Ya gotta RELAX i know easyer said then done right?





But ok, So when she comes to stay with you,\


Tell her the rules sraight up


But dont be too strict eaither





Give her some space but not too much


Like let her help u come up with the rules


Like meet er half way on a cerfew time





Tell her that u dont wanna see her geting into


Trouble and let her know that no matter how


Much she has messed up that she an always come to u for help





And if she screws up , Try not to yell at her


Let her know ur dissappointed but dont


Like flip at her

I'm not really sure why your dad would force that upon you, but I'm a smart, well-behaved 15 year-old girl, so I'm sure I can help.


1. Check her cell phone if you suspect something. Check her texts, who shes' texting, etc. She's probably used to her parents doing this to her.


2. Curfew. Establish rules and boundaries.


3. Meet her friends. Know who they are, if they can drive, where she's going, if anyone else is going to be there, etc...


4. I know I'm making it sound like you need to be a witch to try to raise her properly, but if she's getting into so much trouble, you need to do something! I would suggest to try to get to know her better, also. The #1 thing I argue about with my mom is that she never listens to me, or isn't paying attention. Listen to her, ask questions, strike up a conversation, etc. You've just taken on a huge responsibility, and all the bases must be covered here. Discipline, understanding, and monitoring are all key.





Most of all, love her. She's your sister, so I'm assuming that's the case, although you're eight years apart, so it may not be a close relationship right now.





Good luck! I hope you help your sister succeed.
Be nice to her, but also be strict. Lay down the rules; tell her what she can and cannot do. Give her a curfew. But you can also spend 'quality time' if you have not bonded enough.





Try and be the cool older sister that every teenager wants to live with. ( :


Make sure that your rules are reasonable (ones that she will follow)


If she breaks one of the rules, give her a punishment.


Example: Maybe you could ground her from her cell phone, tv, computer etc.


Keep up with her school work, and make sure that she does her homework, or anything school related.


You could maybe get her into an after- school sport, or an extra- curricular activity.





Good Luck!


Hope I helped!
I'm 14 and I have a trouble child sister whos 17. Believe me I know trouble my mom has called the police 4 times on her! My first piece of advice is chose your battles. Dont get all DO IT NOW! Basically second don't pull the ';i'm in charge'; card unless you really have to keep it friendly. As soon as she gets there set litmits that you could live by when you were that age like a cerfue. Have movie nights and girly sopping days to make sure your relashtionship stay good when you are an athority figure. Never forget you can always call home for some help.Good luck!
I feel as if she has been ';raised'; already. The raising age is like infants - preteen.





I was 15 last year and my parents could not change or raise me anymore, they could only limit me. She is at the age where she has to desire to change.... you can't change her anymore. She thinks abstractly and can reason.





Lay down the rules and if she does not follow them, lay down punishments. That's basically it.
That is going to be one hell of ride for you both. Not trying to scare you but it won't be sisterly wonderland and you know that anyway. My 31 years old brother has raised me since I was eleven and his rule has always been ';do as I tell you not as I do';. He said to me when I first came to his home and he was much younger that he was finishing growing up and that he wanted to make sure I understood he was not perfect but that he was the figure of authority and he expected respect and honesty regardless of what I thought of him. So for example, my brother used to smoke but he never allowed me to, he stayed up until very late but I had to go to bed at a certain time. It seems confusing to not lead by example but because you are young she might think she has a free pass on things and she shouldn't. Make rules for both of you about talking honestly and doing the best to live in peace, let her know that she is welcomed in your house and that she is not charity case, and don't be afraid to be the impopular sister when you need to discipline her. Give her resonable responsibilities, she is not a baby and let her make some reasonable choices too. Help her feel at home by allowing her to decorate her room or pick up some persona ittems so she doesn't feel like she's in a strange place. Talk to her with honesty, if you are feeling stressed out or worried about what things are going to be like tell her so and say that you hope for the best. She doesn't have to like you, she has to obbey you. Good luck.
The same way you would raise another person. You help her with homework, you discipline her, you feed her, you lay down the rules and don't let her walk all over you just because your her sister. Whilst she's in YOUR house she'll abide by YOUR rules. Just think back to when you were 15 and how your parents raised you.





She might actually relax and settle down abit whilst she's with you.
i think its a good idea. it will help you grow up and her understand parents point of views also. Little sisters look up to their big sisters and she will be more likely to reason and listen to you then her parents. I don't know if you have seen the show What I like About You, but its the same concept.
Sucks! Teens these days are just awful. The paretns [sisters] with the most rules NEVER win. Don't be a total push over but don't set so many rules or expectations.
It's all about discipline. If she smart smouths you or acts up, remind her she is not too old for a good spanking.
Help her to make good choices and reach her full potential.
I'd take Shelly Beans advice.





Plus she's mad hot!
Ur dads a lazy d1c|{
JUST ACT LIKE SHES YOUR ';FRIEND'; AND HANG OUT W/ HER
