Be closer to my brother..
I have a younger brother who is 13 & I'm a 16 year old girl. I'd like to be closer to him or at least really get to know him. We fought when we were younger & I tend to put him down a lot. We rarely talk now... or see each other. We're both on the computer in our rooms all the time. He likes to play video games & I'm not good at them. It's like we have nothing in common besides our last name.
I don't want to be a bad influence on him though... He makes jokes about weed/etc because it's the cool thing with his friends. I know he doesn't do it. I, on the other hand, have made some not so great choices. He doesn't know I have but still I don't want that to rub off on him... I want better for him.
Anyway, I'd really like to be able to hang with him & just be a better sister than I have been. My boyfriend plays video games with his little brother but I honestly don't know what to do with mine. Any ideas? Thanks in advanced!

Well definitely try to find something in common! My little brother is 12 and I am 15, we have gotten so close over the last year! We play pool together alot, it's our thing really. We listen to the same music together. He's really a great friend, I consider him a friend, as well as my brother.
Try to find something you both like that you can do together and claim as 'your thing'. Ask him about his day, about his girlfriend. Just talk to him about your day, ask him for help studying or something. [Mine helps me with Spanish].
Good luck, and I admire you for trying to get close to your brother, not many sisters do. You are a great person!!

Try to find things you both have in common. Sports and school might be good to talk about. Maybe even try playing some sports. You can try playing video games with him(personally, I like them). What about music? If you like the same music...blast it! Jump on your bed and sing to it! (Actually, don't do that. Parents can get annoyed sometimes.) Try talking to him first, though. That's the best way to start things, I think. Just let him know you love him and care. He should open up eventually.

Well you can always talk to him about his school, his teacher, his friends or his girlfriend. You can help him with his homework or TRY to play video games with him. Try to act instrested in what he is doing and talk to him more. Hope i helped<333
