Just because we share the same parents does not mean we automatically like each other. There are many issues that can cause problems between siblings. You have to find a way to deal with this on a practical level and to try and see their point of view too. They are probably feeling exactly the same way about you.

It may be that as you and your siblings get older some of the issues resolve, or maybe you'll never be close. Although it may be hard to deal with right now, it's a life skill that you need to learn. Throughout life you will find that you have to work or be alongside people you don't get on with on a personal level.

If it's a new addition to the family that is causing you worry, you must talk to someone about how you feel. Your fears will not improve unless you face up to them, they will just multiply. Try talking to your mum or dad about it or an older sibling or aunt. Your friends may have an inkling as to how you feel and many may have been in the same situation before; they may make a good sounding-board.
