Question - (9 April 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 9 April 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have younger twin sisters of about 12 years old (i am 15). i used to get on really well with them, but recently they have started to go through that giggly, really annoying "im better than everyone stage" and the fact there are 2 of them just makes it worse.

they are really nasty to me, and even though i'm older, i can't cope with being put down all the time by them, and its really starting to get to me.

i have spoken to my mum about it, but she thinks its just a phase, but they really need someone to tell them they are being idiots.

what should i do?

Lol relax first of all

showing them it gets to you is only encouraging them.

Seriously have you ever heard of the poker face.

If not google it, it will help

Secondly we all go through it dont bother getting annoyed, they are 12 years old and developing there opinions is going to be a part in that, whatever they are saying is probably more of a attention seeking stratergy that anything else.

Ask them if everything at schools okay, if they like the way they look e.g.

If notwhy not tell them that you do not like to be spoke to in that way say why as well, try to connect with them my taking a interest in their hobbies and interests.

If you are at you wits end have tried all of the above insult them back not in a nasty way though e.g. they might say i dont like your hair, just tell them theres isnt so great either, but only when they do it to you!!

GOOD LUCK
