My sister is now in college and is very busy. She is working at target 40 hours a week and has lots of homework. I feel bad for her but she is always fighting with my mother. They don't really get along but she never does anything my mom asks her to do. How can I encourage her?

i appreciate what your sister is trying to do, now we know she is working hard and she knows that we know that, there lies the problem pal.

I personally feel that this is a passing phase ! One gets real busy in college life.We need to complete certain assignments within a stipulated time ! Together with this the urge of topping the class and to be in the compititon makes one quite tense ! This is the time one really feels that he/she should have some real intimate persons to understand him/her along with his.her problems !instead of that if your mother starts nagging and nudging her, its very natural at this age for the resons mentioned above together with the nascent hormones to behave in a stubborn manner ! She should be approached gently, lovingly, passionately and coolly, to make her understyand that she is understood by you all. Its not that she doesn't like your mother, she understands every thing but its the circumstance thats making her to act like That ! This is a passing or temperory phase and soon she will realise this and she will apologise for her rude behavior...mean while you people be patient !!
