i have a young sister. She will be 13 in sept but she has out grown her age. She is even taller than me! The problem is, she is becoming disrespectful to every one including the very me she use to not only respect, but also cannot look in the eye.

I do tell myself that she is only undergoing what is normal. I have tried talking to her, but the situation is getting worse. Just this morning, she wanted to pass where my younger brother was sweeping. The boy refused saying she would carry dirts back to where he had swept. Before you know it, she started raining insult on him even though he is older. I told her to use an alternative route but she ignored my advice and forced her way through.

She finished what she was doing and still want to pass the same place again. I go so angry but did not touch her thats becos i dont believe in beating children.

My concern is, it is getting out of hand with the civil way i going about it. She may do it ouside and get beaten up. What do i do?
