Is it just a phase? I hope so. Pt. 1

So I’m in a family of 5 kids. I being the 2nd oldest have a younger sister. Her name’snot important. She’s very different though, I don’t think she’s different from other kids growing up but different from me as person. She is easily peer pressured, I think all that I may be saying now she probably doesn’t even know herself, and I’ve had many breakdowns trying to explain to her how important being yourself is. She changes herself to have this ”look” in which I know for a fact is the result of being so easily influenced by her friends. Its not a positive influence, and I can say she’s really strong in rejecting alot of negative things that have come her way. But because she’s still learning I guess, I can’t blame her. I can’t blame her for growing up and being raised around the wrong crowd. Sad thing is, its starting to make her, who she is. I’m terrified. As an older sister I only want what’s best for her, but I guess she doesn’t realize that. I hope that its only a phase and that through an experience that will hurt her, I know it. She’ll learn from her mistakes. From what I know you gotta live so you can learn, but its hard for me to let her go through what she has to.
