Younger Brothers/Sister Growing Up

Has anyone experienced this recently? My brother is 16 in February, its great that hes maturing and doesnt actually irritate me much anymore, and he isnt as naive and stupid as he used to be, becoming more of a mate in a way..

Anyway, one annoying thing to come of this, is that hes almost as tall as me, and about a stone heavier, so when we fight(only messing about) basically hes just too big and too heavy for me to beat him anymore! I say this with a massive 2 inch bruise on my shoulder where he walloped me earlier, not nice, the days of smashing his face in and him running off crying to mum have gone, and now its my turn Really sucks!

Whats your experiences with younger brothers and sisters growing older? Whats changed, for better or worse?

My sister has changed ,but to the worst,when she was young I could control her and make her obey my orders ,she used to cry when I get mad at her and not talk to her,and begs me to forgive her but now she is rebeloius(sp?),she fights everybody she is a typical teenager,she doesn't respect me not tobits,keep taking and using my stuff without asking and gets her ouwn way with mom while I get all the blame although she is the one who is mistaken I even get the blame for everything wrong she does though I'm nice to her and i help her alot with most of her school projects or when she is under school pressure and needs help and what do I get for that some disrespect and not even a thank you plus she is strong during a fight I'm stronger but she also is strong

My sister went through a stage like that and is just coming out of it. She is arguing with Mum dwnstairs now for some reason.
Whenever I make any food I always make a point of asking if anyone else wants something, she has taken to screaming at me that she doesn't. Just another one of those stupid phases.
She is a lot better then she used to be though. It seems to have dissapeared as she has got older and matured a little bit. I just hope it totally goes soon.

My little brother's 8 so I've got all of this ahead of me. But I've seen my older brother (21) grow older and somewhat more mature. But sometimes, he can act like such an annoying idiot.

i have a older brother as well, and that is a different story. when i was younger i saw him as somone that could do everything and was all cool and things. but now he is just boring. but in a good way. and for some reason we don't have as much/good contact as we had when we were younger.

You need to keep them in line! A good session of ripping/verbal abuse always goes down a treat, and itll probably lead to a fight, where you can do some serious damage, as long as youre prepared to get equally as hurt(just have to not show it!)
