That is what 8 year olds do.

Of course, complaining about it is what 16 year olds do.

The circle of life.

You're the older sibling, tell her to get out. Assert your seniority.


Or you could wait until your parents have friends over and act like your sister in front of them.

So are you concerned about your friends making fun of your sister or is she just embarrassing you?

You need to tell your parents that you know that your little sister doesn't understand that your friends are laughing at her and not with her, but they need to realize that some day, after many years of therapy for her low self-esteem that has resulted in several failed relationships with men who physically and emotionally abused her, she will have a breakthrough when her long supressed memories of the emotional abuse she suffered by the actions of your friends at this moment surfaces and she realizes that the it was the root cause of all the psychological trauma in her adult life which could have been prevented if they, her parents, had not neglected her emotional well-being in her time of need.

But I could be wrong. :p

What exactly are you planning to do to stop her?

She's your little sister, and long after your childhood friends and even your parents are gone, she'll still be your little sister. Think about what you want that relationship to be like in 40 years, before you do anything. She'll remember mean words and hurt far longer than she'll remember laughter, especially if she doesn't understand where the laughter is coming from.

Hey, I was just trying to help you get her out of your room, don't confuse me with facts. :)

Yes this is perfectly normal. An 8 year-old is just so thrilled to be getting any attention from <WAY COOL> 16 year-olds <WAY COOL> that they'll act absolutely ridiculous around them. I know it's annoying and embarrassing to you, but don't be mean to her, it's part of being an older sibling. No matter what she does or says, she looks up to you, and the things you do or say matter a lot to her.

You could try bribing her! :)

why do you allow your freinds to laugh at your sister if she is 'retarded'

i understand laughing with her, but laughing at her knowing she has a mental disability is wrong....your her big bro man...take care of her

This statement confuses me. Does she have a true mental or physical handicap? Or is she just acting like a goofy 8 year old?

You could gently and tactfully ask your parents to give you a hand the next time your friends are over, or you can ask your friends to try not to encourage her.

It is a touchy situation though, with her handicap and all. You can't just tell her to "beat it"... or, maybe you can. Good luck with that one.

Although I don't think your little sister should be hanging around with you & your friends all the time & feel your parents should back you up on this, you arn't much of a big brother if you let your friends laugh at her & make fun of her.
