On the morning of her death on June 22 last year, the pair had argued because Ben had slept late and Bethany did not wake him.
During lessons later at Calder High School in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, she doodled on her left arm in ink, 'I hate my brother'.
Bethany's accountant father Richard was still at work and her older brother had gone to the cinema with his girlfriend.
Her mother Estelle said Bethany took her dinner upstairs and played music.
She said when Ben returned home, he was asked to take a basket of laundry upstairs - and found his sister hanging. He and his girlfriend untied Bethany and gave her CPR.

Recording an open verdict, Assistant Coroner Peter Merchant said she left no suicide note and he could not be satisfied she intended to take her own life.
He said despite that morning's argument and the message on her arm, Bethany and Ben were normal siblings.
'It seems to me it was a typical relationship between a 13-year-old sister and an 18-year-old brother.
