May 4, 2012 - submitted by Katelyn, United States of America  I
don't know where to start. I'm tired of being put down by my
brother it may not seem much but it hurts so badly. I'm scared
all the time now. I'm tired of crying. I act so happy but on the
inside I'm dying. I don't want to be here anymore I don't know
what to do.  The Oracle replies:  I happen to know you're age is
12 Katelyn and it makes me sad to think of you suffering without
the support of anyone. Your first step of bravery was sharing it
here and hopefully the second one will come after reading the
support of people that care - even though you haven't met a
single one of us. It may feel like the scariest thing in the
world right now to stand up to your brother but the thing with
bullies is they thrive on their victim's fear. The key is to
ignore him and act as if you really don't care what he says.
That may be a quick fix solution. The only reason I mention it
is because I and many of my friends have older brothers and we
were all subjected
