I feel that I have never been very close to her, we never talk much and if we do its never about anything important. She spends most of her time in a different part of the country with her boyfriend but even when she is here we hardly ever talk. When we are forced to spend time with each other we always end up arguing and I cant help but feel she is always the one who kicks off first. I never argue with any of my other friends but she just seems to find any excuse to have a stab at me when were together, even for such things, I kid you not, as "Why are you standing there for? Cant you just not be an idiot for once and just move?!". I can't help but notice alot of her other friends from the past have also fallen out with her for one reason or another. Usually just petty arguments. I wondered if anyone here has ever had a relationship like this with a sibling? How did it turn out? I can see myself in 10 years time hardly ever seeing her again. Would that even be such a bad thing? Reply to this Question

The thing is, the only thing tying you together is blood. If you actually want to keep in contact with your sister then do, just talk to her though. Amicably. If you don't, meet up occasionally but not everyday.
All sisters go through this era. But at your age you it normally dies out. I think your personalities clash. Therefore you need to BOTH find ways of getting around the clash.

 My sister and I never got on once we hit our teens. The main reasons were because there is less than 11 months between us and for years my mum forced her to take me everywhere with her. If mum made her wait until a certain age to do things, I was allowed to do them at the same time even though I was younger. Also my sister had a twin who was still born and saw me as the unwanted replacement, hence my mum getting pregnant so quick again.
She used to get me into trouble all the time and hated me. That all changed when she left home to marry and had her first son. We now get on really well and are mature enough not to bite when we annoy each other. So hang in there and when you are older things might change when you have more in common. At the moment you are just the annoying little sister! x
