Should I tell my sister how she makes me feel? She kinda bullies me and makes me feel like crap. I have an entire paragraph written out to send to her (because I'm too nervous to say it to her face). She literally made me cry tonight. The thing is though, she's my little sister, and I don't want to hurt her, but I can't deal with this anymore.

Maybe you can get a person you both admire and trust to be the mediator. If not I think you should tell her because she might not know how much it really hurts you and in the long run it might put a strain on the relationship. When telling her how she make you feel I believe you should focus on how her actions have impacted you rather than on her character. For example, say "when you do blah blah it makes me feel blah blah" instead of saying "You are a mean person". At the end of the day I'm sure she has different sides to her personality so coming at her character may not fully get your point across before she starts getting defensive. Also highlight in your letter than you want her to changer her behavior and that if she is acting like this because of maybe a way you have made her feel that you are open to talking it out with her. Last thing! (sorry for the essay) Make sure to tell her that as an older sister, you care for her and want to have a good sister relationship with her. Good luck!
