Jenna Describes Ongoing Conflict With Her Younger Sister
TikTok user @jenna..flowers is discussing why she is no longer speaking to her 13-year-old sister after a series of disputes involving personal space and damaged belongings. In a video posted to TikTok, Jenna described the conflict and asked viewers whether she should install a fingerprint lock on her bedroom door. The video had received 21.3 million views and 24,906 comments at the time of publication.
Jenna said she has four siblings: an older sister, a younger brother, a younger sister and a 3-year-old brother. She explained that her 13-year-old sister had been the youngest child in the family for 10 years.
“She is the epitome of the youngest sister. She doesn’t care about anyone else’s stuff. She will curse you out no matter where you’re at. She is just very destructive,” Jenna says.
Jenna said she tries to be a good sister and has a positive relationship with her 20-year-old sister and youngest brother. However, she described her relationships with her younger siblings as more difficult. After the family moved over the summer, Jenna said she spent more time around her 13-year-old sister, who allegedly followed her frequently and often expected Jenna to pay for her things.
Jenna Says Clothing Was Damaged While She Was Away
According to Jenna, her sister also regularly took her belongings and damaged them. During a three-day trip to visit old friends, Jenna said her brother texted her one night to ask whether she was home. Jenna reminded him that she was away, and he told her that someone was sleeping in her bed. She initially thought he was joking.
When Jenna’s mother picked her up from the airport, she asked whether Jenna wanted to hear what had happened while she was gone. Her mother allegedly confirmed that Jenna’s sister had slept in Jenna’s bed and taken several items of clothing. She also told Jenna that her sister had eaten Cheetos in the bed.
Jenna said she was especially upset because she cleans her room before going on vacation so she can return to a tidy space. After arriving home, she checked the laundry and said she found that 10 items of clothing had been damaged during the three days she was away. She identified the items as some of her nicer clothes, including a $125 Free People sweater and another sweater she had spent a month saving to purchase.
“And all over the sleeves was like orange. So I think she was wearing it, which was about bed, eating the Hot Cheetos,” Jenna says.
Jenna said she found approximately 15 additional damaged clothing items in her room, including a pair of underwear. She clarified that she does not object to people borrowing her clothes because she has borrowed clothing herself; her concern is that borrowed items should be returned without being ruined. Jenna also said she recently found her mascara in her sister’s room.
At the end of the video, Jenna asked viewers whether she should purchase a fingerprint lock or another type of lock for her bedroom door. She also questioned whether her response to the situation was excessive.
TikTok Users Support Jenna’s Desire for Personal Space
Many commenters said Jenna had a right to protect her bedroom and belongings. Some criticized her parents, arguing that they had not intervened sufficiently in the conflict.
“I’m so sorry your parents are essentially failing at parenting and your sister is acting terribly – you deserve so much better and this is NOT normal. i hope things get better and tbh therapy wouldn’t,” one user wrote.
Other TikTok users encouraged Jenna to consider a fingerprint lock or another lock that her sister could not access.
“everyone telling you that you’re over reacting doesn’t know what it’s like to lose control of their personal space w/ no one to defend them. and think this is normal but it can become too much,” another commenter wrote.
A third commenter described a similar family conflict, writing, “Please do not let people make you feel bad about you decision. I have cut as much contact as possible with my younger brother since he was around that age as well and 4 years later it still”
