Friend is being Physically/Emotionally Abused.

[Kishan]

I've had this friend for about 6 years after moving here, and recently he's seemed shaky. Before, he was a cool guy. Now, he seems messed up. I found out through another person that his brother hits him and screams some really mean things at him. Parents are retarded, they are basically helpless, as the brother would just beat the kid up more if I told his parents. My friend is 18 and his asshole brother is 21. Is there anyone I can contact/reach out to? I feel that if I do act on something, this could ruin the kid's entire life. The two brothers live in the same house, go to the same school. My friend has actually told me that he doesn't want to hurt his brother because he still loves him.

ATOT please help my friend-he's a good kid.

Thanks,
Kishan

Edit: sorry about that.

Your friend probably has low self esteem as it is, and his brother sounds like he has mental issues. I'd be more worried about the older brother because he's going to have problems everywhere if he gets mad that easily.

He's an adult. Do what Pauly Shore did and JOIN THE ARMY NOW.

Seriously, tell him to grow the !~@# up and stop being such a pussy.

By the way, what the hell do you expect us to do, out of interest?

Haha..

Seriously though...he has a couple options.

1) Take some hand-to-hand combat classes. Or self-defense classes.
2) CALL THE COPS
3) HANG HIMSELF

I like #1.

 

[OrByte]

well, my advice is

you are his friend, he has other friends right?

time for all of you guys to go stick up for your friend.

give his brother a beating.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

I don't understand. Does he beat him to a pulp? Is there always blood involved? Why does your friend even care what his brother says?

 

[bandana163]

Q: "My friend has actually told me that he doesn't want to hurt his brother because he still loves him."

I'd say they both have issues.

 

[AbAbber2k]

Tell him to fight back. One swift kick to the testicles would probably do the trick.

He needs to stand up for himself. There's not much you can do about it. It's just too bad his parents aren't trying to help him out. Advise him to stay out of the house as much as possible and stay away from his brother. It sounds to me like your friend's brother has some issues and compensates for it by making others feel bad. It's sad!

Weird that this is posted by the same person who started this thread about the kinds of posts he just made.

Yeah theres quite a bit of blood involved and some bruises. The kid feels afraid to go to his own house.

21 and 18 going to the same school?

I hate to go with the crowd on this one, but I think your friend needs to get some balls.
A couple taps on brother's skull with an nice, evenly weighted Miken Freak is likely to smooth out the one-sidedness of that relationship.

You are quite the dim bulb.

 

[AMDZen]

They're both adults, 3 years isn't a big difference once your full grown. Your friend is probably a pvssy. So he needs to either a) take some Taikwando and learn to defend himself and give his older brother the pounding he deserves, or b) move out and get away from the situation.

 

[sundev]

Tell him to start sticking up for himself. If he is way smaller than the other guy, then I recommend that you get a few guys together and kick the older brother's ass - or at least scare him sh!tless.

 

[StageLeft]

Obviously call the cops next time it happens.

Why the fights? Do they not get along? Is his brother a sociopath? Any particular reason why it gets bloody?
Has his brother been to jail?
And that crap about him not wanting to hurt his brother because "he still loves him" doesn't quite stand up on it's own. There is another reason. Do you know what it is?

College.

 

[Miramonti]

He needs to be a man about it, ie find a big friend to scare the sh!t out of his brother. The beatings from the insecure older prick have got to end.

I saw it happen once and I had to break it up. His brother just starts yelling. Then his brother starts hitting him. The kid feels bad about hurting his own family. He told me they were close when they were younger, and he feels bad. I don't get it.

I assume this has been going on for a long time? If it has, you seriously should help him get some counciling of some sort. Sure, he needs to stand up to his brother but if this has been going on since he was 10, he is going to have some serious issues. Just try talking to him for a start.
