Sibling Bullying: The Overlooked Form of Family Abuse
Sibling bullying is often dismissed as harmless rivalry—but the research says otherwise.
✔️ 31% of children are involved in sibling bullying.
✔️ 40% experience it weekly.
✔️ Many victims show signs of self-harm and psychological distress by age 17.
This isn’t just “kids being kids.” It’s a serious, often invisible form of abuse that happens inside homes, unnoticed and unaddressed.
Speaking Up About Sibling Abuse
At The Echo Movement, we are raising awareness around sibling bullying and family-based trauma. Survivors often suffer in silence, invalidated by caregivers or society. By bringing this issue into the light, we aim to break the cycle and help protect future generations.
If you’ve lived through it, you are not alone. If you’ve overlooked it, now is the time to see it for what it is—abuse.
