I'm 13 and my brother is 15. He picks on me a lot and sometimes makes me mad but i love him very much. I just wish we were closer. I try to talk to him but he don't talk to me much. How do I get my brother and me to be closer?
DrAnqel answered Saturday April 23 2005, 2:13 pm: Don't let his remarks affect you, maybe you should play the silent game, just ignore him for a while, when he comes to you just tell him how you're feeling, you also have to remember that 15 year old boys have their own agendas, so don't be heartbroken if he turns you down.

IfIonlyhadaLIFE answered Saturday April 23 2005, 2:11 pm: You and your brother are really close in age and you've probably heard this a hundred times but his picking on you though it may not be nice is normal. Most kids your age would say they hate thier brother but you didn't. You should tell him that and if that doesn't work just shove right in his face.

xOtWiXi answered Saturday April 23 2005, 1:12 pm: I think that it's probably just the age, and even though he might not talk back, he is definitely listening to you. If you want to try to be closer, I'd recommend something that you both enjoy- maybe a day at the boardwalk, water sports, or just simply hanging out and watching your favorite movie. He probably forgot how cool his sister is =] Hope I've Helped- and if you need ANYTHING else, don't hesistate to ask! ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]

sunshine805 answered Saturday April 23 2005, 1:49 am: Play sports together or do an activity together like a board game or something. Ask him how things are going with him and have a good conversation.
Hope I helped!

I have a younger brother that I constantly pick on, and I can see how that would get annoying to the younger sibling. Maybe ask him to stop picking on you? Of that's not an option, tell your parents. They can make him stop if the abuse is totally annoying you.
Micah answered Friday April 22 2005, 11:45 pm: hey, thats what older syblings are for, to be mean to the younger ones. im the youngest of 4, the closest one to me if 5 years older. im 14, its taken 14 years for my and my closest age sybling to get along. we used to get in fights all the time. but we grew out of it. your brother is just in the stage where he doesnt realize hwo much you mean to him. the time will come when ya'll will get close..

sadf16 answered Friday April 22 2005, 9:51 pm: find out something about him that he wants to keep secret. Know more about his secrets. As much as possible you need to know his secrets in order to be close him. If he knows that you know his secrets without letting him get angry. Just look at his daily activities and find out "accidentally", then maybe he'll get to talk to you more. [ sadf16's advice column | Ask sadf16 A Question ]
Michele answered Friday April 22 2005, 9:50 pm: Well I know what works with parents and kids when they don't get along. Try this.
Ask him his opinion about something. Let him know, (indirectly) that you think he is smart. And you value his advice. DO something that he advises, and when it comes out good (hopefully) tell him and say thank you. When someone feels good about themselves, they usually don't tease anyone. Tell him that other people think highly of him, and then he won't want to dissapoint people by acting like a jerk.
