When my brother and I fight (which is often) its bad. Is it abnormal for us to call eachother every bad/swear word in the book? What about kicking him, and slapping. What about him punching me. he is 12 almost 13 and i am 14 almost 15.

haha. Trust me it is normal!!! When you're stuck with someone for a long amount of time, trouble will arise. It may damage your relationship if it gets to a certain point. Maybe you should try and figure out your problems, or try to be kinder to eachother if you don't like the behavior. Since you're older, try to be the "bigger" person. Make him look bad! lol no, but if you don't like it, change it, if you are just going to have to live with the constent fighting, then..... good luck! haha :-D

Fighting between siblings is normal. So is pushing each other around and name calling. Kicking and punching is NOT normal. That is moving toward the extreme. I would talk to your parents about your concerns, and maybe they could help you and your brother find other ways to settle disagreements besides fist-fighting and kicking. Even if you have to walk away (or even run) from the situation, at least then there is no physical harm done to either one of you.
Someday, you will be better friends with your sibling. I know... the one brother I hated the most as a kid, is now one of my best friends ever... and I think I said a lot of pretty cruel things to him as a kid, and he did to me too.

Well, there are worse things to do but really, that isn't a good way to behave. It can damage your relationship to a point where you may never be friends or even close family. Instead, you should figure out what causes the problems between you two and try to work it out between the two of you or ask for someone else to help, like your parents.
Since you asked this question, I think deep down you know it isn't right. You also know that you should change it, thus do what you know is right in your heart. Even if your brother swears at you, don't respond. Try to talk to him about this when you are not mad at each other and don't let yourself get mad at him. Good luck!

Sibling rivalry is normal to a POINT. Yes bickering and yelling and name calling is what most siblings do but if it goes beyond that to where fist fights break out then something needs to done about it. I have an older brother about 4 yrs older he used to beat the crap out of me physically and mentally and it took a toll on me later in life. Don't let this happen to you. Sit down with your brother and find better ways to deal with your problems other than yelling and fist fights. You may not now, but you'll be glad you did once you both get older.

When my brother and I were younger, we would wrestle and hit and punch roughly but playfully all the time. ALL the time. And often it would get carried away into serious injuries. Oh, many a black eye I've had.
We grew out of the wrestling, but faded into calling eachother every horrible name in the book. First it was innocent stuff, your average poo-poo heads and fatties, but of course it got dirty and profane rather quickly. Recently, we took up giving eachother the finger because somehow it was hilariously crude.
And yet we're as close as can be. :) I love my little brother. So yes, it is normal.

I'm 22 and me and my sister used to fight all the time when we were younger we never called each other to many bad names but a couple, my sister is now 24 and we have gotten a long great ever since i was about 16....just give it some time and hopefully it will get better soon. I would try to ignore my sister as much as possible when we got mad at each other so maybe try going to a different room and maybe it will cool down and he'll forget about it.

It sounds like normal sibling rivalry; unless you two fight over the smallest things possible. The swearing is, well, swearing. Do you two get in trouble for saying such words? Are your parents aware of your bickering? As far as the physical fighting, don't. Unless its just sort of play fighting; just don't slit each other's throats and you two should cool down in a couple of years. Or not. Good luck.

It is never, ever okay to get physically violent with someone you love. THe swearing is out of line too. Also, right now you are bigger then your little brother, but that will not always be the case, please find a way to solve your problems without getting physical or mean.

It's not abnormal, but you should be careful with the violence. If you're reacting during a state of rage, you can do more damage than you intend to.
Hopefully, you'll outgrow this stage and be closer.
