i think that if he acts likes he did do it, and doesn't cover it up the fact that he did those things to you, then why not take it to court? He can't lie then on oath [although basing on the information, he probably will since he sounds like a complete asshole], and those people that laugh when he makes fun of you are all by-standers/witnesses. What the heck does he have against you? oO You're parents are just trying to believe he's a good kid. My father does the same with my older brother, since he's a jerk too. They just [probably] don't want to believe that he's a bad son; but they have to. C:
i don't think calling the police is the best option in this situation, since when you talked to him bad things ended up happening. >__> He'd probably do some worse things.

Well you should probably get out of there as soon as possible . If I can help let me know cause I am not exactly weak I'm pretty strong .

Well, I guess I am lucky I don't have a brother. But I think your brother needs some help! He seriously did that to you pillow, an imature college guy would do that to his roommates pillow for god saces he needs some help.

xD Omfg. I can't believe some people's replies to this. They need to be hung from the ceiling and battered repeatedly. Like a pinata. 8]

Basically, your brother is just showing off to try and be more popular and to cover his own issues. How to tackle it? I dunno. . . Tell someone. Dx And keep telling until they listen to you. OR. I'll come there and whoop his arse. 8] Does he hit girls?

((I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I got upset with how you were being treated and said some words that were probably better left unsaid, though I do think they were justified. So I was a bit nervous about coming back and seeing how it was replied to)

Ew. Military school isn't a great option.

I know it would be difficult to report it. It would make anyone in a similar position nervous. If you're taken away, you don't know where you'll end up. but no one deserves to be treated like you are. I don't know how to help, but if you need someone to talk to I'm here.

wtf!?

If I was in that situation I would NOT care if he was my brother I would go straight to the police...perhaps that's because I am a strong indivitual, I don't know...I would also definitely fight back. You say that he likes to play below the belt...you can do the same if you're in a situation where you feel threatened.

On top of this you can also go to the principal of your school and let them know your situation, I've had things where I'll go to the principal and they will investigate no matter how STUPID the situation may be.

If you really want to get your brother in trouble you could definitely always plan a camera somewhere and go from there, if you have evidence of the things that he's doing to you then...essentially you're all set, you show that to someone BAM he is in trouble for pretty much life, that's going to follow him where ever he goes...college, future jobs.

If this is really as serious as you're making it out to be then something can be done VERY easily, you just have to take the initiative to get it fixed. Don't be afraid...I can understand how you may be a little bit afraid, especially after all of this crap has been happening to you. But show your brother that you're strong and that he doesn't scare you. A lot of the time bullies like that will only pick on your because they like seeing you cower in fear. I would say stand up for yourself but clearly that didn't work...but like I said about the camera if you do try and stand up for yourself and he goes off on you record it.

How old are you and how old is he? I am just curious of the age difference...oh and do you work out at all...you said something like he's got a great left hook....there are places that offer classes for physical defense. If someone attacks you, you don't really have to be strong, you just need to know where to attack. :3nod:

I really hope you do something about it, it's a scary thing and I bet if someone saw this post...like a friend or something they would do something about it....you really should to.

Woah now. Since when are Rednecks at the top of the "list"?

Bah with the stereotypes!

Anyway.
The best thing to do would probably avoid him. Ask him if he's gay, since he pays so much attention to you and your "below the belt" spot. I'm sure he's got a soft spot...somewhere. You just have to find it. And I'm sure it won't be easy.

And you aren't alone with wanting to keep your Virginity until you get married.
My boyfriend wants to do the same thing.
Try not to worry about it, and ask some people about jokes you could crack on him.

And your "social status" shouldn't matter.
As long as you have good friends, you'll be fine.
Having MORE friends doesn't really help any.
Sometimes theres too many to control, they'll start talking behind your back and acting like everything is okay.

I hoped I helped, though I feel like I didn't.
And I hope everything works out for you.
Happy Holidays.

Sweet - Too many to control? xD You need to control your friends? I guess that's where I go wrong. >< Bah at shit-talkers.

  Wow, my sister and I fight, but never to that extent!
  
  Does any of this ever happen at school? If it does, you can talk to school administrators, and hopefully they will do something. It differs. I went to a school where they let everything slide, and on the other side of things, I went to a school where kids would get referrals for merely play fighting.
  
  @kegokec - Guitar has a right to express his opinions. He isn't talking about you, he's talking about the social heirarchy (sp?)in the general population of his school. If you can't understand that, then I don't know what else to say.
  Also, you didn't even ask him politely to change it. You demanded it. Treat others how you want to be treated? You're being a bitch to him. I will treat you accordingly.
  
  
  

I mean like talking with them.
And making sure they're actually your friend...

  I know what you mean, Sweet. I just had a huge falling out with one of my 'friends.' we had been really close friends for 8+months, and before that we were co-workers.
  
  A whole bunch of drama went down, and a lot of shit was talked, and I found out she wasn't really my friend.
  
  She even said to me "If we stopped being friend right now it wouldn't bother me, because I don't get attached to people."
  
  I think there is something wrong with her.
  
  
  

Bahhh~
People wouldn't admit they're backstabbing you anyway. xD But everyone talks behind people's backs. It's stupid.

  SexualPlacebo has a point...but It is still possible to have friendships without the intense high school drama, and shit talking.
  
  Also, there's a difference between shit talking someone, and venting to someone about something that is truly bothering you.
  
  
  

Gosh , do I feel sorry for you. Me and my own brother fight but never it came close of thumbtacks in the eye. That is really terrible. Me and my brother struggle to even look at each other without biting eache other's head off. I always wrestle around with my brother. He ends of breaking something thought. I think you should fight back the best you can and really try to avoid him. But I don't give that good of adivce. But I will tell you I know how it is in fighting with sibling's. Really. The rule 'Boy's don't hit girl's' is bull shit to him. So...yeah... our parent's say if we don't straighten up then they will make us share a bedroom! Now that is scary.
