shes supposed to be my role model
the one that i look up to
but how am i supposed to be like that?
i dont want to act like her
she smokes, drinks, and does lord knows what else
she comes home drunk at 4 in the morning
making my mom take her stress out on me
she always leaves the house a mess
unlocked, stuff thrown on the floor
she has no clothes of her own
always taking other peoples
i know she steals my money
but my parents dont realize it
they dont do anything when i tell them
she screams at me
hits me if i do something wrong
and calls me names till she turns red
she has a job
but she still doesnt have money
my parents tell me not to give her any
but i do anyways
just trying to be a good sister
i hope i dont turn out like her
its mean to say
but i dont want my life that way

Hey iam sorry to hear that, but all families have problems it's cool I understand what you should do is try and talk to her one on one maybe she'll listen if shes screams don't raise your voice then she'll listen shes got no choice she can't hear what your saying because she's screaming on top of her lungs if she doesn't want to listen well then you tried another loved one lost sorry kiddo

Everyone responds differently to the inherent harshness of this world. It’s a grave shame we can’t all be happy, but hell, that’s life for you. Money is meaningless in the long haul, so forget it. I’m not justifying your sister’s stealing, just devaluing it… I suggest you tell her that you love her and you’re concerned about her well being. Maybe she’ll come around, maybe not. But at least you can say you tried.
