I have lived together with my older sister for the past 5 years. It is usually really fun and she does a lot for me, but we've been arguing too much lately. My friend always says that I am the one who started it and wants me to apologize.
Situation n.1: Me and my sister are watching a TV show showing some families. I speak out my mind about one mother because I believe that her parenting is wrong. My sister then tells me that I would be a mother like the mother I disapprove of. I get pissed because it means to me that she is calling me a future bad mother. Then she gets angry because she says that she can't communicate with me and that I am crazy for feeling offended. Was I right to get angry???
Situation n.2: For one of my birthdays, my sister composed a song for me on her guitar. It was nice and I liked it lots, the problem was that I was supposed to ask her to repeat numerously and learn it by heart...
It would help me a lot if people gave me their honest opinions on the matter as I need a third party to analyze it for me! Thanks in advance!!!

So there two sides to every story. I am only hearing your side - which is just as important as hers of course. My point is that sometimes we 'omit' our faults. I am assuming you haven't? don't worry we al leo it sometimes!
From what you have said, the comment about the mother on tv was quite rude and she had no right to say something like that. Doesn't sound like she had any evidence to say that and you are right to be offended. The comment about the song, if she wrote you a song and then got annoyed that you didn't learn it thats kinda rude to.
It sounds like you might have to take the upper hand with this situation and stop getting wound up by her. So when she says a deliberately offensive comment again, you just ignore her?
Also, you could try and have a one to one chat with her. There might be something she is hiding or silently resenting - if you give her an open forum to communicate it WITHOUT getting angry or judging then you may find out what it is.
Good luck

It reads to me like both of you are responsible for instigating these arguments. Both of you seem highly opinionated and lack tact when interacting with each other.
