Hi: I'm a 31-year-old single woman. When I was 14, my little brother was 8. He got into an altercation with a girl his age which she instigated. Her 17-year-old brother attacked my little brother even though he knew she initiated the situation. Why? I feel my little brother was unfairly treated. At the time, he confided in me that the girl had been bullying him. Of course, the situation has now long past. My baby bro didn't suffer any physical injuries from the then 17-year-old boy. However, I still feel hurt. I don't want to have kids because I don't want my potential son going through what my little brother went through. I don't want my potential daughter exploiting any unfair advantages provided to her by society just because she's a girl. So it's best for me not to have kids. Best, Charlotte

Yeah, I'm just afraid my little boy will get beat up for defending himself against some girl. That's why I don't want to have any kids. I also, don't want to be in any relationship because my potential boyfriend/husband might want kids. I will always be single and child-free, which is what I want. I still feel sorry for the boys who have to endure the bullying my little brother went through.
Hmmm... I am the same age as you, single, and I feel the same way about bringing kids into this sick, sad world, except for different reasons. But I wonder, do you perhaps want kids, but feel as though you can't or won't have them, and are using what your brother went through as some sort of psychological justification because you believe you will never have the opportunity to have children?
I don't feel any desire to reproduce due to the trauma my younger brother experienced. At 14 I was very sensitive. What my little brother suffered, it hurt a big part of my heart. I always felt very protective of my little brother because he was so innocent and always minding his own business, never gave trouble to anyone.
Wow, it has obviously had a long-lasting impact on you then. I totally respect your decision, though. But how does that affect you wanting to be single? I mean, not every man wants children, either. It just seems like you're using what your brother went through as an excuse to be single and never have kids, so that is why I asked.
I think there is something more you're not telling us. There are plenty of men who don't want children. I mean, I love kids. I am just not sure I want to bring any of my own into this world... for various reasons.
Maybe it made your brother tougher. He was obviously a pussy if a girl was bullying him, and the last thing this world needs is more pussy men.
She said he was bullied by the girl's brother. Yeah, the last thing the world needs is pussy men, but the same can be said for macho assholes, which, unfortunately, too many "men" are.
I agree with this. Also, if it still bothers you that much (probably more than your brother, as you're the one posting about it, and not him...... although from experience with this type of thread, you're probably about to reveal that it's kids with HIM that you're afraid to have), go find the guy on facebook, kick him in the balls, and move on with your life.
I disagree. The girl is at fault here, not my brother. She should have been held accountable. At the age of 8, a girl is not weaker than a boy nor is she anymore innocent than him.
In the age range previously discussed, if a girl hits a boy, then the following should happen: 1. She should face the same social condemnation he would face for hitting her OR 2. He should be allowed hit her back without being bullied for "hitting a girl" In either case, the boy should get the same sympathy she would get if he hit her.
