What do? Sister's a mess

That's bad. What is she thinking of doing in the future? Mooch off a wealthy man?

Well no two siblings are alike.

I'm the oldest and got terrible grades and fucked around in high school, but I have a stable job and my own place and everything is pretty damn good, even without my college degree.

My middle sister did GREAT in college, but is kind of dependent on someone else taking care of her (she's chained boyfriends for years and is moving in with the one that's going to law school so she doesn't really have to work ever again).

Youngest sister is all over the place, but she was the one that really took the brunt of my parents divorce (she was only 2 when it happened) so being in high school still, she's definitely of that age where she fucks around.

As long as your sister isn't getting into hard drugs or dropping out, she'll be okay, most likely.

She probably has interests and talents she doesn't even know she has yet, and that might not be exposed until after High School (a notoriously bad location for natural talents aside from fact memorization and homework dedication).

The absolute best thing you can do is support her with whatever it is she wants to do, and let her know it gets better after high school. Don't be so arrogant that you think that your way is the *only* way.

Likely she doesn't exactly feel great about it either. I suggest talking to your parents and asking them to let up on her, or make homework a more positive, rewarding experience somehow.

How are YOU in a predicament? This is something your sister and parents need to work out. It doesn't involve you

At the cost of sounding like a dickbag, she's not exactly likeable enough to pull that off

We've tried everything. Positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, taking away her phone. Nothing's worked. I've seen a lot of people's attitude towards school but I have never seen someone as self-destructive as her.

>he absolute best thing you can do is support her with whatever it is she wants to do
She doesn't want to be helped (nor will she let me)

Because at least at some naive, immature level, I care about her (okay, using the word "care" very loosely, but you get the idea)...
What I'm afraid of is that this is gonna turn out like what happened with my dad and one of my uncles (he's always unemployed, can barely hold a steady job, doesn't want to put in any effort to do anything of value) and that I'll eventually end up having to waste my time on someone that will neither (a) appreciate it nor (b) do what she needs to do to get her shit together...

Sorry lads...

Fuck off with your Messiah complex bullshit. You can't force her to stop being stupid anymore than I can force you to stop being a meddling cunt. All I can do to you is offer advice that hopefully will mend your way of thinking, and that's all you can do for her. Tell her to get her shit together in whatever way you think works best, and otherwise leave her alone
