Siblings are bullies to each other. It's part of being siblings. And just because a sibling 'gives advice' doesn't mean the kid is going to listen; the way Jaune could look at it is "Easy for you to say, you're not the one being bullied." If he doesn't think they really understand, he's less likely to follow their advice, and if they're all talented in whatever they do whereas he isn't talented in any particular thing, it grows into an inferiority complex.

I'm pretty sure I remember Jaune saying that his parents actually knew he was going to be coming to Beacon, and told him that when he fails he is always welcome back home. That's not exactly supportive; that sounds to me more like they've just sort of given up on him and expect him to fail now. That would explain quite a bit about his inferiority complex, when even your parents don't believe you can actually succeed in your dreams.
