about

Hi. My name is Corbie. I'm 15 and a sophomore. Don't let the age fool you though. I do have a good bit of wisdom with certain things in life. You can ask me any questions about whatever you need, no matter how rediculous. I am a very understanding person. I will be honest; sometimes I don't know what to say but I can still be helpful. I love my boyfriend Monty. We will have been dating for 9 months on his birthday; February 2. I also lovelovelove MUSIC, poetry, rainbows, penguins, pandas, koalas, puffins, clounds, rain, spring, and daisies. I'm not a big person on politics; I don't really discuss them. I would like to go to school for Elementary teaching and Ministry with kids. I love kids. I am a full time worker with the children program at my church. Other than that I am a simple person. I will try and help you out as best I can.

I'm 16 and a girl. I live on a ranch. I have three older brothers and my dad who worked on the ranch. My oldest brother doesn't work anymore because he lives in a different town. My middle brother still works and my youngest older brother works on the ranch. Well I don't work on the ranch unless they ask me too and I do whatever they need me too. They don't ask me often, but when they do I do what needs to be done. I usually just stay in the house and do house chores. Well my youngest older brother (Barry) is really rude to me. He always tells me how lazy I am. He says I'm a spoiled brat (which I'm not. I work for a lot of things I have). He has called me a bitch many times. He has hurt me physically in the past and continues to damper my confidence. My parents worship him and anything he says they back him up. It is really starting to take a toll on me. I cry everyday hoping things will get better, but they just get worse. Am I wrong to think this is abuse? What do I need to do?

I don't think you are wrong to think it is abuse. It can be taken in many ways. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. Family should be about love, support and honesty. They just need to understand that you suceed and are responsible. Maybe your brother is just jealous and loves the attention spot light. But he has to learn it wont always be him that is right and the most important. He has a lot of maturing to do and your parents need some parenting skills. They need to listen to everyone and know that not the same person is right all the time. I say just stick through stay strong and don't give up. You are a confident woman and nothing as little as that can bring you down.

ps-learn karate or self-defense haha. might come in handy.

Good Luck
