my bro = no talking, unless its rude
my brother hasnt talked to anyone in the family sice last september, and whenever he does speak.. its something rude like "f*ck off b*tch" and ive tried everything from bing overly nice to him, trying to talk to him to being strict about it and telling him he has to behave. i give up! icant do this! but i need to do SOMETHING because its ruining my life! i come late to school every morning because i need the computer and he refuses to leave.. i ask him sooo nicely and tell him i need it for school but he doesnt even answer.. he just sits there ignoring me. the only time he ever speaks is whe i yell at him,.. and even then he just curses at me. Im a 16 year old female, and he's a 14 year old male... i know he's a teenager but this is too much!
what do i do??

Ahhh, how our brothers can be such jerks...
Is there some known reason as to why he is so rude to his family? If not, maybe you can try to find out. It seems he may have some sort of issues. If you know the problem, maybe you can try to help him.
Don't be strict with him, and don't be overly nice. It isn't working so it is pointless and a waste of your energy to continue on those paths.
Try talking to him. Tell him that you are worried that something is bothering him and you want to try to help him sort it out. Assure him that he can trust you, you are his sister and closest relative. If he doesn't want to talk about it, don't press the issue. Assure him that your door is always open to him if he needs to talk about something.
If and when he does talk to you about it, treat it as strictly confidential. Don't tell others what he says to you in confidence, or you will break his trust in you. (That is, unless he tells you about something that is harmful to himself or others.)
