PLEASE help me! i'm scared and pissed to!
my brother (who is 13 and about 270 pounds- i'm 16, f, and only 115pounds!!) is always threatening to beat the shit out of me! what do i do?? my therapist knows, and she says not to call the police or anything, but to try and let it blow over. when he says something to me (he calls me a lebian or a faggot-so does my mom- b/c i'm bi, also he calls me a highschool dropout b/c i failed 1 year of school!) i really just want to knock him out but he's so big!! and he's so much stronger than me!! ive been known to knock the shit out of some ppl, but they were girls and my size too! he really scares me, and he pisses me off sooo bad!!! he just makes me so mad and he's mean to me and my mother backs him up 100%!! what should i do??? i am tired of living like this!!!
Additional info, added Thursday June 22 2006, 10:11 pm: ps. how do you take down big ppl? he's really strong, and he can REALLY hurt me sometimes (i.e. bruises all over and sprained ankles/wrists- especially when he and my mom team up on me!) i'm tired of being expected to back down- i need to put the same fear in him.

I think you should make sure your therapist knows how scared you are, tell her how your mom and you brother verably abuse you and gang up on you. Do you have any friends that have parents you trust? or maybe an aunt or grandpartents you can talk to? If so, you can tell them what's going on, make sure you have proof of what your brother has done, like bruises, gashes, or scrapes, because a lot of the time, you can tell when those things are done my someone else. I feel awful about this, my heart truely does go out to you! I hope things get better! [ kallan's advice column | Ask kallan A Question ]
WingsOfAButterfly answered Friday June 23 2006, 1:33 am: family or not a threat is still a threat and is still illegal,im really sorry your going through this i have a friend going through the same thing cept its the other way around with the age,she had to threaten to call the cops to get them to back off but it only lasted for a few weeks and then it just got worst , so my best advice if it gets really bad just please call the police or tell someone at your school, they can try to help you.and to your question about taking someone big down, hit them in the bridge of the nose or with any guy, wack him in the sac.

clearlypink428 answered Thursday June 22 2006, 11:35 pm: okay- what you need to do is ignore your therapist- it is very much illegal for a sibling to hit you- just as it would be for any other random person in the world to hit you. by calling the police (best done when you have very viible bruises on you- to prove your case)- they can help you, believe it or not. things like this dont come up too often- but i know how you feel. i grew up in a highly abusive home- gettin the back end from my jerk of a father- but just because hes younger thn you ad because hes your brother doesnt mean you have to take any kind of crap from him- as well as your mother- if your mother hits you bad enough to leave bruises and scars- then she will most likely be punished too. try not to wait too long before you call the police- but definetely wait until you have bruises to prove your case. get out of that situation as soon as possible! good luck girl- and my IM s/n is on my site if you need me- dont be a stranger- im here to help ya!

Mr.Advice1120 answered Thursday June 22 2006, 11:31 pm: hello, look in my opinion this sounds really serious and you need do something where the police are involved. especially if your mom is teaming up wit your bro and beating you up. you need to tell the police becouse you are definitely being abused. sry to say but maybe you need to move in with another family member even if they live in another state.
IM REALLY SRY FOR YOU SO PLLZZ TAKE HOLD OF THE SITUATION!!!!
