You are a human. The basic nature involves such things as anger, jealousy, love, hate etc. So first stop feeling bad about it. Secondly, she is your sibling so you should see what could be done to maintain a healthy relationship with someone who is so close to you. Try and recognise the cause for your jealousy. If your sibling is getting more attention, appreciation and gifts, then its your turn to look at what you have got. Many a times we ignore what we get and think that others are getting more than us. If your sibling is being appreciated about her grades in school, her looks, her skills. Then instead of being jealous, take it as a challenge to hone your own skills. If your sibling is younger, they are more likely to get all the attention because people think you are the tough nut and they are the 'weak and innocent' who need protection. So just calm your negative emotions and try to see the real cause. Many a times, you are a hero in your sibling's eyes although they might not admit it too often. They might fight with you but in their hearts they have a true admiration for you.
