Sister picking on me in college

If her sister is 27 and is still acting like a child, then she’s probably not going to change anytime soon. This is really about preserving your sanity, and picking a fight doesn’t really seem like it’ll do much good.



It is really pathetic a sister nearing her 30th birthday feels the need to act like a bratty middle school teeny bopper toward a much younger sister.

Keep that in mind every time she acts this way and don’t feel any guilt in tossing the teenybopper label against her if you feel the need.



2. It’s a snide way of referring to her remarks about how you’re not a “real student” because you don’t spend all of your time at the library or because she never sees you on campus.



Although I myself spent a lot of time in the library, I never spent the entire day there.

One good comeback I have seen used is “Are you so slow/dim that you need to spend THAT MUCH TIME IN THE LIBRARY?” Of course, I’d think this only works if your grades are the same/better than hers.

This comeback is also partially derived from assumptions I’ve observed of some parents/students here on CC that someone who spends all day studying in the library/anywhere else throughout the semester is either an “excessive grind/nerd” and/or not very bright for needing to expend so much time in doing so.
