my friend is now 18 years old and found out that she has an illegitimate sister which is 13 years old and their living now together in the same home and unfortunately, she dont like it, she hate it, and she always get trouble with that girl.. i hope she realize what she is doing.. yes, that girl is illegitimate but she should treat her right, even not her sis but as a person..

at 18 your friend is a grown up and should stop acting like a kid..she has had that sister for 13 years just that she didnt know it..so she should make friends with her to make up for the 13 years lost!! whether she likes her or not they are family and no way she can choose family...the best way is to get along with her step sister..and treat her like her little sister and give her the love she deserves!

That's a big suprise, I guess. Finding out I have another sibling is like losing a family member for years. Plus, it entails for a lot of change in my part as well. I've adjusted quite comfortably well with my family now over the years and having another sister or brother will require some changes and, surely, compromises in my part.

If I understand correctly, the 18-year-old doesn't like the 13-year-old living with them? The older sister needs to ask herself, how is it the younger sister's fault that she was born out of wedlock and why should she be mistreated or resented because of it? If anyone could be expected to have a problem, it would be the younger sister.

I accept her as my own sister and give her the love she deserves from a sibling. Same blood runs in our blood,we're kin and love must be overboard than legitimacy !

...when your in pain you really can't see anybody's pain except your own, sometimes you see but then you get delighted by their pain instead of feeling any remorse... ...it's easy to say that someone should treat someone right, but if your in the shoes of that person it's hard to do so... ...imagine yourself in her place, really put your self in her situation, yes, it's not right and you need to talk to your friend about her behavior but don't be too hard on her for it's not easy, but ofcourse I'm saying this basing on my own experience, it's hard to face the fact that a parent you loved betrayed you and your mother/father...
