My brother, despite being younger than me, bullies me on a daily basis and laughs when I am in physical pain or hurting emotionally. When I try to express myself calmly to him, he often yells over me, shoves me, even threatens me, often with cussing to follow. He got into the same school as me, and spreads rumours about me to all his classmates, untrue ones. As a person with already troubled past and a low self-worth, this reality I'm living in is a nightmare. But our parents, despite what he does, often turn a blind eye, sometimes even blame me for not being adult enough. But after eight years of this constantly going on, I feel like I've begun to lose my mind. He torments me every day, and I try my best to be nice. It's as if he's got everyone in a hivemind, and I'm the main target. He's often selfish, steals my things, and when I confront him about it, he claims to have no memory of the horrible things he's done. I fear that one day I won't be able to take it anymore.
