My younger brother(17) always attacks my youngest brother(13) and it seems to be at a point where it is unhealthy. He is constantly whaling on the kid, to the point where he is screaming and crying. And it is only in one direction, the 13 yr old never hits the older one. The 17 year old will also taunt him in really cruel ways while he's doing it. For instance, the other day he quipped "Oh, almost got a concussion that time didn't you, HAHAHAHA!!" It's to the point where the youngest one literally walks by him with his hands by his face for protection EVERY time they pass each other. I asked my Dad if he thought this was normal, and he said he thought so...however, he came from an abusive household so I don't know how much weight his opinion holds...I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this is simply normal sibling behavoir or actual abuse? Oh, and if you think this is a stupid question and have something snarky to say don't bother. Just click on the "X" in the corner, thanks.
