okay so about a month ago my sister who is 13 got into an arguement with my mom and ran away.  when they found her she was at a guys house who is 18 (i think).  a couple of days later my parents found her smoking and grounded her, then they let her go out for an hour and she comes back with her chest covered in hickeys.  to make things worse a few days ago she stole a boat (my parents live on a lake), she came to stay with me because doesnt really act up around me and she stole my fiances credit card and ordered a bunch of stuff on the internet.  i really have no idea what to do about her, she is driving my parents insane and i cant handle her, any ideas?

try introducing her to some friends perhaps. they will hopefully keep her busy and occupied so she doesn't reak havoc like she has been. that or explain to her the consequences of her actions....

and and 18 year old guy... hickies... and she's 13. i'd ask her about that.

Punish her. Not like grounding her, actual discipline.

i dont know how to discipline her, im 17 and she is 13, she just doesnt usually act this way around me.  she has friends and everything she just never wants to hang out with them...she always wants to be around boys.

they sent her to stay with me because she always said she wanted to live with me, she never acts up when she stays over but its just like someone hit her in the head with a shovel and she is the worst child in the world.

Haha, I hope not. I don't really know what I would do in your situation, but she sounds like she needs a serious attitude adjustment

Maybe, but it would probably be more effective to have her stay a couple days rather than just one night.

Have a long talk with her. Something is really bothering her in order to act this way but instead of telling you guys she goes off and runs off. You said that she doesn't hang around her friends much? Do you know if she got into any arguments with her friends? Do you know if any rumors were started about her? Ask her whats wrong. If she continues to act this way I agree with the person above, take her in for a couple of days. Discuss her problems, you're her older sister she just might open up to you about it. If she continues to act this way ground her, and when I mean ground her...I don't mean just one day. Ground her for about as long as you want, take her phone, video games, etc and try to get her to open up again.

Your sister sounds like she is getting out of control and it could possibly get real worse if someone doesn't step up and discipline her.
She also might be feeling like, ''Hey I did this, so why can't I steal a boat and party with my boyfriend too??'' She needs to know the consequences of doing the things she is doing. A simple reality check.
Start off with some ground rules for her, make her earn the privilege of actually going out with her friends. Sit down with her and have a long talk about what she is putting your family through. She might actually realize what pain she is putting you guys through and ease up a bit.
If you cannot have a serious talk with her, get an older relative to talk to her about it. Someone that she might have a little bit more respect for. If you don't act ASAP, then the situation will probably soon get really out of hand, and tragedy might strike your family. Take the whole situation as a personal responsibility, a goal perhaps, a mission that YOU CAN NOT FAIL.
You gotta know that she is your sister, and as a brother you have to be her for her no matter what. I hope everything works out for you and your family.
