A male United States age 30-35, *ndrew loves hali writes:

I have two sisters one is 18 and one is 17. Harley is a great sister and has a 4.0 in school and Brandi is an alright sister too because I never see her, she's never home and she's doing really bad in school. Brandi lies all the time to my parents about where she is going she always goes to parties and gets drunk and lies to my parents about it, she smokes and lied to my parents about that but Harley told my parents. Brandi only thinks about herself and blames everything one everyone else, she has no respect for my parents or any of her family members like my grandpa who we haven't seen in like 6 years came up and Brandi went out the whole weekend he was here and partied.

My question is my parents and sister Harley are saying stuff about Brandi like she's a lier which she is and I wish she wasn't my daughter/sister, why did she turn out like this I'm ashamed ect.. I hate how they say these things because she's part of our family and they shouldn't say that about their child/sister but I do agree with the things they say and Brandi does need to grow up. I don't wanna choose sides but is it right that they are saying these things or is it fucked up and should I say something about it? I really need help.

A female reader, dumdum5g United States +, writes (19 April 2009):

You should call a family meeting and confront your mom and your sister Harley on being so belligerent and arrogant and confront Harley on her childishness.

You do not have to choose sides because none of it is your fault. Your sister Brandi probably acts the way she acts because she has a lot of stress on her or because there is noone there to show her the love and support that she needs.

Just sit back and let Brandi do what she wants and she will eventually learn by her mistakes and grow out of this rebelliousness act she put on.

Besides, she is a teen and teenagers make mistakes that they one day learn from.
