"Growing Pains" generally means the physical pains that someone goes through while growing up, but it also has figurative meaning about the pains one goes through as they progress through life. This story, in my opinion, is literally a representation of growing pains. We see the struggles that the Zhang family experiences as the kids grow up.
In the story, as we follow along with Jenny's Brother's development, I would argue that we have an Evolution of Jenny more so than her brother. We get to see 3 stages of Jenny's development throughout the story, although a little out of order. We get to see a young Jenny who cares deeply about her brother, and then a teenage rebellious Jenny who just wants to get away from her family, and especially her brothers nagging. Finally, we see Jenny as a young adult, whose remorseful about how she acted as a teen, and how she treated her brother. However, the maturing of her brother also exists quite prominently in the story, so I am not comfortable with just renaming it to"My evolution as a sister". With "Growing Pains" instead, it encompasses the growth of both of them.
This can also be seen in their mother, as we still experience "growing pains" even late into our lives. Jenny's mom seems to be quite unwilling to believe that her kids are growing up. She complains that Jenny is running off at 18 when she herself stayed with her family until 30, and she also complained about Jenny's dad throwing away Jenny's brothers sleeping mat in their room, despite the fact that he had outgrown it.
Overall by renaming it "Growing Pains", it helps generalize the story to apply to the entire Zhang family rather than an individual member. Or perhaps, "Growing Pains of the Zhang Family" would be a better title. If there is something that my title doesn't capture, I feel like it would be the remorse at the end felt by Jenny (Although I don't think the original title captured that either).
Your reasoning for changing the title of "The Evolution of my brother" to "Growing Pains" is quite sound. I'm not sure whether there is one character that the story is focused on; although it is narrated from Jenny's perspective, a lot of the action focuses on her brother/family. Additionally, I agree with your point that it isn't just the brother who's "evolving." Jenny certainly goes through a transformation of her own, and your title ("Growing Pains") would take into account both of the siblings' changes. However, I also feel like the original title has some merit. For example, the narration occurs from the sister's point of view, and the her brother's evolution is strongly linked to her change in character.
