Answer 1

This is physical abuse my friend. If you're parents aren't listening you need to talk to a teacher or another adult that you trust. This is the worst kind of abuse (between siblings) because no one takes it seriously. Something needs to be said about this or it will continue to happen. Tell someone okay. Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Wow, 8 years difference huh? It could be that your bro is trying to get your attention. You guys have a pretty big age gap and you're both of different genders with immediately limits the things you two can talk about. Maybe you hang out with your friends more than with him which may cause him to feel neglected? Short term fix - try not be in the same room with him as much as possible. It's possible that the less he sees you the less he will be able to hit you and so eventually moves on with his life and the hitting would stop. Do you have a bad relationship with your brother? Is it possible you did something to him before to make him dislike you? If you could you should talk with him...

Answer 3

Your parents are right all brothers do fight but not to this extreme. I would try telling your brother you love him and you are tired of always fighting. If that doesnt work try keeping a log of every hit for what reason he gave and your side of it with dates and times when you feel you have enough to convince your mom that this isnt normal brother fighting sit down with the whole family brother included and have a discussion with them and see if you can come up with a solution together

Answer 4

Bad parents and horrible brother! I feel so bad for you. When I hear things like this I just feel like crying. Your brother is probably going through some real psychological pain in order to do what he is doing to you. Ne needs therapy. If you have bruises show them to your parents. If they don't do something about this call social services. Good luck kiddo.

Answer 5

sweetie there are a few things you can do. you can fight back because at this point you cant lose anything. its about him respecting you as his younger brother. and see once you and him have a big huge blow out than mom and dad will see that there is a real problem here and they have been ignoring it. or you can talk to your brother and tell him how you feel when he hits you to it hurts you mentally as well as physically. or you can talk to your parents and tell them that you wish they would do something about big brother putting his hands on you and how it makes you feel when you come to them and they do nothing about it. hang in there sweetie. you will always be the younger brother but at some point you will be able to whip big brother butt. GodBless

Answer 6

You are in abuse.
Tell your parents about this.
If they will not intercede, you have no choice but to stay away from the house until your parents arrive home.
PLAY KEEP-AWAY.
I would suggest either participating in some extracurricular activities at your school, or going to a friend's house to study until your parents get home. Any legitimate excuse will do.

Answer 7

it sounds like your brother has some issues !

I would try and talk to your parents again, if that doesnt work then talk with a counselor at school......

I would also tell your brother how it makes you feel , let him know your not his punching bag and to leave you alone

if nothing works, you could call the dept of social services and ask for the child protection unit, and talk with someone there - tell them your brother is 19 and he is abusing you and no one will help....

Answer 8

Wait until your parents are about to come in and start hitting him. Fight everytime your parents are there. Then they will not want all that fighting anymore.

PS. If you start to do this...better not be there too much when the rents are not there...your brother will kill you.

Answer 9

hurting anyone is no way to get rid of anything. if you do something that bothers him, he could tell you first. but he didn't. still i'd say that you talk to your parents again and tell them its serious. all brothers fight but certainly some of them don't enjoy it. talk to your brother also. if he stops then its ok, but if he doesn't, (this may sound rude, but...sorry to say) stop talking to him for a while. be yourself and stay away of him. let him realise why are you doing so. let him understand it really hurts you.
wishing you the best.

Answer 10

Kick your brother in the balls every time he hits you. Eventually he will stop.
