about

I'm 16 and I love drawing, listening to music and hanging out with my friends. My family and friends always tend to come to me for advice or support because I'll try to help no matter what. I like to help and offer friendship to those who need it and I'm always willing to give time to answer a question someone needs help with.

advice

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?

No, you say you work for everything you have, so it is clear they are being unfair. If they think you're worthless than that makes them no better. Calling their own family member worthless is extremely disrespectful. You need to stand your ground in a polite way, prooving to them that you are not worthless and that you won't take that treatment from them. By doing this, you'd show them that you're all grown up and play an important part in your family. Don't let anyone tell you that you're worthless, cause if you were, you wouldn't exist. Tell your brother that you just want to get along with him and that you're tired of fighting all the time. Fighting is worthless, but you aren't. Proove that to your family( you shouldn't have to)but do what you can to make them see, that you have feelings and they aren't worthless!
If this was any help at all then great!If you need anymore help than message me, cause I know where you're comming from.
