A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Okay,

so a few months ago, in march, my older sister threw a party while i sat upstairs. my parents kept trying to call me because they were stuck at the seattle airport and i ignored the calls because my sister, "hannah" told me she would never forgive me if i answered; well the party got busted and ive never been able to forgive myself for not answering the phone and keeping "Hannah" from being kicked off the team. Now, nearly 9 months later, she home for three weeks until she goes back to college. I founf cigarrettes in her purse. i asked her about them and she told me she would quit; this was 2 weeks ago. Christmas is tomorrow. but i cant keep this in any longer. I get in trouble and grounded for "acting weird" as i cover for her. and im sick of taking the heat for her. i want to tell my mom so bad, because me and my mom are extremely close. I dont want to ruin Christmas though...

help?

It's not your job to police what your sister does or doesn't do. Stay out of her purse... what if you'd found birth control and she didn't want to share that fact with your mother.

If she's in college she's old enough to make her own decisions, and your mother needs to get more in her life so that she can be the one who finds this stuff out... you're mom's not doing that because she DOESN'T want to know...

I bet your mum already knows. It is good that you care, but your sis sounds old enough to make a decision like that. Besides, you will regret telling on your sis when you need her to take your side in the future.

if u think u can confront her without it being weird during the holidays go for it, but otherwise wait till after new years and tell ur mother or talk to ur sister about it, because it could be somthing thats to personal for her to just overcome, but then again it could just be herself being curious and experimental. but the party thing seems like what a older sibling being cool would act like, cuz my brother (32) is like a 17 yr old acting out in high school. hope this may help ur thoughts
