advice

I am the middle child in my family and sometimes I think I don't belong with my siblings. Don't get me wrong I love them to death but... I am 13 a typical girl teenager. I like make-up, boys, fashion. But my brother does not respect any of my private life or social life. I am always baby-sitting for my little sister while my mom and dad are working and while my brother is out with his friends 24/7. It's not like I do it for my health i'm doing it for the $$$ but I need to get out too and especially since its summer. I am always fighting with my older brother and when ever I am on the phone with my boyfriend my brother always makes some rude remarks like "hey is this your tampon" or something like that something gross. I TOTALLY respect his private life and social life. My brother goes through my stuff, looks at my txt messagees on my cell phone to all my friends and my boyfriend and he goes on my screen name and talks to my friends pretending to be me. I have told him so many times that I need some space and he doesnt care. He gives smart remarks to me and I can't handle it. I've told my parents they yell at him yet when we're around my parents together he acts so perfect and he is older then me... how pathetic... but seriously I NEED HELP!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! GIVE ME SOME ADVICE!!!!!!!!
Signed,
Brother Hater

Give him a taste of his own medicine. Go through his stuff. Read his text messages. When he's on the phone with a girl, say "Hey is this your jockstrap?". Soon enough, he will get tired of it. Tell him that if he stays out of your life, you will stay out of his life.

As for the babysitting thing...I babysit too a lot during the summer, so I hang out with my friends after my parents come home or on the weekends.
