Shocking stuff to me. Did any of you have problems like this? I certainly didn't, and none of my friends did either.

Having said that, I used to work with a woman who was always having big arguments with her older brother, and she said that one time he punched her so hard in her stomach that she thought she would die (!), she was in pain for days and should have gone to hospital but never told her parents.

I am the youngest of 5 and the only boy so I got a lot of jealous aggression as I got all new stuff and thus seen as as spoilt... and I remember a few fights amongst us at times but nothing I can say that has affected me..

in todays society tho I would say that some things you can get away with as a family would be classed as bullying if it were kids in the school playground.

the much youngest of three..........one had left home by the time I was 6, and the other was so much older to be too old to bully

Oh God yes .. don't let anyone tell you girls can't fight .... :-)

About half the time my sister and I (I'm 18, she's 15) get along great and have a real laugh. The other half of the time we argue and piss each other off the whole time, and at times it does get me down, because she can be extremely difficult to live with when she's acting up. But under it I know she's alright, and she knows I'm alright, so we basically get on.

I'm fairly laid-back and I consider myself pretty easy to get on with. I have a great relationship with both my parents, we almost never argue. I think my sister gets on just fine with other people, but she quite often clashes with me and our parents. I guess it's pretty normal, but by fuck it can be annoying

Ah well, can't complain really. Siblings argue. In our case it's not bullying, although it can get quite heated.

Those stories are horrible btw, some nasty shit there.

Sibling bullying? Dunno, but my missus and her sister were always fighting each other.

I fought all the time with my older sister. I was an awsome brother to my younger sister but I hate her now.

Yeah, I was pretty shit to my youngest sister for many years. I'm five years older. It was never really violence but I mentally tortured her every day. We're friends now and I get on really well with her kid but I think she kinda blames me for ruining her childhood.

I remember my mate when we were teenagers quit his saturday job, so his older brother took it on himslef to batter the shite out of him. His bro was in the army and being in the army was in the family so maybe thats how the dealt with things? All I know is that my mate never spoke to him again and last I heard he was a plumber.

Before we met.

Missus admits to smashing a plate over her sister's head, and her sister then swung her around by her feet and smashed her head against the wall, necessitating visits to brain specialists. Which explains a lot.

a year between me and older sis. She was always trying to hurt me as a toddler. I was kept next to my mothers side of the bed as she was more vigilant. Jealousy was all it was. My younger brother of 5 years was spoilt and i was made to take him with me everywhere i went. I gave him a hard time when i caught him using any of my stuff. My westone thunder one has a few dart holes in the back of the body and neck thanks to him. 

Fast forward 35 years and he now provides me with decent motors as hes a car salesman and my sister provides me with free holidays to Jersey as thats were she now lives. I in return retire to my bolt hole and play guitar! (Thats Bolt Hole!)

Actually, they're both Welsh.

 

Margate girls would have resorted to broken Lambrini bottles.
