Re: my borther antaganizes me.
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out to us here at National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you have been going through a pretty frustrating time lately with your brother and your parents. We are sorry to hear about what has been going on and we are here to help you out as much as we can.
So it sounds like your brother is getting away with treating you poorly, and that is understandably upsetting you. It sounds like your parents have not been very supportive regarding changing your brother’s behavior. One service that we provide here at National Runaway Safeline is conference calling with youth and their guardian. This means that if you were to call into our hotline at 1800runaway, we could call out to a guardian and facilitate a conversation between the two of you; making sure that you are heard in everything that you want to communicate. It can be tough and intimidating talking to your guardians/parents, and we understand that. That is why we offer this service, mediating a productive conversation for youth to explain their stance and feelings.
Is there anyone that you feel like you can trust that you talk to about all of this? It sounds extremely frustrating, and we want to make sure you’ve got support. Our hotline is 24/7 at 1800runaway. If you want to talk more about what's going on, explore more options, or anything else we are here.
Please remember you can reach us directly by calling our 24 hour hotline, 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) or through our Live Chat which is open every day from 4:30p to 11:30p CST and can be accessed here:

my borther antaganizes me.
my brother is 11. I am 14. he always calls me names and cusses me out. big time. he doesn't put his seatbelt on in the car. he tries to break my stuff. he sits there and tries to aggravate me to the point I get into a fight with him. I have anger management problems. ill admit it. but I cant help it. I cant control it. he sits there and gets babied by my parents. he can sit there and call me all the names in the book, call me fat, gay, ugly, anything. my parents do absolutely nothing. but as soon as I act like I am going to touch him, I get grounded/reprimanded. its so stupid. can you tell me what to do please?
