Little sister ALWAYS embarrassing me!?

So I have a little sister who I love to bits but shes always embarrassing me. I'm very open about everything with my family because I feel I can trust them but I forget my little sisters not very subtle about things. Lets say the first time I shaved my under arm hair. My little sister knew and we were at a football/soccer match and she said REALLY loud HEY MAISIE! HOW DID SHAVING YOUR ARMPITS GO? so I was like "Shut up NOW" so she made it worse by saying STOP BEING MAD AND EMBARRASSED MAISIE! I wanted the floor to swallow me! I was mortified! And then she told her friend I'd shaved my under arm hair and when i first started wearing a bra. The thing is, she knows better she's extremely clever and mostly mature for her age and we're only 3 years apart in age. I'm only 15 and when you're 13-15 and changing all the time it gets embarrassing! And today I decided to check out all the old websites I used to go on when I was like 7 and 8. You know the girly things like barbie.com and dress up game websites? I was just like "Hey I wonder if they're still there?" anyway I thought I'd closed all the windows but I'd accidently left one up and it was Dress up girl games and she was in my bedroom for some reason and saw it and started running around the house going MAISIE GOES ON DRESS UP GIRL! Again MORTIFIED! How can I stop her embarrassing me like this? I can't embarrase her back. I love her too much to make her feel the way she makes me feel. She's GREAT most of the time it's just sometimes...not so much.

1. first of all..that is really cute and shes 12? she should know better because 12 year olds KNOW what they are doing. you can try bribing her with something or tell your parents that she does this and they can punish her until she stops.
2. Turn around is fair play. She is also at that tender age of teen. Get something on her and threaten to tell the world if she doesn't stop. The only other thing I can suggest is to talk to your mom and ask her to talk to your younger sister. She will outgrow this phase but meanwhile you might want to keep your private business private. Also lock your bedroom door at all times.
3. sounds like she feels pretty trusting too that she can be herself and say whatever she feels too. truth is, you can't just say whatever because you feel safe with your family because you don't feel safe with your sister. Maybe you need to learn to be more discreet and tell your mom instead of announcing to the whole family. Or say it when little sis is not around which will mean saying things less often..... if you don't want her embarrassing you, you'll need to take precautions. obviously nothings too embarrassing for her? or is there?
4. i don't think that their is a better way than embarrassing her back so she could feel the way that u feel and when she ask u to stop that tell her that u wont stop it until she stops it ,,i think that will work..
5. I agree with writer93. The only way she will learn to stop embarrassing you is to find out that her actions have consequences. Tell her friends some of the things that she does. When your sister comes crying to you for telling her friends private things, tell her that every time she embarrasses you, you will will reciprocate.
