got beaten up by my brother
though i did provoke him verbally by accusing him of having stolen something off me (i did and do believe it to be true).
He beat me pretty hard, my ribs, neck are hurting me real bad. It is quite painful, especially when I move. I also got hit above my pubic area. Not that he targeted there, but it was due to my position. Anyhow, how to alleviate the pain, see that nothing is damaged? My mum did not interfere and let him coz she thought i was out of my mind making those accusations.
if i see the gp, shall I be honest with them? Thanks. -
Re: got beaten up by my brother
Are you male or female?
Edit: See below for full explanation - it does make a difference, but I don't mean to belittle boys getting beaten up. OP, only you know if it was abuse or a row between siblings - if he is a lot stronger than you then you should tell someone, but if it's just him being your brother you don't want to get him into unnecessary trouble. I don't see the harm in telling your GP, so long as you tell it like it really was (an undeserved criminal record could ruin his life, but equally, if it was abuse you shouldn't have to put up with it). Hope you feel better soon

Re: got beaten up by my brotherWow you sound like a great family person.....(Original post by biffyclyro27)
If it was me and I didn't like my brother, I'd probably get him done for assault... Also, no offence but your mum sounds like a bitch. -
Re: got beaten up by my brotherDaaaaaamn.(Original post by Anonymous)
i don't want to disclose more about our age etc, but my whole body is aching me. Maybe just bruises? I do remember he also punched me with his foot with full force. I feel so angry, but then I don't wnt to call the police and break up our family. -

That's horrible. I can't believe that... I want to give you a hug right now! I mean, one punch out of anger is more understandable but to actually beat you up. That's so bad. I couldn't forgive that.
No, no it isn't.
From what it sounds like, this brother is old enough to be regarded as somewhat mature. No mature human being has the right to hit anyone, apart from for self-defence.
Hitting his sister out of anger just not only shows weakness but also shows that he does not have control over the situation. One way or another this should be sorted before he does something like this again.
I'd recommend either taking him to anger management if he's the kind of guy to accept it, or just go to the GP and have them ring up the authorities because this kind of behaviour should never ever be tolerated. Yes, you provoked him, but you did not physically touch him. -
Re: got beaten up by my brotherSiblings fight when they're kids, it's normal, back in the day we all did it everyday, I was even knocked on conscious by my brother once but then we forgot about it after a few hours and moved on until our next fight, it's a part of growing up. You and your brother are going to look back on it and laugh in the future. Calling the police would be the stupidest thing you could do. I swear families are so split up nowdays. Before no one ever used to even think about calling the police on a family member NO MATTER WHAT. You would never even think about it. But now it's perfectly normal. Society is breaking up big time. I'm all for moving on with time, but some traditional values such as marriage and family are things which are positive and we should take those good things from the past.(Original post by Anonymous)

Wow it's really disturbing that you even considered calling the police on your brother. You're a sick person.Last edited by Theoneoranro; 01-06-2012 at 13:17. -

Re: got beaten up by my brotherI'm going to say leave it, and before anyone jumps on me it's because he is your brother, if this is the first time this has happened don't exasperate the whole situation by going to the Police, and go to your local gp to check you've not got any serious internal injuries. Obviously, he's in the wrong for beating you up over verbal accusations, it sounds like he has an anger problem to. I hope your fine and just learn to forgive him when your ready.(Original post by Anonymous)
