You have a younger sibling who is in grade 8 who has a horrible attitude and is constantly disrepectful. You no longer live at home, but you talk to your 5 siblings frequently. Your Father and Step-Mother have, as your other siblings have grown up after you, taken a decidedly hands-off approach to parenting and often have your 13yo sibling preparing meals for the family and don't enforce household rules.
One day on a popular social networking site you see your sibling saying some very hurtful and offensive things in their status updates. You talk to them about it and they respond by saying something rude and belligerent and meant to hurt your feelings. They continue to post rude and increasingly inappropriate things on the website.
What do you do? Would you talk to your parents about it as a concerned adult sibling? Would you sit down and talk with your sibling face-to-face?
