My 17 year old younger sister (me her brother 20) has progressively become less and less respectful to not only her siblings but my parents as well. She has always been short tempered but it’s become bad.

Over the past 3 or so years she’s been on and off friends with a certain girl who is particularly trouble to say the least. This girl smokes weed, gets with different guys regularly and constantly gets into fights with her parents and has been kicked out a couple times. My sister and her weren’t friends for a bit according to my sister and then one night she brought this girl over because she said she was kicked out and had no where else to go. Personally I would not allow someone like that in my house even if she was kicked out of her own but my parents were asleep and I didn’t want to start a fight.

Knowing the company she keeps I can only imagine the kind of stuff she gets up to. Of course I do not want to assume or accuse my sister of doing anything without proof but I think it’s fair to at least be worried or have suspicions. In my opinion if you don’t want to be accused of doing bad stuff don’t hang around bad people.

My parents express their dislike for this friend but my sister gives no effort to distance herself from her. I’m not sure if she is being manipulated by this other girl or she is deciding to make these choices out of her own free will.

Now my dad is, I wouldn’t say strict just cares very much for my sister and is very protective. Strict curfew, dress code and doesn’t allow my sister to go to any out of the ordinary places like a random car park or lookout late at night. All these things I think are valid especially knowing the kind of company my sister keeps.

Now the problem is although these rules are set in place and my sister likes to push the limits on them my parents enact no consequences other than a lecture or telling off which my sister seems to ignore. So my sister just takes the lecture and continues to make bad decisions. It’s causing my parents immense stress and it’s starting to rub off on me. My sister snaps back at my brother and I and even my parents at times.

She seems to not care for any of our opinions or voices and it’s making me feel sick that she is either being manipulated into treating her own family as strangers or she is doing it willingly. I believe my parents are being as fair as they can considering the cards she’s dealt them.

I guess my question is what should I do?

So my friends and I have been playing recently and we’re not like completely unaware of the sport but none of us have ever played for a team or played much other than with each other so our understanding of the rules are mostly from 2k and common basketball knowledge lmao.

One of my friends is shorter and likes to play very up close compared to the rest of us because he says that we’ll just shoot and he can’t do anything about it, even though the rest of us like to give some space because we aren’t the best of dribblers and don’t want every play to just be a steal or lose our handles. Give your opinion on this please I feel like what he’s doing is not fun and try hardy.

Anyway besides that he also argues that I shoulder charge him when I drive and that he can’t do anything about that also. I tell him that if I try to drive and you follow me my shoulder is inevitably going to hit your chest if you’re trying to stop me. I’m unaware if I’m extending my shoulder or not but I feel like I’m not because I’m not even thinking about doing that I’m just thinking about getting around his shoulder and to the hoop. He’s also never said I extend my shoulder just that I shoulder charge him which I don’t get what he means because I feel like he’s the one playing so close to me that I don’t have any other option but to make contact.

My question is how much contact is allowed when someone is trying to drive and what is the defender allowed to do and what is the attacker allowed to do. I mean this in a pickup / street ball setting.

Sorry the yap fest

Is it player or ai that would go to all the players an any plays ?

I quit working at the airport nearly 2 years ago and stupidly never handed in my ASIC card just now finding out I was supposed to do so within 30 days of quitting. I now have received an email saying I need to hand it in due to expiry but I have no idea where it is now and can’t find it. I’m reading I can face fines up to $3,300. What do I do and what’s probably going to happen ?
