Zeraph, I like your avatar.
Here is what I would do in your shoes:
Talk to your mom about being passive and allowing your little sister to control her through unhealthy and childish tantrums. It's important that mom, the authority figure in the house, is not under your sister's thumb - espically if she acts like a little girl. Every time someone caves to your sister, it's like they are telling her that her behavior is acceptable (which it obviously isn't). I, personally, cannot stand tantrums, and do not tollerate them from anyone. You should do the same. I suspect that the ceiling fan is just the latest in a long line of tantrum triggers. It's time for her bad behavior to stop.
If she want's to put the thing up, then let her do it or let it stay down. If she needs help, let her ask you herself, instead of yelling and such. If I am to help someone with anything, all they have to do is ask nicely. A 19 year old woman should have the maturity to do what she can herself, and ask for help with respect when she needs it.
I was already engaged to be married and was paying my way through college at 19 (and was married one year later).
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend.
