This is a rant, just to warn you.
My sister hates me and holds me in contempt, because we are polar opposites and she has the typical insecurity problems tied to popularity and other middle school drama. She also has an immense ego and an inefriority complex. She's a brat. She deals with her problems by bullying me. Her excuse is that I neglect her as an older sister, and that's even worse because it torments my conscious even though I make an effort and she's still a [censored] so I have to avoid her or I'll go psychotic and beyond just a catfight. She provokes me on purpose, because she hates my guts, and she can get away with more than I can, and so I have no peace in my life.
I can't move out of the house for five more years. I'm making no progress in arranging a truce.
Yay me.

If this comes across as condescending, sorry, it's not meant to, but sometimes it's hard to avoid that when one is aiming for sage old (31 would you believe it!) guy and probably misses.
Not sure how much this is going to help, but me and the older of my two brothers went through a similar phase, it ended once he got out of puberty, as is the case with most sibling rivalries, and I've seen plenty of them, both as friend to someone involved in them, and as a teacher to someone else. Basically the only advice I can give is: take a breat, be nice to her (if it helps, there are few things more annoying when you're trying to rile someone up than that person not taking the bait), but don't be a doormat either. And most importantly, remember that it won't last forever.
This is all probably useless for someone going through the whole drama right now, but you can always try.

I need to chime in here as I went through something similar when I was that age. I was the middle child and i always used to fight with both my older brother and younger sister as well when I was that age. It did not help my parents were in the process of divorcing at the time. Fun times, right?
Kajehase is right, this sounds like a typical sibling rivalry to me. Now the caveat here is I only know you by our interactions on the paizo boards, so i could be completely off base here. Still, I do get along well with both my brother and sister now, although we do not talk frequently. The point here is that you are not the only one who has gone through this situation, many others have as well.
Now if you think there is something else more serious going on, you might need to talk to a counselor at your school or church, or whoever you feel you can trust. It might help.
I hope this works out for you.

My sister and i argued/fought a lot when we grew up. She'd never leave me alone!(hah)
Nowadays, we get along great. Talking about how we used to fight tooth and nail just amuses us and makes us both laugh.
I suppose i am just trying to say: hang in there, and do your best.
Even if it doesn't seem to have an effect right this minute, i bet that it will settle down between you two if that's what you really wish to have happen.
