Hi, just a teen girl with a problem with my argumentative little sister.
So basically, she's 14. She has had a thing where she loves causing and trying to win arguments. About anything. And because she kept 'losing' them, she has gotten worse over time. Because my mom and dad often support me, and try correcting her, she just scoffs at them, cusses, says I'm always wrong, accuses me of lying.. All the time. She does it almost everyday too, and pretty much sets them up to happen.
But what can I do? She just gets worse and worse, and I know that it's really bad for her health, my family's, and mine too. I hope that you can help. Thanks.

I really love my parents. I really care about them, too. But they never told me how to show that. All that they ever told is to show my anger. I feel really bad...

What if is happens in real life?
I have this dream that night that my dad and my family and lied about and about twin brother because I have twin brother but back to what I was saying my family...
When people keep trying to win in something or another, it's not only because they are argumentative. It's because they need someone to acknowledge their existence and appreciate them. Please don't flag or see your sister as a problem child. She needs support, not in the sense that you need to agree to her arguments. But in the sense, that she is not a difficult person to communicate with. She needs to be made aware that you guys love her and appreciate her. Don't condemn her or patronize her; it would only make her worse.
Yes, the mental health of you and your family is getting affected. But the person who's most affected by it all is your sister. Not you guys. She is simply 14 but age is just a number when it comes to emotional problems.
Talk to her. Don't condemn her at any cost. Tell her what you feel. Listen to what she feels about the same. TALK. Understand. And Solve it TOGETHER. Lack of proper communication is always the cause for a toxic family. I know it's super hard to start a serious conversation with a family member talking about your feelings and stuff, and even more so, when it's with someone who is hurt, like your sister. But, you have the chance to fix this issue. Just rip the bandage off and do it. Go to your sister whenever you're ready.
ReplyMaybe that's just her way of expressing her sadness.
