My sweet sweet sister

My mother shared something about my sister a few days back. As much as it made me worry about her, I believe this will help her grow into a lovely lady who cares for others and a sensitive and strong young lady.

My sister has two good friends in school, whom she calls "best friends". Let's name them R and E. Well, my sister is a sweet little girl who truly puts others before herself. She is really sensitive to others' feelings so much that she would sometimes neglect her own. That's who she is.

Though both R and E are my sister's best friends, they don't get along at all. They both don't like each other to the point of "I don't friend you". And so because of this, my sister is stranded in between the two. If she follows one, the other gets angry. Both R and E are the bossy kinda kids. So whatever they say, must be done. That kinda thing. R has the habit of ordering my sister around. E has the habit of using her pinky to get my sister to go to her. Sounds like my sister is the "servant" or something. Also shows how kids these days aren't taught respect and showing kindness to others.

As much as we adults see this issue as R and E's fault, i think that seeing from my sister's point of view is more important. What my mother has been doing is to help my sister understand that what they are doing isn't right and so she cannot do the same to others. My mother has also been trying to help me sister know how to react to these bossy acts of R and E and helping her realize that she has other friends and not only them.

When i heard of this issue that my sister's going through, i was reminded of myself. In primary 3 in HK, i was caught in between two of my best friends then. Both didn't like each other as well. I remember crying at night cause i didn't know what to do. Can't remember how everything ended. But i guess i grew up just fine and having great friends whom God has blessed me with.

That's my sister for you. She's still trying i think. Will be praying for her and her friends. Hopefully she'll grow from this issue. For those who know my sister, please don't talk to her about this okay? She'll be very shy about it. What you can do is pray for her and kids these days..
