered over time? In any case, it helps to schedule a time during which you can both meet in a safe space free from distraction to discuss your feelings. I recommend that you also have a mediator present, perhaps a parent or other elder family member, who can keep the space calm and control the fire if it starts to burn. On your own, you can practice Loving-Kindness Meditation. Peace :-)

Realize the real reason why you hate her - you will be surprised that you probably don't really hate her, but hate how others treat you two differently or if she gets special treatment.
