My brother attacks me, everyday, multiple times a day.
Question Posted Sunday February 12 2012, 12:07 pm
When I was younger my father would chase me into my room and beat me over the littlest things (ie saying I don't like broccoli), but after he got arrested he stopped, mostly. But now my older brother is taking after him. He is a six-foot-four three hundred pound football player, and has tried to break my neck before, and today punched me in the ribs and now I can't breathe right or move my left arm. When I told my parents they told me to grow up and stop being so dramatic. What can I do? (16-year-old girl)

If you are in school and reading this go to the health room or principals office and ask for medical help and the police, if you are at home call 911 or go to a friends house and call 911 if you feel safer their but call 911 for help.
Your brother has no right to assault you in this manner. By this I mean that siblings occasionally fight. They occasionally will hit each other. But if the fighting and hitting escalates to the point where one or both are physically harmed to the point of needing medical attention. This is no longer normal sibling rivalry.
The why of your brothers reason for beating you is not relevant. He has no right to assault you, no one has such a right not your brother or your parents. Your only action is to call the police. The police are there to protect you from actions of this type. They will remove your brother from your home to keep you safe if that is what they deem is required. Then the matter will be turned over to a Judge.
As i said your brothers reasons are not valid. You have done nothing to deserve to be beaten by him or anyone else. To be beaten by him to the point of needing medical attention is a criminal act. Call 911 and ask for help. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

A guy hitting a girl even if it's a family member is never ok; I know it's hard to believe since you've been brought up like that but it's not ok. Even though your brother is 6tt tall and 300 pounds he is still a little boy and hasn't matured enough to realize what he is doing is pathetic and needs to get his ass kicked.
Zane is right you need to report this to a police officer or school counselor that's what they are there for. A girl 16 or 30 years old should never have to deal with being abused by a child in a mans body. [ masterclinic's advice column | Ask masterclinic A Question ]

A school counselor, An adult you trust, Even the police.
This is a child abuse, It's wrong. You aren't being dramatic when someone hits someone it's abuse.
Take pictures of any bruises, Record it with your cell phone and bring any other evidence you may have to the police station. There is no need to be scared as you did nothing wrong but not reporting this could only make matters much much worse so PLEASE make sure you get help.
You having trouble breathing could be a broken rib, He could of even punched you so hard you could have internal bleeding. I'm not trying to scare you sweetie but you need to realize how serious this is. If you feel pain and are unable to breathe then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call 911! You can talk to someone at the hospital and tell them what happen. You are 16 years old, You have the right to patient privacy as there is a law called HIPAA basically it's a law about patient privacy act. You can talk to a doctor alone and tell them what you've told us above and they can help you and they can talk to the police for you if you feel more comfortable.
This is for your well being and 911 is open 24.7 so if you feel you need to go to the hospital please call them!
