It’s extremely beneficial to have a support system when you live with somebody you simply can’t stand. Create a group of supportive friends or other non-judgmental family members so you can vent and get advice.

Avoid calling your sibling names or telling on them (unless they’re in danger).

Instead of competing, team up to achieve a goal! Whether you decide to build a fort, start a band, or convince your parents to get a puppy, try working together instead of against each other.

If you’re a teenager or kid and you can’t stand your sibling, don’t try to run away. You will be putting yourself in a lot of danger, worrying others, and running away from your problems will only make them worse. Try to cope with your situation instead of trying to escape it.
