Family Problems

I have a cousin who is from a wealthy family and is very spoiled and very destructive. His parents buy him whatever he wants and doesn't care about damaging things. He wrecked a sports car and his parents bought him a new one 2 days later. When we were younger he would destroy his toys, beat me up, choke me and once tried to drown me. I've heard he was very violent at his high school.
Any way we go to the same college now and he screams at me that i'm poor and gets in my face and harasses me. I am afraid of him. His parents don't really care what he does. Help me!!!

Harrassment is against most college policies. Report the incident.

The police can also be called.

I agree, report him. Even though he is your cousin, NOONE deserves to be treated the way he is treating u, family or not! I hope that u get the support u need from the college campus.

Sounds like he is a bully. Don't be bullied!!! Go see your student couselor/advisor immediately and ask them what to do. Bullying should NOT be tolerated!

Destructive people like this cousin of yours are control freaks. YES! You have rights as per college policies so for sure report him and get him expelled! Definitely take legal action and go to the police. Get him out of your life in any way you need to..to hell if he is a family member...you don't need him in your life and you are the better person. Don't let him bring you down...he is just a hateful person.
