Dear Auntyji, I have an older brother who thinks he’s a real superstar. He plays cricket for our school’s first team and because of that, but whole family adores him. If only they knew he’s actually a real fool. He bullies me when no one’s watching, teases me all the time and is actually a really mean person. And then my mom tells me to try and “be more like him”. How can I expose him for the badmash he really is?

Good Guy, Campsie

Dear Good Guy, Your brother does sound a bit like a fool. But then again, so do you. I’m not sure how much older he is, but you sound like a whining little boy. What kind of man runs to a newspaper Agony Aunt instead of fighting his own battles? No, Good Guy – I’m just kidding! Being bullied is no laughing matter, but you need to learn how to stand up for yourself, without “having to expose your brother”. Maybe you could use humour – making funny comments when he teases you, might turn the tables on him and make others laugh at him. When he sees that it doesn’t feel very good, he might reconsider doing it to you.

It’s just a family dynamic that happens when you’re the younger sibling – the older ones tend to pick on you and if you can’t deal with it, you’ll be the odd one out. Find a way to manage your brother’s bullying, which will make him take notice and even respect you. For instance, if you like cricket too, take an interest and start playing backyard cricket with him. Older kids sometimes tease you to get attention, so spending time and getting to know him might stop the bullying and start a good healthy relationship. And if all else fails, take secret cricket lessons so that you can kick his butt in the one thing he’s good at. Making him cry in front of all his friends might not stop the bullying, but it sure will

make you feel better.

Dear Auntyji

I’m having trouble with my younger daughter. She’s just turned 13 and everything I do is “so old” and “like, so embarrassing!” I know that I thought so as well when I was her age, but surely times have changed and kids understand their parents better these days with all the media hype and movies about parents and kids. Surely kids of today are aware more than ever that their parents have experience and that we really care about them. I’m not sure how I can get through to her that when I say “No” there’s usually a reason – I’m not out to get her all the time. Do you have any tips on what I can do to reach through to her and bring her around to seeing things my way?

Locked Out, Edensor Park

Dear Locked Out,

I have a great tip for you: Back. Off. Kids of that age, especially girls, need time to form their own views on the world. You’re right – these days with the media and the movies, kids get to know more about the world they live in than ever before. It can get quite confusing trying to interpret all the signals mation, when you really don’t have all the information yet. Trying to work out what to wear to the movies is hard enough, now they’re also bombarded with all the adult themes we didn’t have to deal with until we were in Uni. How times have changed!

They’re trying to persuade you that they’re old enough to handle themselves in this crazy world so that you will loosen the reins, yet they’re still so confused about it all. And through all this, you’re in there holding on even more tightly and trying to force them to see your point of view. You’re the adult – you should try to see theirs. It’s much easier for you to bend down low enough to see their point of view, than it is for them to reach up to yours.

If you’ve done your job well enough through the first 13 years, they know you’ll always be there through the next 13 and more. You’re the backup when they want to sit down and talk. You’re the shoulder to cry on. And you should make sure that you have a shoulder as well, when you need it. Because letting go is so much harder than finding a way to hang on. Soon, you’ll realise that you’re not locked out anymore.
