Im 20 and my little brother is 11. Anyways this week I spent time at my parents house and my brother and me got into an arguement. He thinks I should lose weight- I currenly am 301. He told me in a polite manner and not in front of everyone- he seemed concerned. But I took offense to it and told him to mind his own business. He insisted he was just trying to let me know I should go on a diet. This made me SO FURIOUS that I pushed him to the floor and sat on him. He screamed in pain and my parents walked in and screamed at me, asking what I was doing? I got off him and my brother had to be rushed to the hospital and currently is staying overnight because I supposedly broke some leg bones. My thing is that he shouldn't have came at me like that in the first place! My parents both are mad at me and think I should apologize to my little brother. I refuse! Who is really to blame here- me, the innocent bystander, or my brother, the blabber mouth who thinks he knows everything God damn thing?

Sorry but you have responsibility for it. You choose to react to his concern in a very hurtfull manner. Maybe your little brother could have found a better way to approach you. But come on you are 20 years old! You know you could hurt him even if you weren't overweight by sitting on him. It is NEVER Ok to use physical violence towards another being. Especially if that person is trying to discuss something with you that obviously he has thought about a LOT and is concerned for your health. Mental and Physical. Take his advise but DO NOT GO ON A DIET!!!! Find a good dietician and change your lifestyle! Going on a diet will only make you feel deprived. There are great tasting foods that are good for you. Go to DrPhil.com get some advise from him and see if your insurance will pay for a Dietician. They can help you find foods that will help. Don't forget the excersise.

Little brothers never seem to really realize what they say. They just blurt it out, and the more you tell them to shut up, the more they want to keep saying it. But he was just trying to, in a way, look out for you, and I think it's just outrageous that you sat on him. He wasn't being a "blabber mouth". He didn't tell everyone in the world; he was just telling YOU. He wasn't even making fun of you. And you broke his leg and you think that you shouldn't apologize for it? Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?
Just because you got mad, you created this whole mess. Your parents have to pay for the hospital bill, and your brother will have to walk around in crutches for weeks. Think before you act. You are not the innocent bystander.

As you said, he pulled you aside and didnt try to embarras you. He wants you to be healthy and 300 is not a healthy weight. A way to know you are over weight is if you crush bones by sitting on someone. He was just worrying about you, he loves you. You broke his bones..he was trying to help. Which is worse? I think you should apologize. After all he is only 11, and to be quite honest..i think that you are extremely immature for a 20 year old. Your 11 year old brother was more mature than you were, thats pathetic. get over yourself and dont hurt innicent bystanders. Next time listen and handle things like an adult.

u r !!!!!! Your little brother is concerned and at age 11, that is pretty impressive. You should be grateful that u have a brother that cares instead of making fun of u. Personally , u sound very ungrateful for your blessings. Further more, u got upset and that tells me that u knew u had a problem with your weight. Besides, hurting him physically was pretty childish on your part and u should apologize to him. U r supposed to be an adult, right? Then maybe u need to start acting like one.

u crushed a little kid who is 9 years younger than you and much smaller, lighter, fragile than u and u wanna blame him? good lord woman..he was concerned for u sometimes kids dont even know or mean what they say..maybe they had a talk in school about obesity or something..im sure it wasnt a personal attack on u i dont think he wud be that vicious....but for u to sit on him and now for him to have to be hospitalized is terrible so even if he was wrong to begin with, u sitting on him definately cancels that out. u cant blame an 11 year old kid like hes an adult, and u cant sit on someone half your size...u shud apologize to him , and pray that he doenst hate you after all this...grow up.

As the eldest son raised in a Cherokee family, I'll keep this as simple I can..........which of you is the oldest? Which of you is the leader? Which of you should have learned the most by this time? What was your question?
PS; Be glad you are not Cherokee or your butt would be out of the family permanently and I mean NOW!

You're not merely wrong, you are CRIMINALLY wrong.
You should consider yourself lucky that you are not in jail for breaking an 11-year-old's legs.
You should also consider getting therapy, because your reaction is outside the boundaries of what is acceptable as a legal adult.

i imagine your mothers and fathers might want to experience that you would possibly want to be to blame for searching after jonathan and conserving jonathan secure... purely because you're the older of both. (between you and jonathan, i mean) yet this isn't straightforward, you probably did not ask for this and also you probably did not do it on purpose, yet you nevertheless get punished as in case you probably did do it on purpose. perhaps you would possibly want to target explaining this on your mothers and fathers, or attempt to work out this project from their attitude.
