I have become severely stressed out with my older brother. I'm not naming any names. For the past three or four years, he has been aggressive towards me and only me. It's like he doesn't care about me at all. Ever since the sixth grade (and him being in seventh) he and I would carry our fights over to school. Mostly, how it happened is that he would call me a slut and hit me and I would name call back and try to hit just as hard. A lot of the time, he would try to force his larger friends to hold me down so he could beat me. This happened almost every single day and still happens. Normally, it's his ignorance or my stubborn attitude that sets each other off. Either way, he will call me a "slut", "whore", or any other kind of profound name, and I return the favor. Twice, he has almost broken my arm. He constantly leaves bruises all over me. My mom and dad will always take his side. I am now fourteen, and he is fifteen. I am tired of being beat on constantly, I am tired of the ugly bruises and questions, and I am tired of living with this lame excuse of a family. It seems the only person who seems to care is my sister, but she is going to college this fall, and she can't do much about any thing.

First of all I blame this partially on hormones, because that is what you will hear from a lot of people.

In my opinion, I think this is absolutely horrible. A man should never lay a hand on a woman, girl, sister, girlfriend whatever...PERIOD! If you have gone to your parents and things have not been handled I'd say go to your counselor in school. When things started spilling over from home to school it became the school's problem too. Now, you may be out of school for the summer, so I recommend you sit your parents down and show them the bruises and tell them it is out of hand. If they continue to ignore the problem just document the occurances (write down who, what, where, when and take pics of bruises). If it does not stop after a month give your parents a copy of what you have to show and tell them you want to have it taken care of before it gets really out of hand.

Things like this are often early signs of things to come. If he is acting this way to his own sister there is no knowing what he will do to a girlfriend or wife or even strangers in the future. You need to raise the flag and bring this out into the open now before someone gets severely injured or worse.

What he is doing is absolutly horrible. No man should lay his hand on a woman unless she is going to kill him (but he probably deserves it if shes going to kill him).

Siblings are just natural to fight, but the fact that it has escalated to injury and now interfering with your school is not good. as stated above, school may be out but you can still contact the office and ask for either the counciler or someone else who can help. I fully agree with taking pictures of your bruises and keeping them to show family. If they will not help then I suggest looking for a hotline that deals with abuse. I do not suggest contacting police, but if it is necessary, then do whatever it takes for the abuse to stop.

Your parents take his side? Wow, insane. Seriously, what you need to do is get some pepper spray, and next time he decides to hit you, see how he feels when you spray him. And do it EVERY time. Sooner or later the ass should learn to stop doing that to girls.

Ugh, what a jackass.

pepper spray is a good idea. If you dont want to be confrontational however, you can force your parents to act.

Speak to them again, show them your injuries. If they show signs of favoritism tell them if they dont do something you will go to the police and show them the injuries. no rational explanation will account for your injuries.

I know it kinda sucks to call the police on your family but sometimes you have to do whats best for you and this does not sound like healthy environment.

most kids run away from home when faced with situations like these. I hope u can resolve these issues peacefully.

As others have said, get child services involved if talking to your parents doesn't help the situation. Both of you are still considered minors by definition of law. This can be considered neglect on your parent's part.

Or if you're scared to, ask your sister to call them.

Also, as Yaaqob has mentioned, if it carries over into school, get the school counselors involved. Family or not, this is still considered bullying and the school can intervene on your behalf to your parents as well. They can probably even suggest psychiatric help for your brother, as this is a clear red flag for abuse.

Well, i have 3 brothers. Ones about 2 years older then me, ones about 4 years older then me, and the other ones about 27.

They all all went through the stage one me, what did i do. i learned how to fight dirty, Bite, Kick, scratch, go for the eyes. Crouch shots, do as much as need be. And, definitely get the councilors in there.

if you're family anything like mine, then either you're parents will fear for his genitalia, or something stupid like that. And they'll tell you're brother to stop. And, eventually you'll grow up to love each other.

Pepper spray may not be the best idea...that may set him off and trigger him to lose control. Don't do anything to cause him harm because things could escalate. Just go through the proper channels and if you have to go to the authorities.

I'm gonna echno Lira and everyone else. Get a figure of authority who can do something into play. If your parents aren't helping, you need to move up the chain of command. Make sure you tell them first that you will not tolerate being verbally or physically battered and that if it happens again you will go to the police (no need to jump to CPS from the get-go). Keep us updated!

i agree with every1 saying u need sum authority 2 help
and if that doesnt work u could use this song...

haha

^^

HAHAHA. boondocks ftw!

Everyone else has pretty much said what I was gonna say..
I don't suggest pepper spray or fighting back.. that just might make things worse.
