I don't exactly have that situation to relate to, but even now, here at college, I feel like I was raised so differently or raised to think differently than everyone around me. I see people wanting to do certain things and it makes me sad and I can't understand it. Like the sex thing, personally, I just can't imagine wanting to just "have sex". I sometimes wonder if I'm thought of as a prude too, but I'd rather be that than other things. Oh well. I understand your confusion though, if it makes you feel better.

The funny thing there is mature and then there is mature yet irresponsible beyond belief. You and I were both raised with really a level head on our shoulders from what I gather. Which is interesting because what always seemed like a real good idea to others was a horrible idea to you or I for that matter.
I hope you don't see my comment as that of a stereo-type, and look past the the fact I didn't go to pubic school and therefore automatically had no social interaction at all.

Two people raised in the same environment can turn out WAAAY different. On the other hand, two people who are very similar in personality or genetics, raised apart, can turn out eerily similar (case in point: me and Krystal). Obviously you're worried for your cousin, and with good reason. But unfortunately with her being so far away there is little you can do to change her. But as for Julie, I'm sure as your little sister she looks up to you and values the examples you have set for her. And as long as you're there for her to talk to about stuff, you can help guide her in the right direction, as I'm sure your parents will also help to do.
