I’m going to effing explode. My sister is so damned annoying. She’s so shallow it’s unbelievable and she never takes any responsibility for the crap she does. She lies all the time and right to your face with this stupid innocent look and when you confront her, she smiles and laughs! Today, the first thing she does is go in my room with her friends, the day after she yells at me for going in her room saying she’s going to “smash my face in with a brick” if I ever go in it again. So she’s in my room with two of her friends, playing with my radio and singing karaoke, screwing with my stuff and whatnot. And she also swiped my candle recently as well, which is really important to me (and she knows it) because I use it to meditate and cover up the rancid dog smell too. So I’m going crazy looking for it, and she’s denying ever doing anything with it. Guess where I find it? Her toy bin. Not to mention the fact that she comes into my room on a weekly basis, gets dressed in there and leaves all of her disgusting dirty laundry on my floor along with a bunch more of her stupid crap. Um, hello, I do not want your dirty yellow underwear on my floor that I just vacuumed. Then, she leaves my middle window open. Now, that window does not have a screen. It fell out and broke and we don’t have a new one yet. My dog was locked in the room at the same time. My dog likes to jump on the windows and is crazy enough to jump out if he sees something interesting. I live on the second story; that would not end well. I only found out about this when I went outside to get my bike and saw him leaning his head and neck out of the effing window. If he fell out or jumped, he could have died. When I confronted her on this, she first lied and denied it. But when I continued all she did was smile and say, “Well I’m sorry, I was wrong.” in this stupid, innocent, whatever tone and then, “That’s what Mom tells me to say to you when you’re mad.” Um, WTF?! This is your dog too and you criticize us if we even look at him wrong, yet you seem to have no problem leaving him with an open window that he could easily jump out of and die. You also seem to have no trouble not feeding him or giving him water, or pulling and tugging on him until he starts whining and growling. No, you LAUGH at it. Jeez. I’m going to murder this child. She never takes anything seriously and ignores whatever I/my parents say. We have tried everything from explaining what she did wrong to yelling and grounding her. What the hell am I/we supposed to do here?

Put a deadbolt on your door. That way she can't get in at all.

And only have one key and keep it in your bra/underwear/somewhere she won't go near.

If all else fails, take a sledgehammer to everything in her room.

I agree with obscene. My parents are snoopy so my brother put SIX locks on his door along with sticking a fake security camera to his ceiling....it looks really real.

The things he cares a LOT about, he puts in a little safe locked in his spare little closet.

Get a screen installed and like superglue it in. If you can't get one now, use a piece of wood or cardboard.

As for the candle, i would hide it or put it in a safe when it isn't in use, and keep some spares. Because honestly, she sounds like an evil bitch that people would want to strangle and slap with armadillos. Yes, armadillos.

Hit her.

Hard.

I agree with what everyone had said so far. Well, except for hitting her because that could get you in trouble. With the key idea, you could also put it on a chain around your neck and wear it under your shirt(You have to make sure it's a good strong chain!). That way the key will always be with you and you won't risk losing it.

If your parents are reluctant to let you put locks on your door, tell them what she's been doing if you haven't already. It is very important that they know and it would help with the argument about the locks.

If your parents say no to locks on your door, beg for a safe. And also, if she keeps leaving her dirt laundry in your room, just put her clothes where she can't find it, hopefully she'll learn to stop doing that. You can't really be blamed for moving them out of your room.

It's really hard to punish kids who are stubborn and believe that they never do a thing wrong. My brother is one of those people, but luckily he's matured a lot and can at least admit when he is wrong. He's also gotten some manners too. So the best you an do is keep drilling it into her head that what she is doing is wrong.

By the way, how old is she?

If she leave her clothes on your floor again, take a photo and then throw them out of that middle window.

Then screw the middle window shut until it can be repaired. That's really unsafe.

Burn her clothing. Hide her stuff and screw with it. That way she can go through what you've been going through. Maybe she'll learn a lesson.

Or not. Some teenagers and preteens never learn.

But other than that, I can't really suggest anything that hasn't been said above. Good luck with her. D:

She's ten. And we do keep drilling into her head it's wrong. A few days ago she spilled nail polish remover on my parents wood floor. My parents grounded her and refused to buy her the graduation present (iPhone) she was promised. And just yesterday she brang nail polish and nail polish remover into my parents room (with wood floors) to do he nails. I like the clothes suggestion though. And I'd think it would work seeing how crazy she is about her clothes and crap.

If only my parents would let me. =/ They're afraid of one of the dogs getting locked in there by accident. I'm really tempted to do the second one though.

Oh you have no idea. X.X But I like the safe idea. My parents have one in our basement I'll see if I can use.

I would, but them I'm at fault too and my sister still gets away with it. But, thank you.

Hopefully she will learn to grow out of it in a couple of years, then. Good luck!

LOL. They were going to buy a ten year old an iPhone?! There's part of your problem, ten year old kids shouldn't be allowed near that shit. She's being spoilt, if she's getting promised stuff like that. I'm sixteen, and my parents wouldn't even dream of buying me one of them if I was that badly behaved, and they wouldn't promise me shit. They'd probably send me to live with someone else, in fact.

But I think you should get a lock. And keep the key on your person at all time, then she can't get to your stuff and try and kill your dog. :/

Well it was mostly a bribe. They told her if she did really well on the state tests and no twos (like Cs) on her report card, for graduation they would get her the iPhone. Normally, my parents would laugh at the thought of getting her just a cell phone. Anything she gets, she usually has to pay for, and if not, work it off.

It's still strange that they would promise her such a thing, knowing that she doesn't treat you fairly and she ruins stuff. If she ruins floors, what's to say she won't drop the £300 phone and break it? That'd be such a waste of money. :/

I know it seems like I'm picking on you, but I'm not. I just honestly can't see a ten year old with that destructive capability to have such a delicate, and expensive, piece of technology.

[[ edited; because I'm a retard and I can't spell. ]]

Actually, I was thinking something similar about the whole thing. My sister has broken/lost certain things like that before. Her digital camera being one of them. I guess they were just desparate to get her to graduate.
