If you're wondering why you and your younger sibling aways fought or got into trouble for quarreling. The first that pops into my head is "the parent". Parents tend to pick favorites and over time it shows that care more for that child. It also comes to no surprise that kids aren't stupid. They realize this and they use it to their advantage. Perhaps, a younger brother might get away with striking his older brother. Parents are always the main factor. In a childs eyes "Mother is God" and Dad is that "Unbeatable Odd". Parents are the officials of that whole relationship, they set the rules the the children must follow. It is always up to the parents to chop that rivalry in pieces and throw it away. I say that for just about anything, if somebody does something wrong it always comes from how their raised. Some may agree, some may not. Think about it.
