August 7, 2020 MY BROTHER IS BLACKMAILING ME!!! Dear Nikki, Help! My totally annoying little brother caught me doing something wrong and now he’s using it as BLACKMAIL!!! I have to do everything he says or he’ll tell our parents and I’ll be in SERIOUS trouble! I’m talking grounded for the next five years! What should I do?! Blackmailed By Bratty Brother Hi Blackmailed By Bratty Brother, Oh wow, I thought Brianna was bad! But I don’t think she’s ever blackmailed me! (PLEEEAAASE, no one explain blackmail to her ☹!!) The way I see it, you’ve got three options: 1) Stay under your devious little brother’s control. 2) Find a way to counter-blackmail him. Or 3) Confess what you did to your parents. Stay under your devious little brother’s control. I mean…I’m guessing this is not going to be your choice. And I don’t recommend it. Because I’m guessing that the more you do what he says, the more power-crazed he’ll become and he’ll have you doing bigger and worse things. Think about it—in the long-run, he might be punishing you more than your parents would! So let’s talk about counter-blackmail. 😈 If your brother is blackmailing you, I’m guessing he’s no angel himself. Surely you know (or can find out) blackmail-worthy dirt on him. When you’ve got it, then you can counter-blackmail. Your dirt will basically neutralize his dirt! If he spills your secrets, then you’ll spill his (and vice versa). This is known (in spy movies, anyway) as mutually assured destruction. If I go down, you go down! But, I’ve got to be honest—you’ll still be living with the stress that he’s got something bad to spill about you. It’s not a perfect plan. So…I don’t really recommend this one either. Finally, confess what you did to your parents. I know this sounds terrible, but truth be told, your current situation already sounds even more terrible! If you face things with your parents and pay the price, it’ll be over. They’ll forgive you. Everyone will move on. But if you let your brother blackmail you, he could hold that over you for YEARS! Like, I think you were probably exaggerating when you said you’d get grounded for five years. But it’s NOT exaggerating that an especially conniving sibling could blackmail you for five years. Plus, when you confess to your parents, you could tell them that your brother was blackmailing you and he’ll probably get in trouble, too! ☺ So, consider these options. I think fessing up is your best choice. And a bonus side effect to that will be your brother will probably re-think blackmailing you in the future! Have you ever been blackmailed? How did you handle it? Tell us in the comments!
Dorky dork says August 20, 2020 at 3:58 pm Hey guys Dorky dork is back again just wanted to let you know I tried what you said 1 I called again and again but that didn’t work so… 2 I texted to him I quote “ I am breaking up with you” and he responded so quickly begging for another chance and said that he was taking a break from social media but when he saw my text he couldn’t resist. IdK why he would do that but at least I got him back. Thank you thank you and thank you to… HELPFUL HELPER and Unicorn girl You two are awesome advice givers and right now I would be single without you. You guys are the best thank you

Gryffindor_Dork says August 20, 2020 at 9:10 am Hi trouble with brother, hope Nikki’s advice helped to stop getting in trouble because of your brother! And I’ll be sure to ask advice if I need to from you, winter101!! Have a supercool day!!! ~Gryffindor_Dork~
Gryffindor_Dork says August 20, 2020 at 9:08 am Hey, My Life SUCKS, Don’t feel that way, your life does NOT suck! Im sure there are many things or many people which you love, that makes your life better! So instead of thinking about the bad things happening, think of the good things, even if they are few, every little good thing matters!!!! Have a supercool day!!!!! ~Gryffindor_Dork~
Gryffindor_Dork says August 20, 2020 at 9:06 am Hi, dorkygirl13, I’m sorry your enemy blackmailed you, hope Nikki’s advice helps! Have a supercool day!!!! ~Gryffindor_Dork~
Gryffindor_Dork says August 20, 2020 at 9:04 am Hi sad sister! I’m not Nikki, but I’ll be happy to help! I think the best thing to do is to just let him copy you, because that way he’ll eventually get tired of it! And when it seems like an argument is about to start, just leave! I hope I helped! Have a supercool day!! ~Gryffindor_Dork~
Devil says August 20, 2020 at 1:50 am I have the same thing happening to me and my I counter blackmailed him
Converse Councilor says August 19, 2020 at 7:30 pm Hi Sad Sister! I’m not Nikki, but I’d love to help you! I had that same problem! Here’s my advice: 1) Tell him that you’re really happy he wants to be like you, but he can like what he actually likes, and be his own person, and you want him to grow up as him and not you. Make sure he knows you love him. 2) Be a good example so he can follow in your footsteps. 3) It’s just a phase. He’ll grow out of it soon, because after you start some really hard chores he’ll want to stop. Hope this helps!!! Your friend, Converse Councilor
My life SUCKS says August 19, 2020 at 6:28 pm It seems like my life is totally CURSED!! Bad things are happening to me
Dork diaries helper says August 20, 2020 at 12:04 pm Omg. Maybe did you smash a mirror within 7 years?
My comments are dramatic says August 19, 2020 at 6:16 pm yeah, pretty sure telling the truth is the best idea…
Foxina says August 19, 2020 at 4:44 pm This ALWAYS happens to me…!!! Your advice helped, Nikki!! 🙂 To be honest, though…. I was thinking to write something similar to u
Dorkygirl13 says August 19, 2020 at 4:42 pm Hey guys, Dorkygirl13 hear, Anyone needing advice feel free 2 ask me! Every day I will post a positive affirmation! Are numbers are going down, Yaysies! Oh, and blackmailed bye bratty brother, I agree with Indoprincess, You should tell your parents. Last time i was blackmailed, I was used for 7 weeks and then he told on me! Most likely he will tell on u later, after hes gotten his blackmail over. Also, youre parents will always love u know matter what.
Dorkygirl13 says August 19, 2020 at 4:26 pm Omg yes, my enemy Julia did it when she found out my crush.
Sad sister! says August 19, 2020 at 1:34 pm Dear Nikki My little brother is always copying me he says it’s because he wants to be me one day im flattered i really am but after a few weeks it gets annoying and we get into fights what should i do?
Phyre says August 20, 2020 at 3:40 am To: Sad Sister! Subject: My siblings copying me! Date: 20 August 2020, Thursday From: Phyre Hey there girl! 🙂 Nikki answered a similar question to yours a while back! Just search Nikki’s advice and it should be there under the tag “SIBLINGS” it is titled “MY LIL’ SIS COPIES EVERYTHING I DO!!!” I know it says sis and you’re talking about your bro, but essentially, they’re doing the same thing, copying! I hope Nikki’s advice helps you! Regards, Phyre
⭐️Ask_SnowNoodle⭐️ says August 19, 2020 at 10:22 am Dear crush dilema, I am not good on this topic but I will try to help. Do something nice to them like plan a surprise or something. Or you can just wait and see what happens you can also take my advice I did on MoonThePan. I would suggest on going to another EPIC advice giver out there. Sorry I can’t help. -⭐️Ask_SnowNoodle⭐️ (Please post)
⭐️Ask_SnowNoodle⭐️ says August 19, 2020 at 10:17 am Dear MoonThePan, I am not very good on these topics but I will try. Ask if there is something wrong? Maybe it’s nothing to do with what you thought maybe something has happened and it’s upsetting. Write a letter. See if that works ask if they need any help with something to do. If none of this works I suggest going to another AMAZING advice giver out there. Good luck! -⭐️Ask_SnowNoodle⭐️
