I thought you were a great guy, I really did. You were exactly what my beautiful, smart, 16-year-old sister needed at that time in her life -- or so we all thought. You were attentive and chivalrous. You made her smile and were well liked by our entire family and our friends. But, you were also mentally abusive, controlling, whiny, and quite frankly, a huge douche bag. I love my little sister more than words could express and I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not, but you really shouldn’t be messing around with girls who have older sisters with tempers.
My sister is outspoken, witty, and can have just as much attitude as any other moody high school girl out there. But, she is also gentle, giving, and compassionate above anything else. She gave you her world and you had no problem taking advantage of that as quickly as possible. You snuck into her life with your smooth words and wannabe mainstream, boy band haircut, but you destroyed her in a matter of just months. I will forever resent you for making her feel the way she does right now as she is laying on the bathroom floor crying because you’re “just not that into her anymore.”
So now let’s take a moment to call out all of the qualities about yourself that made me question you to begin with:
- You made her cut her long, gorgeously highlighted and highly cooperative hair simply because “you like short hair.”
- You dress better than I do.
- You kept track of her on ‘Find my Friends’ like a freakin’ hawk.
- You don’t play any sports.
- You don’t like any sports.
- Did I mention how awful your haircut is?
If you haven’t guessed it by now, I hate you and I probably always will. So stop texting her, calling her, and tempting her with the possibility that you guys might be able to get back together someday. Get your head out of your ass and grow a pair. She’s too good for you. I know you think you walk on water just because you go to a private Christian high school, play the saxophone fluently, and have a good ACT score, but you’re not. So the sooner you get that into your head, maybe you won’t treat the next girl as bad as you treated my little sister.
However, as much as I dislike you, I’m going to have to thank you at some point for teaching her how awful even the nice boys can be. Thank you for teaching her exactly how she should never be treated, and what she will never settle for again in the future. I know you’re only 17 but I sure do hope you grow up and find out that you’re never going to get a girl, or guy, if you play around with their emotions like one of your Scrabble games.
With love,
A protective older sister
