I need help with the relationship of my brother. I’m 11 years old, and he’s 10. I don’t know what to do when he verbally abuses me and occasionally physically too. I have to admit, I’ve left a few bruises on him too, but only in self defense. I will get in trouble if I hit him, because I want him to know to ALWAYS RESPECT HIS ELDERS. He never understands how I feel. I know he’s a good kid at heart, but I need him to change. I feel depressed and sad when I have to go home, because I don’t feel like arguing constantly with him. Any ideas of what I should do?
