Wow, you are really a great big sister to be so worried about how you can help your younger sister feel more comfy about your growing up and having boyfriends or even just friends that are boys.

Maybe it's time to have a sit down talk with her and let her know that no matter how life changes, you can both be close and it won't change how you feel about her. Jealousy can be a difficult thing to feel both for the person who is feeling jealous and the one who the jealousy is shown towards. Jealousy is born of fear....so your sister is afraid she's going to loose her big sister or worse, her sister may get hurt and she doesn't want that to happen.

I think the best thing you can do is to make time each week to spend some quality time with your little sis. Go to the movies together, go shopping together, take walks together, go to the arcade together.....whatever it is....just doing it together is the main key

If your sister sees that you are making time for her, she is less likely to feel jealous of the new friends in your life.....I wish you both well!
