If you're both in the same room and you're watching porn, make sure your headphones are attached properly.

I think regarding sex stuff... Context might help.

My family is Muslim, and my mom absolutely would not let my younger sister have a boyfriend. When I was my sisters age, my mom completely avoided talking to me about sex. My older sister is also not a nice person, and I know my younger sister and her basically don't get along.

So knowing all this, I worry that my sister, now being left alone for three weeks, is going to do what probably a lot of kids will do at her age. Rebel. But I'm not confident that she's had any talk with my mom or sister regarding sex other than "don't, or else". I really don't want these three weeks to be bad, I don't want her getting pregnant or getting an STD or any shit like that.

Just do your own thing and do small things wth her. Like watch movies (in the theater also), play games (board games and video games), go window shopping no need to buy anything. Heck, go take a small trip or a hike somewhere. It's the small things that matter and can actually lead to meaningful relations. Especially family ones. I'm sure you guys will be fine

Oh, also, there are a few posts talking about being an authority. Those people are insane and should not be listened to. Do not give this girl chores, unless you're an amish family and butter needs churning or some shit.

If this was directed at me I disagree. If one of my adult friends spent the night I wouldn't expect them to do anything. They're my guest. If that same friend was staying with me for a month however I'd expect them to pull their weight a bit. Nothing major, but expecting someone staying in your home to pick up after themselves is not unreasonable. Admittedly chores may be a poor word choice, expectations would sound better.

Tone is important in this conversation since I do agree that no one likes being talked down to, but I think having expectations laid out would be more fair than if his expectations for her behavior and hers are different and it leads to an argument later.

While teenagers like being treated like adults they are not and can have some very annoying behaviors. If they have work early in the morning and she has her music loud at midnight that would cause issues. Letting her know that they have to get up early and if she wants to stay up that's fine, but wear headphones (that are plugged in) would avoid the need later to go to her room and tell her to turn it down. It's mutual respect.

Indeed.

Also buying and making your own food can be fun thing to do together.
Remember to make deserts etc.
