My sister. Basically seems like she wants me to kill myself. Tells me I cut for attention, tells me everytime I laugh that I'm fake laughing, tells me whenever I cry I'm lookig for attention, and used to tell me that everyone hated me and that I was worthless and that she wished I'd die and when my dad died she told me it was my fault. never apologized, and meant every word of it. My ma never disciplined her. Is that verbal abuse? Or is that normal?

That is definitely not normal. Your sister is being inconsiderate and mean. Is there an adult in your life that you trust? You should talk to someone about her, because she's being no where near appropriate. You are correct in assuming verbal abuse.

Yes that is certainly verbal abuse :/ Have you asked her why she is doing it or what you have done to make her do that? I have a mate that used to be like that with his mum and even though I was his mate I thaught that telling your mum to go die is discusting. But on the flip side she would shout at him all the time and treat him like a baby. So it could be that you have done something that has annoyed her but she could also be jelous of you in some way. Do you have something that she does'nt? Have you got more mates than her? Is she jelous of how you look? Try and find out what you think might be causing her to do this to you :)

Yeah, it's verbal abuse. She's ignorant, but that's no excuse. You should consider telling someone, though they may not take you seriously since in my experience verbal abuse is much less "important" to the authorities than physical abuse.

As stated before that is verbal abuse.

You might want to consider talking to someone about it. As there could be other problems that reside. In the end this could help your sister out clearly something is bugging her and it seems like she is just taking it out on you. I would talk to your parents and let them know.

that is NOT normal. Ask her why shes doing it. Maybe people try to bring her down, and in return to make herself feel better, she repeats the action on you. It sounds twisted, but it's possible.
I would tell your parents what's going on, and then get their suggestions if they have any. Then try to do nice things for her, to show her you still truly love and care about her. Try to talk to her if you can about how you feel about her verbal abuse, without any negativity from her or yourself. If mean comments come up, just walk away and keep doing nice things for her.
Remember, no matter what she says, you are still you. You are still the person you were meant to be.

Definitely verbal abuse. I would sit down with her, and ask her why she does it. If that doesn't work, go to your parents. They can, and will, stop this.

I'd say some of that is not normal at all her blaming you for certain things and telling you to die is so wrong. I'd say that's abuse and her thinking is irrational on her part if she believes any of those things are true or your fault because there not. I hope you talk to someone about this. <3

That is definitely verbal abuse. Did this start happening recently, or has she always treated you like this? There are probably other issues with her that she needs to deal with...taking things out on other people will not get her anywhere. You should definitely tell your parents, and if they won't listen, tell one of your teachers or counselors at school.

No way José.. That's definitely unusual.. I mean, normal sibling will always have a go on each other (of course that wears off, when you get older)

I don't think you should talk to some adult, but to to your sister. ask her a simple question;

"Why?"

Besides the whole thing about your dad dying being your fault I'd say this is normal
