Sisters can hurt you

Hi-ya Sam! Ok, well, this is my question. I have 2 sis's that I really love. But whenever my best friend is around it seems like my one sis likes my friend better than me. How can I ask my sis if she likes me more than my friend?

Hi-ya MoJo: I have sisters too, so I know what you’re talkin’ about! Sometimes having a sister is a great thing. When you need some help with your homework or someone to go biking with, a sister can be a best friend. Other times, sisters can hurt your feelings very much. It’s impossible to get along with your sisters all the time. But, dealing properly with sisters while growing up will teach you how to deal properly with women later in life.

The best thing to do whenever you feel hurt by someone is talk to them. Tell the person how you feel without accusing them. I’d say this to your sister, “Whenever my friend comes over, I feel like you like her more than me. It makes me sad.” If you have a good relationship with your sister, she’ll apologize. If talking to her will make things worse, include a parent in the discussion to help make things better.
