I'll tell you what my friend had to do. when her parents wouldnt listen to her (her brother was older, and he was like, the *perfect*child) she would just fight back. And I mean fight. It was sad, but you gotta teach him that he cannot get away with that kind of stuff. Make him cry. Make his sad. Its dicipline. You shouldnt have to teach it to him, but obviously its not coming from anywhere else. So its just like a kid has to learn that fire is hot and it hurts when you tough it, he needs to learn that when he hits, you'll hit back and it will hurt. I'm sorry that you have to go thru this. I'm an only child, so I never had to deal with it. BUt I suppose thats the best way. OR try and ignore him. This is also hard to do. But he gets some kind of reaction out of you, weather its tears or yelling or whatever...so try just ignoring him. Don't talk to him and avoid him. If you see him, walk in the other direction. Ignoring works well on little kids. Then see if maybe he'll be nice. And if he starts acting like a brat some more, ignore him for some more. just be consistent. So he understand the reactions for every action he makes. If he dislikes the consequences enough, hell learn not to do what causes them. Also, try sitting down with your dad when ur brother is like, in the bath tub or something like that, and talking to him calmly about it. Make it clear that you arent tattling on him, you just dont like how hes acting. See if your dad will try to pay closer attention to you two, and maybe he can interfere. Hope everything works out.
