    my brother and I get along well when we grew up.
    we always do negotiateing while the opinion is not the same. we accept each other’s faults and exchange opinions and happy things. share is really an important step to get along with others.
    because you share your thoughts, means the person that you shared with is pretty important to you. of course, stand on one’s side is also a crucial stuff. these methods make my family become better and better.

    I always had conflicts with my brother when we were children.He liked to trick me just for fun and therefore made me very angry.Afterwards,I saw his behavior as nothing and funny when he tried to stimulate me.As we grow up,we seldom conflict although we still have quarrels sometimes.

    When my brother and I were still little we had arguments almost everyday. We quarreled about who could control TV or computer. Sometimes we even fought for them. Since we all grow much maturer, we seldom have conflict now. Instead, we often tease our cousins together

    I often fight with my baby sister even we have already grown up. We argue something like houseworks, attitude, and many other little things. But we still love each other. I think we fight for making more understanding to each but we seldom hit each other.

    When I was little, I always had quarrels with my younger sister. Quite often, we argued about toys, candy or household chores. I remembered once my father brought a cute little doll to my sister, and we fought for it for a while. With rage, my father gave the doll to neither of us. However, as we grow up, these trivial things don’t matter at all. Now, my sister and I get along well. We respect each other and cherish each moment we spend on since we become busier than before and do have much time to get together.

  6. When I was a child, I always argued with my brothers.Sometimes we had a fight.But now we become more mature, if we have argument, we use talking to solve our problems.

  7. There’s a conflict between my family and me. My father is a self-centered person and he always asks his children to do somthing that is unreasonable. As for me, Im 18 already, so I can make decisions myself. For him, though, he always regards me as his little kid. When I get home, we seldom talk to each other because we have nothing in common.

    when I was a kid , I often have lots of quarrels with my older sister such as who can use the computer or watch TV. As time goes on, we gradully get along well with each other. In contrast, up to now, I still often quarrel with my little brother. I think if I would like to get along well with my brother like relating to my sister, it might be a long time for me to wait.

We fought for everything, such as: TV control, the seat which is near the window in the car, the schoolwork, attention from our parents, etc. To sum up, we didn’t get along well when we grew up. However, things have change these years. We learn to tolerate each other and accept. Eventually, we get along well. We care about each other. I realize that nothing is more important than family members and nothing can destroy our relationship.

    I have two little borthers in my family.In my childhood, as an old brother, I always have to face with my young brithers’ trick. For example, I have to protect my toys and preserve my money in a secret base to prevent from their covet. Sometime we have some argue even fight with each other. However, when we are all growing up, we have a good relationship nowadays.

  34. I always fighted with my sister in our childhood, actually I am a very sensitive person, so if my families blabber on me all the time, I will lose my patience and get a bad mood, but when I grow up gradually I realize one thing that their scolding is from their care of mind, so accept their love for you, perhaps conflict is one kind of the communication pattern.

  35. i have one older than me two year brother.when i have problem he can help me slove. when i was little, they are fighting together or playing tv games with us. i think my brother who is a important gay of my mind.

  36. I have one older brother and one older sister. They usually treat me all right. When we were children, my older brother and sister liked to trick me for fun. I was angry at them at that time. Though we sometimes quarrel with each other, we still respect each other. Now, we all grow up and we also become more and more mature. So we seldom have conflicts. I think that toleration is really an important step to get along with each other.

  37. When I was a little girl, I usually had fight with my yunger sister. We would fight for toys or something that both of us wanted to get it. But now both of us are grow up.So we seldom fight with each other. We have a very good relationship now!

We used to play wrestling on the bed and play hide and seek in the park. I love my brothers. I think that the parents are not always fair around the world; for example, my parents love another one more than me when I make mistakes or I do something to make them angry.

    I have one brother and one sister. I am the oldest one of three. Therefore, my parents always tell me that I must do my best to take care of my brother and sister. I think if I had a chance to choose, I really didn’t want to be the oldest one because it’s tired.

  59. Growing up, both my brother and I got along very well. We played many games where we would like to scare one another. When we were in our preteen, we continued to play these games to a point where it resulted in me getting scared for life. Literally.

    Way back when, my brother had braces at the time. Whenever he would use the restroom I would be there, waiting for the right moment to ponce on him. Though what I did not know was that he was doing the same on the inside. As he came out both of us eagerly scared one another, but my brother accidentally hit the bridge of my nose with his braces. To this day, I still have the mark and the bump of the day my brother scared me with his braces.
