How do I get my cousin to stop this

You see my cousin was over at my house a few days ago. After he finished calling me worthless and insulting me like usual he knocked me down. Then he was like stomp,stomp,stomp on my arm so now there is a bruise there. I was wondering how to stop him from doing things like this. He has done worse. My entire family knows about it and do nothing. I get yelled at for reacting. I'm told to just ignore it and it will go away. My older brother does things like this to. I'm not very close with any of my family. I think of myself as kind of the black sheep. They seem to always hurt me. I can't fathom what in the world I did to them. It has been going on as long as I can remember. What can I do to stop them? What i'm doing now is trying to be the better person. As in not bringing myself down to there level. Its not working though.

 

find someone to kick his fucking ass for picking on a girl...

 

My cousin is a big guy. Strongest guy in my school. Holds all the weightlifting records and probably one of the most popular people. No one would believe me. Or if they did they wouldn't do anything.

 

then find a equalizer and do it yourself.

its been my experience that the only way to stop a bully is to defend yourself.

take a baseball bat to his ass..

 

I'd like to that as a last resort only. I like to think i'm better than him by now reacting violently. If that is what it has to come down to then I guess I would have no choice though.

 

im sure you are considerably better than him,after all you dont bully people half your size.. look at it this way,,your defending yourself against someone twice your size,theres no shame in that,nor is it in anyway lowering yourself to his level..

its not worth waiting till he hurts you seriously in my opinion.

 

That is a good point. I'll try to defend myself when I have to and not be around him or my brother whenever possible. They never liked me that much anyway. Think i'm beyond weird.

 

i dunno,, thats the only advice i can give. as i stated,its the only way ive seen that stops a bully..

hope things get better for ya...

 

Thank you. It was very helpful.

 

ohh,, the baseball bat thing,,just dont hit him in the head..

knees and elbows are generally good enough...

 

They tell you to ignore it and it will go away????!!!! How the hell are you supposed to ignore someone stomping on your arm? Thank god that didn't break your arm!

I'm not someone who believes in violence either, but I'm with hippiehillbilly. There's no shame in self defense.

 

I know my mother. She just dosen't care. I have tried to defend myself. Usually just get hurt worse.

 

I'd call the cops and press assault charges,

 

Yeah I would but my family would hate me and I would be even more alienated from them than I already am...

 

F your family. They are not there for you when you need them. They obviously don't care enough to help you so don't waste time considering their feelings. Call the cops next time or put a knife in his neck.

Too harsh folks?

 

nope it aint too harsh ,, enough is enough, if your family aint gona stand up for you and put a foot down then you gotta sister, .. its just the way it is,, and believe you me,, you will feel much better for having done it on your own without others help... will give you a sense of security knowing you can stand up when needed and its experience... iffin i was closer n a bit younger i would come help ya through it,,,i majored in bully bashing in school

 

You would probably be better off with the child protective agency.

 

youve obviously never delt with DFCS... sure if the idea of ripping her family apart and going into foster care is apealing to her,,sounds like a great idea..

 

family? you call that a family? maybe for everyone else but her. I stand by my statement. so what if the family is ripped apart. look what they're doing to her.

 

To me it sounds like your whole family is a bunch of meanie poo poo heads that should all get their asses whooped for letting anyone hurt you like that and denying it. Seriously.
