So, before I start telling about what's happened, I need to tell you some backgrounds. So, I'm pretty good at school, in some subjects it's because I'm just talented, wich means I haven't done anything to be good in it, and in others I have just studied my ass off to get 10's (A's, got 6 of 'em in my final grades last year.). My little sister again does pretty much the same amount of hard work, maybe even more, to get 6's-8's, and she's pretty jealous about it. She was pretty diappointed about this, when we got our final grades for the last year, even if her grades were better than she thought.

Now when we're on summer holidays, we always tend to stay up to 3am with my mom and little sister, playing cards and watching television. Under these periods, especially when I'm tired and she makes dumb comments, or just annoys me in another way, I call her dumb. That would seem as an pretty innocent thing to call someone, but she really get's insulted by it, like I ment it. She's really not dumb btw. Now she's really hurt and I don't know what to do. It's not fair, I haven't done anything to deserve to be more intelligent that her, I haven't earned it in any way. And I don't even know if I'm more intelligent that she is, she just assumes so since I'm good at math.

I know this because mom came to me last night, when my little sister was asleep, and told me that she's sad. Even mom feels disappointed of my behaviour, and she thinks that I think that I'm a better person that she is, because I'm good at math. So now I feel like I have failed my mom, and made my little sister sad. So with this thread I'm just asking what to do, to het things right again. Because now my little sisters confidence has suffered pretty much, says mom. Dang.

Sorry for making this so long, I tried to make the text shorter.

Wow... Like waffleburger said, your family is definitely over reacting. Seriously, you shouldn't even have to apologize, everybody calls people dumb. Maybe your sister is dumb for getting depressed over being called dumb.

If you really feel bad about it, just tell her that you didn't mean it and you were just tired.

We've had fights too, but that's different. I mean, she really thinks she's dumb and is sad about it. It's different than maybe a bruise that will heal in a day.

I think they are, but that won't change the fact that she's hurt and she's sad because of me. They have the right to overreact, I should take that into consideration before I call her dumb and make her sad. Gosh this starts to sound like some soap opera..

Sounds like your family is getting butthurt because they're insignificant.

Just kidding :B

I think you should just go tell her it was a joke and some stuff you said on here like you don't know why you're smarter and stuff, and tell your mom that you're not a better person cause you're smarter.
That's just stupid, cause I think you're an asshole :B

Do nothing, 12 year olds just want attention, you did nothing a brother isn't supposed to do. Every brother calls his sister dumb. Give it a day or 2 and she will forget all about it.

You might have struck a nerve from a bad past experience or she might feel inferior to you and less loved and less attention. but i sir commend you for at least seeing what you have done wrong and actually feeling bad for it. Sounds like you come from a good family that cares about each other which most people don't have. It isn't your fault she is upset you just might have said the wrong thing at the wrong time. You feel bad about it though and want to make it right so you sir are a bigger man already than have the people on this site.

Well in my opinion I think you should sit with her and tell her your sorry for calling her dumb, and then when the school year comes around again you should sit with her and tell her, that she is doing great with her work and support her. she will probably get out of being so sad because her big brother is there for her. She just really wants you to love her and help her out, shes just young and she wants some one to look up to.

Tell her to stop beeing a bitch.
This is just a phase, every little sister goes through the exact same thing.
Be it an inferiority complex, or just general hate on the world (emo kids) or whatever.
YOU can't do anything about it.
Let her go to her friends and bitch about you, that will cool her down.

Most people all the time say things like 'Oh you're stupid' just messing about. I hear loads of people say it. I get treated like im stupid sometimes and it gets to me. In some ways its kind of normal what you have been saying. It's just like a little mess around wind up isn't it but maybe you should sit down and talk to your sister and just tell her you didn't mean it and reassure her she isn't dumb and you are only doing it messing around to get back at her and let your mum know too that you have spoken to her and apoligized after you have done it so your mum will respect you for making the effort and then your little sister will be happier too. Tell her you know she is really clever and that and you don't mean it when you call her dumb =]

Yeah, I have helped her with her homework and stuff, she was really happy and mom was proud, and she even felt happy about the results when she got the test she was practicing for. I'll try to help her even more next year, maybe she'll feel more happy about her own results.

Well, she apparently did get hurt by it, pretty weird thought.

Thanks to all of you with helpful posts, I'll thumb you all up. :)

Girls cry over stuff to make you feel bad, even though you should know better.

You must be like 12 years old yourself if you can't deal with basic social situations.

What?
Since when do all 12 year olds want attention?
I certainly didn't when I was 12, I was really quiet.

If I were you I'd just say:

"By the way.. You know I was joking don't you, when I said you were dumb? Sorry for saying it- I didn't mean it"

Then spend a bit of time with her.

Ask her if she is actually, sincerely hurt by what you said. If she is, then you all you have to do is give her a hug and tell her that you're seriously sorry. From the sounds of it, you're her only sibling, which means one thing; she looks up to you man. That's probably why it affected her so much. Think about if your parent called you dumb. Maybe its not quite the same, but you get the idea.
