How can I help my little brother?

Personally I think your parents need to speak with the parents of the children who are doing the bullying. In first grade these are 6 and 7 year old kids we are talking about here. Beating them up will not help them, it'll only hurt them in the future. At this age my best idea would be to suggest their parents give them the "Paper Lesson". Or maybe even suggest to your parents that they talk to the teacher and give this lesson to the entire class.

Have the kids take a nice clean white piece of paper. Then have them crumple the paper up, step on it, squish it, whatever they want to do but without tearing the paper and only using themselves (no markers or crayons or anything like that). Then have them open the paper back up and try to flatten it and make it clean, white, and unwrinkled again. When they have done the best they can, show them that no matter how hard they try the paper will never again be perfect. The wrinkles and marks they created are permanent. That no matter how sorry they are the marks will never go away. This is the same as bullying, once they have bullied someone they can say sorry or try to make it better, but on the inside the person they bullied will always be marked just like the paper is wrinkled.

I'm sorry your brother is being bullied, and I'm sorry you feel you don't know what to do about it. I am the oldest sibling of 7 children and I understand that when someone picks on our younger brothers/sisters it is hard not to get mad and just want to beat everyone who hurt them up, but in the long run it won't fix the problem. Especially with children so young, at this age now is the time to really teach them how hurtful bullying can be.

I hope I was able to help at least a little! Good luck.

Same thing happened to me and my little brother. I just sent a letter along with my brother the next day, and told him to give it to the bullies. The letter went like this:

Dear whoever is bullying my little brother,

Unlike you, I usually do not hurt people without good reason. I am going to ask you to stop hurting my little brother before I am forced to come to school with him and beat the crap out of you. I highly suggest that you stay on friendly terms with *insert brother’s name here*, because I also have a whole list of things I can do to you if you continue.

I am very disappointed that my wonderful brother has to live with jerks like you. Now I suggest you start being nice before I blow up the school.

And I WILL take action if you continue your horribly childish behavior. Unlike some people I’ve heard about, I do not throw childish insults around like confetti.

Thanks, ~Sylvia

You can rewrite it however you like, of course. That's just what I did. And it worked for most of the kids. For the two kids who didn't listen, I just told their moms what was going on, and the moms put an end to it.

Get the name of the little fu**ers that are messing around and go to their houses and beat the living hell out a them. You're brother deserves to be happy and they don't because they're making someone so miserable. Do what I said. Them little a**holes won't lay another finger on him.
