i hate my little brother :(


Question Posted Sunday May 7 2006, 4:44 pm

I feel kind of bad saying this but i really hate my little brother he is 10 and i am 14/f. He pisses me off soooooo much! LIke he does whatever he can to get me in trouble like if i say like one thing mean he will freak out and tell on me or try to get me off the computer. He also always sits next to me when i am on the computer and reads my e-mails while i am typing them or pretends to be me on instant messenger when i'm not there. He acts like a dork in front of my friends and alwaiz says hi to me in a stupid voice when i am with my friends. When i use the bathroom to put on makeup he gets mad and cries so i have to get out. He punches me all the time (it doesn't rly hurt) and threatends to punch me in the boobs!! That really makes me mad because that is nothing he should be getting near. He also always pretends to hagve a crush on me and that is DISCUSTING and it makes me hate him even more. What am i supposed to do?! I can honsetly say i hate him!! when i try to talk to my parents they tell me i'm over reacting and they tell him to stop AND HE DOESN'T what am i supposed to do? Please help!! I'l rate!!!!!!!!

Hi

Your annoying little brother is doing his job!! That's what brothers do. Unfortunately this isn't going to change anytime soon.

I think your best bet is to try to ignore him. He is doing all this because he's getting a rise out of you. Every time you yell or cry or tell your parent's he's thinking "yes, I'm getting to her..it's working" If you pretend he's not even there when he's acting like that, then the fun for him will be gone.

Honestly, it kinda falls under the same category as bullies. They bug you and are mean to you because you let them. If you start to take the fuel out of their fire so to speak, by ignoring them, they will move on.

Now, he is your brother so you can't get him out of your life...and down the road when you both grow up you will see that it was all part of being siblings.

Another thought, is that he does these things because he wants to be involved in your life, and doesn't know any other way to do it. What if every once in a while you did something with him...just him. Spend some brother/sister time.

Good luck, and take care.

Brenda

He thinks it's his job to annoy you, and he is doing a good job at it. He's only doing this because he wants your attention--and he loves you and looks up to you as a big sister.

Remember, with kids, negative attention is better than no attention at all.

Is there any way you could tolerate him long enough to spend a set amount of time doing something he would enjoy once or twice a week? Go to a park, play a video game, cook a meal together, play catch and so on. He might even enjoy planting flowers or rock collecting? I am guessing that if you spend special quality time together some of the annoying behavior will stop.

I know that little siblings can be plain annoying, but you have to deal with it somehow.

For one thing, you don't hate your little brother. I know you could argue that point with me forever, but he's 10 and you are 14 an that's a pretty big age difference. When you are 10, you think just about every little thing is funny, and then when something dramatic happens, it's a big disappointment to them.

Being a 14 year old female is different. While you are into cell phones and boys, he's into Batman and G rated movies. That is why you both don't get along. Maybe your little brother wants attention from you because you are his older sister and he can't really find it from someone else so he picks on you. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for these situations like these:

-Try putting on your make-up in your room. You'll save the fighting that happens with him throwing a fit and kicking you out of the bathroom. If you cannot do this, try putting on make-up earlier or tell your mom or dad that you need more time in the bathroom to apply make-up. Don't say this in a whining voice, just be mature and tell them this.

-Explain to your parents maturely that you'd like some private time on the computer. When your brother comes around to check out what you are doing, pull up some boring website and pretend you are reading it to make him get bored and leave. He'll eventually get sick of that.

-When he acts silly in front of your friends- just let him. I know it seems like the most humiliating thing ever, but it's really not. If you want alone time with your friends, go in your room or go outside somewhere to hang out.

-Just because he prentends to have a crush on you, it doesn't make him a pervert or anything. He's only doing his job as a brother-grossing you out in any way possible. Just ignore him or leave the room.

-When he threatens to punch you in the boobs again, let your parents know this and tell them that it really bothers you.

I know you've said that you told your parents about this, but I think the way you confront them is making you look like an immature child. Let them know that you need a little more privacy and you'd apreciate it if they'd make him give you some space. Do this when they aren't too busy and act like an adult in this confrontation. I know that your brother is annoying, but I really think he's lonely that he doesn't have anyone to play with, so maybe you should take some time to see a movie with him or at least talk to him sometimes. I know you feel really angry at him, but he's a young immature child, and that what makes him 10 years old.

I think you should talk to a counsular, and have the counsular talk to your parents, because then hopefully your parents will realize how seroius you are about this, and how out of hand your little obnoxoius pest brother is.
