I know I don’t post much but if you see this please respond im begging you. I am really worried and confused about something that just happened with my younger sister and really need some advice.
My sister is nine years old, a lot younger than me and is usually a very outgoing person. Although sensitive, she has never acted in the why she has today.
Me and her were in the bathroom and I was curling her hair. We were chatting and making jokes, everything was normal.
Suddenly she asked me something. She asked me if I would be mad if I told her something. I of course thought that it wasn’t serious and told her that I can’t promise anything. I was joking, of course I wouldn’t have been mad. She then says that she got ice cream while she was on a walk with the dog. Her and my dad went yesterday.
I told her that of course I was not mad. But then she started crying. I was a little shocked and tried joking but she kept on crying.
I was really worried and asked her what’s wrong. She kept on repeating “I don’t know” over and over and over. She has never done anything like this and I was extremely worried and scared. I just hugged her and kept on asking what was wrong.
She told me she just felt bad about getting ice cream without me. I asked her if that was it and she said yes. I’m not sure what to think about that. Never has she ever done anything like this. She left and I let her be alone.
She is now watching tv and pretending nothing has happened. I have no idea what to feel and am still in a state of shock and panic.
Please if you see this give me some advice. I have no idea what to do and am still a minor.

@Mydogruby123 i have a lot of experience with younger siblings as I am the oldest of all mine . Usually that could mean that she’s just changing if ykwim. She is getting to the age where she’s a preteen and around that age is when I started noticing changes with myself as well . Maybe her emotions are out of control because of hormones . She’s most likely slowly turning into a young woman if you catch my drift . I say just reassure that everything’s okay and that you love her no matter what . If that’s not the case i don’t recommend forcing her to tell you anything i’d say just go with the flow but be wary . i hope this advice helps !! I love you so much and glad you’re back even if it was for a little

@Mydogruby123 I don’t have any experience with younger siblings (I’m the youngest of all my siblings), but I agree with the other person maybe try just inviting her to go get ice cream with you or it doesn’t even have to be that, just hanging out together doing something you like! And maybe she’s just dealing with some emotions that she doesn’t understand maybe? This is just a guess but it’s something I deal with and get frustrated about and end up not even knowing what I’m upset about- But yeah maybe just try hanging out with her and tell her that you don’t feel left out by her getting ice cream without you? It seems like a small thing but I think reassurance can help a lot sometimes-
