HELP! how do i tell my sisters..?

okay so i'm 17 and i'm going to get a breast reduction on febuary 9th.

my mom and i are the only ones that know about this and i want to get the strength to tell my sisters.

one of them i know will be understanding about it because she's been through things also and i've been right there for her.

the other sister NOT so much...she will go balistic at me and my mom.

how can i work up the strength to tell them both...without there being a big fight...

thanks in advance.

Update:

OKAY for those who don't understand the whole "sister" thing,

the fact is that they are all the family i have, my dad isn't in the picture, so they have been like a father most of my life.

i want to tell them because i love them and the next time the see me it'll be WEIRD.

i don't want to keep this from them..but it's HARD.

    You have the right to do what you're planning on doing without consulting your sister. If your sister doesn't like it too bad. You, not her has to live with the burden of sore back and neck muscles. It's really none of her business.

    Source(s): Daughter and sister had the surgery. They're VERY happy with the results.

    If you know how they will react, just do it. If your ballistic sister is prone to over dramatize and have hysterics over things that don't even involve her, this will probably be no different. You just have to deal with it. At least your mom and other sister will be supportive of your decision. The other one will just have to have her hissy fit, be the center of attention for a while, and move on. If she's so self-centered that she can't even let you do something to improve your health without making herself the object of attention, then she has problems. But you probably already knew that. Narcissists hate not being the center of the universe and this kind of thing will put you square in the center so she'll probably spend some time trying to think of something to bring the focus back to her. Do your thing and mind YOUR health and peace of mind.

    If you can't muster the strength, that will be fine. Tell your more understanding sister in person. Either ask that sister to tell the other sister or tell her over the phone and then give her time to blow off steam if you think she's going to be upset.

    how bout you go back to my question and read the things i added. so i can get a better answer from you?

    and btw idnt think your sister should get mad at you its your choice and if your mom approves then it doesnt matter what your sis says because shes not ur gardian.
