 hi huni i have a brother 3 yrs older than myself an have had to deal with similar experiences i think the reason why your mother was more upset with you for swearing at her is that she doesnt expect it from her daughter as mother and daughter relationships are important and she was probably just upset that you had said that to her as for your brother belive me he will grow up and stop being the way he is my brother is now 18 and hes changed hes actually really nice to me now hes grown up youve just got to try your best to ignore it for the time being hope this helps you xxxx

 There is a differnts between swearing and swearing at someone. Your mother thought you called her a f bitch, whereas if she heard you properly and heard you say f sake she would have probably only shouted at you. This is why your brother probably only gets shouted at because he has never sworn directly at your mother. Don't copy your brother though, he is not setting you a good example

 First off, I hope your feeling better!!! I know what your dealing with (cuz coincidently, i am an older brother of a girl of age 14 {not you, of course. my sister doesnt know this site and i am nicer to her now}). In the past I would always give my sister a hard time. Why? cuz some guys feel power-hungry, and picking on the younger ones makes them feel like they have a high authoriity. So, for that part, try not to do things for him if he asks them of you unless if you feel he has been nice to you. As for the getting away part, it's always unfair. But, it's always the second wrong that gets caught. So try not to retaliate to your brother's wrongs. and i am not saying your doing n e thing wrong, but its best to ignore him when you can, cuz i did retaliate to my sister and i got grounded for a month while she got nothin for punishment. Life can be unfair, but just hang in there and see if things get better by ignoring him. If this keeps up though, you should really talk to someone professionally about this, like a school counselor or someone like that. Or it could even be a teacher you trust.
