17-year-old wonders if she's wrong for not letting her 14-year-old “horse girl” sister ride in her car since she refuses to ever take off her dirty cowboy boots: ‘I woke up at 6 am to catch the bus for my first 2 years of high school'

Obtaining your driver's license and first car is a significant milestone in the life of any teenager. But, just when you think you've finally carved out a bit of freedom and individuality, and that you might actually be considered cool now that you don't have to take the bus to school, along come your little siblings to burst your bubble, demanding that you give them a ride, taking your chances of ever sitting with the popular kids once they see that snotty little brat climbing out of your car. (As if the mere presence of the car was going to change anything in the first place.)

Your parents aren't much help either; to them, the solution seems practical, and what's more, with you as your little sibling's chauffeur, they no longer have to worry about being pestered themselves. Of course, it's important to be respectful of other people and their things, even your siblings. So this is a good lesson for the younger sibling also to learn to respect people's things, even their siblings. 

Upon first viewing the subject at hand here it's easy to jump to the conclusion that the older teen who posted the thread is just been a stuck-up teenager who wants nothing to do with their sibling, but after reading through their account their request that their sister not wear their chronically dirty footware is quite reasonable.
