my little sister
is in that age... and it freaks me out. i really can't stand her being locked in her bedroom, online talking with whoever. she's been a real pain in the ass lately, with all this new friends she's making. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm only saying that she likes to show off and thinks she can talk to me like if I was some dumb common criminal. And I don't like that, as a sister I respect her and therefore she must respect me. But she thinks just because her friends are in her bedroom she doesn't have to. So I rather not talking to her. And jeez... kids this day are horrible. Too much TV can really affect you, and they're living proof of that. But also, I cannot tell her this. So I don't. I shut up. To not ... make her to hate me, cause I'm right (on my way), but I don't want her to hate me either, so I shut up. I don't even complain to my parents. But it does freak me out... especially boys. They scare me. They're not like the boys when I was 12, and still then they were a little more gentleman. Now it's all about "hey give me your msn/facebook/fotolog/whatever" and they think they know each other. The immatureness of this kids is what scares me. I like to blame it on the TV, but their parents are guilty. Letting their kids watching TV is way easier than sitting with them and talk about... I don't know, Gaza, maybe. Or that's just me and my dad. The other day I used a metaphore while we were having dinner and my sister stared at me like "wtf did you just say" and it wasn't THAT hard to understand. It was this one: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life." It really isn't that hard to understand, is it? This whole issue freaks me out... one day I couldn't find my eyeliner, so I went downstairs and asked my sister "do you have my eyeliner?" and just freezed. I honestly never realized that someday I was gonna ask her that, and when I did it felt weird. But oh well, that's just how life it is. I still can be a good big sister and try to talk with her (NOT using metaphores).

Little sisters growing up is a weird experience. Mine is suddenly going on dates. I guess it's easier that she's been in "that stage" for quite a few years, though. I think it's just her personality... metaphors are wasted on her, too. I don't know if we can totally blame television. I guess in part. Even for our generation, technology often gets in the way of actual interaction and I think it's detrimental to our ability to be human. Good for you, though, for holding your tongue. That's hard to do.
i totally understand what you're saying. my sister is 11 and she's already.. maturing.. and talking about boys and having her little preteen hissy fits. i miss her when she was younger somtimes because you could say something to her and she wouldn't have a smart-alec contort back. but now i can't talk to her without her giving me this kind of stand-offish cold attitude, and i hate it. but if i mention one word to her about how i feel about her, she'll go all crazy and hormonal on me. so i just shut up, like you do. although i do sneak in some sarcastic remarks once in a while... but when i do, she either ends up ignorning me or she gives me this "hannah montana" sigh... it's really irritating, actually.
in other words, i completely relate. i think i know how my parents felt when they thought that my family was 'growing up too fast'. it's especially true with little kids nowadays... like fuck i see 7 year olds with cellphones and talking about boys and kissing and i'm like 'wtf.. is that seriously possible?! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE?!'
that's just a little pet peeve of mine.
oh wow. sorry for ranting XD
gah! i relate also. I don't have a sister, but i have a brother, who TRIES to act like some immature guy. He would talk to ladies in a immature way and then i step up and tell him never to talk to a lady like that, he would either get slapped in the face or get effed with a slut who has HIV. In my opinion, it's the guys that surround my brother (he is only 9 and he hangs out with 16 year olds) he gets into peer pressure. But when i bring him to go see people his age. THEY ACT THE SAME. I tried bringing my ex boyfriend into it, asking him if he could talk to my brother about it (he is a serious gentleman, his mom would always..beat him if he was never polite and his dad would....beat him if he was never kind to ladies) When he did my brother said "don't you go out with my sister?" William nodded. then my brother said "Why the HELL are you trying to tell me what to do?" I almost killed him. He is not suppose to cuss (hes 9!) and he was not suppose to talk to anyone like that.
Damn boys. Damn the new generation. it scares me too. GAH i ranted also!
