When me and my brother were little, we frequently play fighted, and would hit our heads alot. never had concussion, but some small cuts. caused bd?

No way: Brain damage requires enough force to transmit energy through the skull. A concussion would cause loss of consciousness and that can cause some damage, especially if it is frequently done( think boxing or football); just rough housing isn't likely to cause permanent damage.
