Hello there and thanks for getting in touch.
What your brother is doing to you is wrong and you should not have to put up with it. Well done in being able to write it all down and being clear about what is happening to you.
Lots of families go through difficult times but it is never right for anyone to hit you or threaten you so that you feel upset and worried. It sounds as though your parents have a lot of sympathy for your brother and keep making excuses for his behaviour. You deserve to be treated with respect and should feel safe in your own home.
You haven’t said what sort of relationship you have with your parents, but you have said that they shout at you when your brother twists things. I am just wondering what it would be like for you to explain to them how this is affecting you particularly with your exams coming up in January?
It might help you to talk things through with a ChildLine counsellor they are there to help and support you. You can talk through with them what has been happening and they can explore some options that might be open to you. You can rehearse what you would like to say to your parents and maybe even write it down. You can do that through the website using the 1-2-1 chat service or if you feel like talking, the helpline is free on 0800 1111. You could also look at the ChildLine message boards as they are a good way of finding out what other young people have done in similar situations.
Take Care,
Sam
