Hey Nikky!
My mom’s my bestie too. So, I can understand how you feel. It is ideally her responsibility to divide her time and attention between you and your sister equally. Maybe she feels that since your sister is growing up, she needs more time and understanding than you do. And that is perhaps why you end up getting and feeling ignored in the process. I would suggest you ask her to spend a little more time with you too, and let her know that you feel neglected.

As for your sister, she needs to be schooled, and since you’re older than her you can teach her what’s right and what’s wrong, but a major part also lies in how and what your mom/parents are communicating to her. If they are not teaching her to respect her elder sibling, then there’s only so much you can do. Maybe she gets better over time, maybe she’s just in her pre-teen phase and being annoying for no reason. Whatever the reason might be, don’t lose your cool over this, just think that she’s a child and doesn’t know any better and that you’re the adult and more mature one and therefore you have to teach her.
Thank you very much buddy,but my sister hates me and does not listen to me at all,how to teach her,she disrespects me a lot,and interfere in my matters, iam developing bitterness and resentment towards her,how get rid of my resentment it eats me completely.
I suppose…giving her a taste of her own medicine? If she interrupts you, you interrupt her. If she’s rude to you, you also treat her rudely. She needs to know that only good behaviour begets good behaviour in return. I know you don’t feel nice about resenting your sister, but it’s okay. It’s normal to feel that way, especially when she’s behaving like that. Just don’t harbour on to the resentment completely, after a while try to just breathe it out and let it go. But no need to go nice or soft on her, till she learns how to treat you properly.
I don’t know if it will be useful to you but it’s better not to go down to someone’s level or let personal relationship exploit you and make you a bitter person.
If at all it is possible , move out from the house. Maybe not the best option. But if you can try it will help you.
Find a part time job. Make some friends who can teach you or take you forward in life. Save money and do something good.
Trying to save the relationship which family can be really emotionally draining. (Been there, done that)
I would suggest if you spend your time and energy into making your self something.
I really agree on this one, even though I’m the one who wrote above replies, I think this is a better way of dealing with things.
