My younger sister is 11 years. I feel she does not socialize much because she does not like the way most people behave. I want her to socialize more and have lots of fun. Also she is afraid of the dark. What should i do?

Talk to your sister, or make her talk with the person with whom she is most comfortable. She might be having any problem with her studies, her personality, her school friends, whatever which might be causing a inferiority complex in her. This might be the reason that she is avoiding to socialize. She needs a good listener & a good assertive support.

You need to know full history. Is this due to some incidence in past or it is a trait. Then only you can help her. Visit a good psychologist.
