The researchers, from the University of York, found that children whose brother regularly and consistently harassed them at a young age were at higher risk for mental and social problems in later adolescence.

They further found that as the frequency of sibling bullying increases in the early years of adolescence, so does the severity of mental health problems in that child's late teens.

To reach these conclusions, the authors of the study - published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence - examined data on more than 17,000 people.

Participants completed surveys about their personal experiences with sibling bullying between the ages of 11 and 14.

Subsequently, each subject answered a mental health questionnaire at age 17. The parents of the children also answered questionnaires regarding the mental health of their children aged 11, 14, and 17 years.

Regarding bullying during early adolescence, the researchers found that both the victim and the perpetrator have a long-term impact on mental health as they grow older.

It should be noted that many sibling bullying relationships can change frequently - with one sibling taking on the role of bully at one time, and the role of victim at other times.
