Answer #1

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?

Answer #3

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.
