I hate being told I can't do something or that I will never be something. Especially if I know I can or have no control over it.
I'm not a feminist but I don't let people push me around either. My brother is sexist. I'm not just being dramatic either. On multiple occasions he tells me that I will never be as storm go or as athletic as he is.
We have a chore system that consists of trash, dishes, cleaning, and yard work. He straight up told my mom that he and my other brother shouldn't have to clean. He said I should do all the cleaning because I'm a girl and I should leave the yard work to the boys.
He told me that he'll always be stronger and I should be nice to him because he's the only one that can defend me because I can't do I myself.
Not to mention he's letting people spread rumours about me too. Because of those rumours, he doesn't want to be seen with me in public. He even told me that I wasn't family even though we are.
What happened to him? In Georgia when we were young we were best friends. We got along so well and always hung out. Even when we came her to Illinois. All the way until sixth grade when he joined football. I love that it's his dream to play and all but it changed him. They changed him. His "friends" the populars. He's not the Seth I grew up with and I miss him. He told me to tell him if anyone bullies me but how do I tell him if he's the one bullying me?
He isn't aware and when I try to tell him to stop it he says he isn't doing anything wrong. I hate it so much because like he said, I'm basically powerless if my words don't phase anyone. They normally do but with him they don't work and he's right, it's my only defence.

I also wish things were like when I was little, this girl boy stuff is finally making me sick. Like, I know we aren't the same yeah, boys are stronger, but we are equal in our own ways. why do I have to be as strong as a boy? I like who I am why can't I be a girl? Why do I always have to be compared with a boy? Can't I be compared with other girls?!?!
@MistyMew My brother is like:
"Me, me, me. I need name brands, ew I can't be seen with you. Of course I'm going to punch them, I've got football and I can't get kicked out. Blah blah blah. Oooh my reputation- oh that girl's undateable, she isn't hot! Fat people are so disgusting! Ew, she's got pimples, she has no butt, etc."
That's him.
Thank guys
