I was at a party with the family today, went with my friends, walked around, played basketball, some fireworks, and watched TV, the usual stuff. All the little kids went about their business playing hide and seek, acting like idiots, etc. I had a good time, slowly one family by one leaves until we leave too. We get home, I go up to my room, start playing a quick game or two of UT 2K3 before I sleep. I then go outside my room to use the restroom, and my mom asks me to come downstairs after I go. So I do, and my brother was sad talking to my dad about how a kid his age is being mean to him. Not mean as in beating him up, but doing things over and over to him to the point where he can't ignore them anymore. He calls him a nerd, geek, etc. plenty of times. The thing that got him though, was that when they were playing hide and seek and other games, they told him to count to a certain number, and he said "Why not 20?" or something less than what they said.
Then, the kid would say that he's scared of the dark and crap, which I noticed my brother ask "Who turned off the lights?" when someone turned them off in the basement, obviously not because he's scared of the dark though. Big Part: The kid then took him infront of a statue of a god (We're hindu btw, incase it matters) and told my brother to say that he's not scared of the dark or some stuff. My brother believes in god and the belief has mentally helped him in terms of "support," if you'd like to put it that way. That was the killer. That kid's older brother and I are friends, so I may talk to him if it gets out of hand.
Also, with my dad, my brother, my mother, and I, we decided tomorrow my brother would call him up and tell him on the phone that he doesn't like the way he is treated and would like him to stop. Do you guys have any tips what to do or some way my brother should talk on the phone?
I'd appreciate serious responses only, I really want to help my brother. If you say he should just toughen up, I agree, but that won't happen overnight, if you ask why he doesn't just ignore it, its kind of gotten out of hand taking him infront of a statue of god. If this phone call doesn't work, I'm going to talk to my friend (his brother) and possibly that kid too. Our families have good relations too so its not like we hate each other.
Sorry, not sparknotes or cliffnotes, this is a serious matter for my brother and us.
