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.

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

Wow. I didn't even think of blackmail. You are like, the most perfectly evil little sister ever.
