Even if we argue and disagree with each other; we shouldn't hold grudges, belittle or hurt each other. Using harmful words like "stupid" or "ugly" when we're angry can damage self-esteem, as can picking on flaws that we know the other person is aware of. Since the youngest is only ten years old, it is especially important not to do something like this to her because it could be more harmful and she might not be able to handle it like us older ones do. We need to strengthen her and only feed her positivity so that she sees our good example and brings it into her world. We joke and call each other names, but it's important to know when to draw the line. My grandmother is the middle child of ten and with so many siblings it's definitely easy for tensions to rise. My grandmother's brothers always made sure not to be offensive when they had a disagreement or when something didn't go their way. My grandmother has hazel-gray eyes and freckles, so when one of her sisters would ask her to cover their chores or get them something from the store and she would say no; they would say "that's okay, you old freckled face, I didn't want it anyway" or "get out of here, gray eyes". That was their way of going back without being harmful. They never belittle each other and always support each other
