You didn't give how old you and your brother are but I can tell you from personal experience that my brother used to do the same thing. My brother used to tell me to go kill myself and he once chased me out of our house wearing a scream costume and carrying a butcher knife. He thought he was being funny but I was seriously scared for my life. The good news though, is that my brother was a teenager anywheres from 13-15. He could have even been younger, my memory isn't so great anymore but he's 20 now and I'm 17. He grew out of the whole "kill my sister" mode when we was about 16/17 ish. I still annoyed the hell out of him but he didn't threaten to take my life anymore. So I'm hoping that it's the same with you. Boys will be boys and I guess some brothers just hate their sisters while growing up.

HOWEVER, if you feel things have gone WAY too far, talk to a parent or someone who can do something because he could have psychological problems.. In an extreme case, tell the police. But if he's young and your younger, it might just be sibling rivalry, ESPECIALLY if he's the older brother..they just like to scare us younger sisters. Like I said though, be careful because SOMETIMES that's not always the case....

Please, NEVER EVER hesitate to talk to a parent or some sort of authority figure if you EVER feel uncomfortable. Don't forget that and goodluck.

Before I read that he threatens you, I was going to say just try to talk to him and tell him that it upsets you that he's not nice to you. Maybe you two could come up with some sort of compromise every time you fight about something?

But when I read that he threatens you, I instantly thought you need to tell your parents about what he's doing. That is out of control and SO uncalled for. Threats are serious business, and if your parents don't take action, tell a friend's parents or even call the police. You shouldn't feel like you can't live in your own house without getting threats from a sibling.
