And for instance yesterday at school a guy was like was like "damn looking' good" and one of my brothers flipped out!!! Just cause hes a year older. He like threw him up against the locker. I almost killed him!! I really need help. I have 5 older brothers and I am the only girl so I dont have an older sister to talk to and my dad is protecitve of me to and if I tell my mom she tells me shell talk to them. And it just doesnt work with them!!! And ik that they are my family, and there being nice by doing this but dont they understand when to stop!? Why cant they help me when I need them not when they want. So if there are any brothers that could tell me what to do or anyoneee who has advice please help me! Sorry for my novelll
o mama, you are so much like me!!! I have five older brothers too. I know exactly what you mean. my brothers were pretty good but they have to trust you and you need to prove to them how smart you are. don't wait for the next time. this may sound tacky, but call a family meeting:) tell them that you appreciate them being there for you and you know that you could come to them for anything, but they are not only embarassing you, but they look like they need anger management or they need to react differently. they need to be known for no funny buisness by a sense of respect not physical force. One just can't walk around demanding resect from everybody wether its you or themselves the are fighting for. my brothers learned that unless my life was in danger, they let me make my own decisions. they even sat back and let me make some mistakes. I feel I am pretty smart when it came to that kind of stuff but still. that is their instint. they need to learn to control it though. theres nothing wrong with letting someone know who is in control. its not up to them.tell tell them to trust you. uh... gotta love those brothers huh?
I have the same problem my brother wants to controll my life and too protective I know he does it for my good but I gotta havee my own space I don't wanna stuck as a nurd knowing nothing of life because my bro didn't let me do it because he was scared I'd do something stupid and I can't go out with my friends if he's here because he won't let me even if my mom says yes oh im so sad and last night he said to me yelling"AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY" and if somebody says this to you you feel bad very bad you feel like you are a toy and my bro plays with me hits me yells me everything and if I talk to my parents they will say he's right he gotta protect you {{{HELP HERE PLEASE}}}

TELL YOUR BROTHERS YOU NEED SOME SPACE. TELL THEM YOU AREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING STUPID, YOU JUST WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT TYPE OF GUY YOU ARE INTRESTED IN SO YOU HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THINGS LATER IN LIFE.
That sucks! I am sorry sweetie! have about an hour conversation with them then tell us how it goes
