my little sister is such a tattle tale and i'm in trouble because of her now?

my little sister is 9. she always tells on me. my parents are away and my big brother is in charge. i broke curfew and he punished me and i'm grounded. and i was talking to my friend on the phone when i shouldn't have been and my little sister overheard me saying that i was going to sneak out to go shopping with her. my little sister heard this and told my big brother. he gave me a chance to not sneak out and didn't confront me about it until i got home. that was this morning. i didn't know i was ratted out and i snuck out and when i got home my brother was really mad. he started lecturing me and told me to go to my room. i didn't mouth off or anything like i normally do but i'm scared of what he's going to do to me. since i was already grounded he can't ground me again. what do you think he's going to do? what would you do? how can i show him that i'm sorry?

    You aren't sorry - you're only sorry you got caught. Your screen name says it all. He will probably tell your parents - good for him if he does. If you were doing what you were supposed to be doing, your little sister couldn't be a tattletale, could she. Rules exist for a reason - your safety and welfare.

    You did not get in trouble because of your sister, you got in trouble because you are dishonest. You are not sorry you are just scared of the consequences of your immature behavior. You will continue to lie and try to blame it on others unless you do some real soul searching and get right with yourself. And God if that is what you believe in.

    Time for you to do some growing up, accept that you made a dumb choice when you decided to defy your grounding and an even dumber one when you talked about your plans where your sister could hear you. I think you know you are pushing the edge of being out of control and you wanted to get caught because you need some one older to set some limits with you and make it stick.

    Take your punishment, whatever it turns out to be, and learn your lesson. It is way past time for you to stop behaving in such a childish and dangerous way.

    I believe you can be a better person so go for it.

    If that happened to me I would walk up to her and tell her that she is nothing but a damn tattle tale.

    This happened to me a long time ago and when little sister wanted to tag along with me I said "Get lost I do not want any tattle tales around"

    To teach her a lesson about tattling tale a photo of her up load it print it have her say in the photo "I am a tattle tale" and post it on the wall

    i'm a instructor and that i hate it whilst babies are continuously telling memories! i'm confident whilst i exchange right into a infant you're able to no longer have cherished each member of your classification, yet you probably did no longer tell on them each and all of the time! these days babies look to tell over the slightest element. perhaps it exchange into only as difficulty-free whilst i exchange into little, yet i do no longer keep in mind. in my opinion, i attempt to get the message in the time of to babies that I coach that if somebody is doing something that's (or would be) harming themselves, others, or kit, then i must be attentive to. in any different case i do no longer choose to hearken to approximately it. i'm a furnish instructor, and for the previous 5 months I taught a Reception classification, so the babies have been 4 and 5 years previous. 2 ladies have been maximum suitable acquaintances, constantly performed mutually, went to a minimum of one yet another's residences, and so on, and yet continuously felt the ought to tell on one yet another each and all of the time. and that they on no account did something to harm one yet another, it exchange into only stupid issues mutually with "Hannah's no longer crossing her legs on the carpet." initially i attempted to handle the criticism, yet at last I only began asserting something like "you will no longer have any acquaintances in case you save telling memories approximately them each and all of the time" and when I took that no longer difficulty-free line, the story telling did shrink severely. My reason at the back of no longer liking telling memories is that it takes up a great style of my coaching time if i've got have been given to handle petty issues. i've got completed furnish a pair of instances in a classification of five and six three hundred and sixty 5 days olds, wherein the instructor encourages the different babies to 'tell on' a woman who retains sucking her thumb. in my opinion, i've got self assurance that if the instructor needs to ask the youngster to end doing that that's one element, yet i don't be attentive to how she will stand to have her training interrupted with consistent cries of 'Emma's sucking her thumb back!' from different babies. I additionally do no longer think of that's totally advantageous to motivate babies to concentration on, look out for, and element out one yet another's undesirable conduct. I felt relatively sorry for Emma to have everybody examine out her whilst somebody 'advised' on her. I many times pronounced to whoever had advised - "properly, it is not hurting you so permit's no longer hassle approximately it."
