Is it normal that my sister is...

Who cares if it's normal or not' it's not healthy.

I have a feeling you already know that, so why do you feel the need to get the backup of complete strangers on IIN? You said that you are "concerned" for her, but I think the truth is you just want to justify your negative opinions about her lifestyle.

This is an issue for you sister and parents. What you can do for her: You should treat your sister how you think SHE would want you to treat her. You are her older sister and it's your job to make her feel good about herself. Pointing out her weight problem, is not the way to help her, so try not to tell her about it. If you want to help her more than that, you could start inviting her to hang out with you, so the two of you can do something active together. Never ever correct her eating habits, that's not your job as a sister (it's your parent's).

I suggest you talk to your parents about this. Sounds like is getting worse. Try talking to her about it. More like motivate her to go out and play with you or something do it in a positive way thou. Don't do it in a mean it negative way thou.

140 pounds is not overweight. she's eleven. she'll probably come out of her shell during her teenaged years. if not, THEN you should be worried. until then, leave the poor girl alone. society today encourages kids to spend all their time rotting in front of the tv or computer, as well as eat junk food. she's just being a kid.

Wtf?! How could your parents let this happen?! Allot of her problems could be mental/emotionally related so, try to take her to a therapist. Does she go to a public school? If so, then what do her teachers say? Surely, they would've said something to your parents, right? Wow, I'm a bit "baffled" right now, but definitely drive the nail home to your parents and take her to a therapist. Prolonging this any longer will only make things allot more worse. She needs help now!

proboly not but like one of the comments might grow out of it . I ==

hun, she may need proffesional help. {:/

I've been worrying about this same thing. My brother's the same way, only he's 17. He'll be turning 18 and graduating soon and I worry that he's never had a job. I really think he needs the experience. He has no social life because of his attitude. He's smart but lazy, and ALWAYS needs to be right and looks down on everybody. He tries to make them feel stupid but instead makes himself look ignorant, tactless, and douchey. He spends all day and sometimes all night on the computer. I don't think it's normal at all. Most guys like to play video games but it's not healthy to have something like that suck away your life entirely. Everybody needs friend. Real ones, not virtual.

Dont blame her, shes 11, blame your parents, seriously. Which parent would let them kids do dat???

Wow idk dude take her computer away

she just bieng a kid!

Whoa. Do u think something traumatizing happended to her at all? If its a sudden change after a few years then maybe something bad happended to her and shes deptessed she doesnt care anymore. Have u tried to form a relationship with her? You maybe all she has.

It sounds like ur sister has some issues , maybe from school , kids picking on her or somethin .She prob. Knows she's a big girl and that doesn't help her self confidence. You truly seem concerned , If u have patience u can help her , start out small try to bond w/ her , ask her to go for a walk with u that u really need to talk , like u need her opinion, if she says no continue say but I need u , it doesn't have to b important it could b somethin stupid like , changing ur hair color or whatever , make it about u and not her . Continue doing stuff like that maybe then she'll open up to u . Do it in a big sister way , like doing her hair ( u know u look so pretty with ur hair this way ) then do it . Instead of telling her to eat better or go outside and play it's good for u , start interacting with her in little ways , just talking gets her away from the tv and computer , she is a kid and the more u tend to push good habits or things on them they push back, try reverse psycology , ur parents should b the ones concered about this , ur sister is lucky to have u , Good Luck Honey ! =)

Thank u so much broadway 77 u r a miacle!! Thank god for u and best wishes!! I never even thought of therepy god bless you!!

:( This is not normal. At all.
Whoever said 140 is not overweight is confused. I'm 16 turning 17 and I weigh 120 and I'm at an average/healthy weight.

You really need to discus with your parents that your concerned for her health and future. This poor kid is probably picked on a lot D:

Maybe suggest she takes up a sport or a healthy diet?

I went through the same exact thing as your little sister. HELP HER. She has a very low self esteem and she is mad at herself and at the world. You have to talk to her and try to get help for her. When I opened up to my parents about my feelings I was taken to therapy and started taking pilates and it did WONDERS. Please take my advice.

And for lol_bamf yas i know i have trouble gianing weoght :p but ibdont think im underweight im just right im just naturally tiny im very short:p

yeah she needs some fresh air :/ what she's doing is extremely unhealthy

100lbs? You skinny little fucker :-S

140lbs is a bit too big for 5'2". But 100lbs is too small for 5'3". I'm 5'2", 110lbd max.

Talk to your parents. Or, if you get home before from school or any event. Lock her outside for a few hours and her only way through a window. But put a pie on the windowsill as motivation.

&& shes no just being a kid when i was a ki i played in the woods i spent all day every day outside and i have great memories bc of it i dnt want her looking back and thinkin what the hell did i do with my childhood?! Ya know'

Im never mean to her and ive been on my knees beeging her to get outside and go swimming or just play and she wont do it whatso ever ive almost given up and shes been overweight her entire life im 5ft 3 and weigh one hundred and like five maybe shes an inche shorter and weighs 140... Im normal weight for my heightth so how cann she possible not be overweight????

Normal unfortunately

You should definitely try and help her. Or she will be like that her whole life.

Damn! If something isnt done now, thats obesity in the bag for the future.
