My sister is 12 and is the same way. All she talks about are cellphones, iPods, Myspace, her boyfriend, and crap like that. She was allowed to play on the laptop that I got for MY high school graduation ($800 flippin' dollars) anytime that I wasn't touching it. My mom let her. I stopped that tonight when I came home and there was a chip on the top of it. She flipped out when I got my iPod and took my old mp3 player. She went behind my parents back and got a Myspace. I found out and told my parents eventually but she was allowed to keep it. The minimum age on there is 14 for a reason. She is allowed to go more places and be dropped off than I ever was. I didn't get a car until I was 18, she will have one the day she turns 16 I bet. Things like that really piss me off. She doesn't get punished for ANYTHING. She is the biggest smartass I know. She is always rolling her eyes or doing the little hand gestures when she is talking to anyone, my mom included. I really don't understand why they don't treat her like I was brought up.

My sister is 12, and the EXACT same way. Thinks she knows everything, and when she "gets grounded" it doesn't last as long as its supposed to.
