I know it's because we are spending too much time together but I can't really get out of the house because when I'm fighting with her I'm usually taking it out on my friends (who over react BIG time!). I just can't seem to keep the peace between my family and me and my friends and me. What should I do to keep from fighting with every one?????????????????????P.S. - I can't really talk to my dad about it because he always says,"you two just need to get along with each other," and that's usually about the only advice he gives.

 That would be like putting vicious dogs in a cage, and expecting them to get along. When he says that, ask him "OK, how?" Are you two fighting because it's really a serious issue you can't agree on, or are you fighting because there's just nothing better to do?
Since the two of you live together, and will be for a while, you need to talk to your sister to resolve the issues that are causing the fights. Maybe you can come up with a plan or come up with things you can do together to make your life at home a bit less hard.
Teens your age need to learn to compromise. What happens is you're getting to the age of wanting to be more independant, with that instead of respecting your sisters place of being, and that maybe she bugs you because she's not developing her wanting to be a lone just yet, but instead of respecting it, you see it as a violation of your independance.
