im a freshman at my highschool and my brother is a senior.

i really like my friend who is a soptmore. but my brother hates him because my brother stared him down for making a weird noise outside his classroom and the guy i like stared him down back. then hes noticed him around school acting what he finds to be “cocky” and he says “he thinks hes hard” and he also said”if you end up dating him ill kick his ***. his a classic douch” and i dont know what to do. my brother is a big, scary guy and i dont want him and the guy i like to get in a fight. what my brother finds “cocky” i find outgoing and funny. i love my brother, whos just looking out for my welfare. but who is he to tell me i cant date this guy? ughhh

Some brothers can be way over protective of their little sisters. This is not an expression of love, it is an expression of ego, mistaken for love. You have to talk to your older brother and tell him you really REALLY admire and appreciate his protective behavior, and that you really like the idea that you can come to him and he will protect you, because sometimes you may need that… BUT … you are getting older and just like he made mistakes to grow, so must you make some mistakes too. Let him know that you hear his advise… tell him how you feel about this guy… (your brother will just shake his head in disbelief)… then you have to ask your brother to let you make your own mistakes so that you can mature like he has.

Now, you don’t have to believe a word you say to your brother (although it helps). Like I said, your brother is coming from a place of ego. If you do not appease that ego, you will not get very far.

Your crush and your boyfriend sound a lot alike to me. They both want to be the Alpha Male. Tell your brother to find someone else to mess with and tell your parents your brother is interfering with your social life.

Yeah I only had two good years in HS because of older brother/sister syndrome… be glad you will have three years without him.
