Hi guys. I’m new. I have a little sis (11) who is down right ****ed up. She is a total *****, and makes me wanna punch her in the face ( I know,I know, It isn’t fair that she is 11). She such a suckup to other people but treats me like ****. She gets to mess with me and my parents don’t care but when I call her a brat, my parents FLIP OUT. For example, my family has 2 computers in the house. One is for her, and one is for me. My sister’s computer is way faster than mine. I enjoy playing FPSes like Combat Arms 
. However, they lag on my computer. So I have to play on my sisters. She lets me play on account that I have to get off when she tells me too. That’s fine. But today she came home and started *****ing about how I play 24/7 on her computer. I don’t. I get off when she tells me to(except for this once when I was in the middle of an important match.) I really want to punch her but she would snitch and my parents would kick me out. What am I going to do!!!
Get a job and pay for your own computer.
How old are you?
13
This is important. But really, you’ll just have to wait until you can buy your own.
I mean, the fact is that your parents gave her that computer for her use, not for your games. I am an avid video gamer myself and can’t defend you.
If you were using it for schoolwork/homework I might reconsider.
Punch her.
So your selfish brat of a sister - who lets you play on her computer with certain conditions which you admit you didn’t (at least on one occasion) follow.
Eh who am I kidding - you’ll argue about stuff like this for another 5 years or so. Might as well get used to it.
- Her computer, her rules.
- You don’t “have to” play on her computer.
- There’s no such thing as an important online game.
Next time you want to yell at your sister, imagine it’s some other 13-year old boy yelling at her and making her mad. Would you put up with that? Would you let some other kid make your sister cry? Hopefully not. No good brother would. So why do you think it’s OK for you to do it?
Be a good brother.
I’d say your sister is showing more maturity than you, due to the fact that she lets you play on her computer when she isn’t using it.
Most 11 year old sisters aren’t likely to do that. Especially the “right ****ed up, total *****” ones.
No.
You do not “have to” play on your sister’s computer. She is letting you.
ETA on review: what Chessic Sense said
<obligatory grumpy father>
BOTH of you get off those computers, stop playing silly games and get your homework done! And after that you can either help your mother with chores or get outside and get some fresh air!

ETA: And turn off the lights when you leave a room!
Presumably, hers is faster because it is two years newer (I’m guessing your parents bought them for you at the same age?)
Have you asked her what it would take to do a trade? If she mostly just uses hers for Facebook and homework, yours would probably do her fine. Note, however, that you’ll get nowhere with her (or your parents) by saying she should trade because you need the power for gaming.
Make her an offer she can’t refuse (that doesn’t involve threats and/or violence).
Go clean your room.
It seems to me like the easy solution is for her no longer to let you use her computer, and for you to retaliate by not letting her use yours.
What’s that? She doesn’t want to use yours?
So what do you think she’s getting out of letting you use hers? Is there anything she’s getting out of it beyond the good feelings that come from behaving selflessly?
If there is, please share. If not, then by definition she’s not selfish. If you’re not giving her anything in exchange for her letting you use her computer, and you’re getting angry when she fails to let you use it, by definition you’re the selfish one.
Your parents are totally correct to flip out when you call her a brat. You are totally incorrect to say she treats you like a bunch of stars, since she’s already letting you use her computer.
You owe her an apology right now, and you owe her some favors in exchange for the use of her computer, and you need to wait to touch her computer until she makes the offer again.
Sounds like you and your sister have a good relationship going on. Don’t screw it up by demanding that she let you play on her computer. Also, when she says that you need to get off of it, do it within a few minutes. No game is important enough for you to screw over your sister. It won’t be long before your 11 year old sister turns into a 14 year old who won’t have anything to do with you… so enjoy what little pleasantry she is affording you now.
And pull up your pants!
Oh Hangman. I love this game.
F?
You play on your sisters, she gets to mess with you and you get off when she tells you to?
Punch her? I bet you have already donkey punched her.
(Since when had Straight Dope become Dear Abby?)
Is your homework done?
Are your chores completed?
