No, you were not, the power differential between a 15 year old and a 9 year old is huge. A 15 year old knows what's right and wrong and what's going on, as well as being much bigger. A 9year old would be very vulnerable with a 15 year old.
You were not to blame at all, even if you didn't outwardly protest, and even if there were some aspects of it that you didn't mind ... not assuming there was but saying if there was it still wouldn't be your fault in any way at all.
It wasn't your fault in any way. Big brothers are supposed to protect their siblings from that kind of thing.
Thanks for this!

There is a valid reason for the "age of consent" concept. As a 9 year old you were not responsible for your behavior. You are not to blame! It is not your fault!

Do you know,or have you been around any 9 year olds?What about 15 year olds?

That was something that helped me place the blame where it belonged,observing kids that are around the age I was and the age they were.It was a real eye opener for me.
Thanks for this!

Hello there—first I hate that you had to experience this. The situation was not your fault. Please do not blame yourself.
