The correct answer is tort.
In legal terminology, a tort refers to a wrongful act which leads to damage to somebody, their property, or their reputation. As a result of this, the person who has been wronged can sue the person who wronged them and ask for a monetary compensation. The word tort comes from Latin tortum, which means wrong or injustice.

How does the relationship between siblings typically change from adolescence to adulthood? the siblings tend to become closer?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
<span>During the adolescent stages in life, things seem so much bigger than they are. You can view that in the positive light or the negative to be honest. As a child, you see your siblings as another human who lives in your home with you, eats the same food, breathes the same air, loves the same parents as you. You fight over the remote control and wrestle with one another over a small toy you both insisted on needing at the same time. Within the next breath, you sit next to them and talk about your day, ask them to defend you from a so called friend who uses your kindness for weakness as your sibling reminds you of why you are so imortant in this life and deserve to be noticed for that... Swingsets, bike rides to the store, a companion who is always there to listen about how mom and dad "just aren't fair!" Fast forward to 30 years old. Life interferes with the time spent together, the playtime becomes few and far between and the bike rides are a distant memory. The things that stay though...those are very similar to my first statements on childhood with them. The love, support and time spent doesn't need to disapear. It turns into a mature type of love. You call one another every few days to check in. Make a coffee date to catch up on her latest life experience and remind them that you are always here. Those bike rides though? Now you can take them together with your own children.</span>
