In some cultures, family harmony is more important than individual feelings.
A person may be pressured to accept bad treatment to keep the family peaceful. This can make it hard to report bullying.
In East Asian and South Asian cultures, family harmony is very important. This is called 'collectivist' thinking. Family members often feel pressure to keep peace. They may avoid conflict to save 'face' for the family. Filial piety means respecting elders and parents. An older sibling's authority is often strong. Their actions might seem acceptable because of their age. A person who complains about bullying might be seen as causing trouble. The complaint itself is seen as the problem. The bad behavior is not addressed.
An older brother always criticizes his younger sister's job choices. The sister tells her parents about it. The parents tell her, 'Do not make problems. He is your older brother. He wants good things for you. We must all get along for the family.' The sister feels she must stay quiet.
