Bullying from brothers and sisters may be harmful

In a study of about 7,000 people, those bullied by brothers or sisters were more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and self-harm than those who weren’t bullied. Tools that already exist to improve sibling relationships should also be tested for effectiveness, they add. Studies had found that bullying may build up over a person’s childhood and be tied to mental health problems, including suicidal thoughts and attempts. The children were asked if they were bullied by their siblings at age 12 years and then evaluated for depression, anxiety and self-harm at age 18.
