Yeah, my parents do the same thing where I have to DRAW OUT the positive praise by saying: "gee, I'm really proud of myself." Finally, they'll be like: "oh yes, we're very proud of you too."
I think maybe your sister just rebelled. My sister was forced to do a lot of academic shit in sixth grade. Ever since then (she is now a sophomore in high school), she has gotten Cs or lower in her classes. She has failed like three high school classes....she was just overworked and now is rebelling. That could be your sister.
However, I think your sister is old enough to be responsible for herself. She knew fully well how expensive college is, and she should not be shown any pity.
