His actions though may very well have destroyed her ability to even function in school and revealing something like this has probably destroyed any chance of their ever having a decent relationship in the future. Most siblings have fights or tattle on each other over the course of their childhood but get over it as adults and become more close. I can't see these two ever getting past this though. As funny as it was at first, when I really sit and think about it, it's a life changing move on the brother's part.

I doubt this incident will have any lasting impact after she graduates in a few months. Things like this happen all the time. Thinking back on my own high school experience, the contents of private journals made their way into the public eye, but those girls were fine after graduation.
I think both of these CHILDREN need to grow up. Why would you rat out your sibling like that? So sad. While my brother and I had a love-hate relationship growing up, we'd never do anything like this. We'd just fight each other, drawing blood...breaking bones, etc. It's bad, but better than this underhanded mess.
