My brother
13/f
My brother is 10 years old and he bugs me so much! I know everybody has to deal with this but I want it at least a little easier. Well he only comes in and starts talking to me about something random when I'm on the phone. Then when my friends come over he wants to hang out with us. But when I'm not doing anything like that he just would leave me alone. Except for when I am on the computer and he tries to take it from me. I don't bother him or do anything when he is hanging out with his friends but I don't know how to deal with this.

It may just be me, but sounds like your brother maybe likes one of your friends. Did you ever think about that? It's a little weird, but my brother liked plenty of my friends. Maybe you should try talking to him about it. Or maybe your parents. I know that my parents didn't do much. They always said that it was just "a thing". When in reality, it's a very big thing. Try taking time out just to spend on him. Maybe he's feeling a little lonely and misses his older sister.

Sounds like he's just trying to annoy you. Have you talked to your parents about this? Getting them to help you may be very useful, as they can do all sorts of helpful things like, say, ask him to help out with a household chore when you are on the phone. Other things you could try are ignoring him when he purposefully is trying to get on your nerves. When he attempts to steal the computer, either say you'll be off in a time period (ei ten minutes), or make it clear that you got the computer first, and won't ever give it up when this is the case. Ever. He'll learn (sounds harsh, but really works for younger siblings). You could also do something like tell your parents you're doing work on the computer (if you are) and that you're brother's being annoying. They'll likely be very sympathetic if work is involved =]

okay, he will always be a little enoying, but there is stuff to do about it:
i suggest that you spend some time alone with him, just you and him, maybe doing something he likes to do. Dont get into a fight with him if he starts acting immature, simply tell him that he needs act "less silly." this will bring you guys closer together.
Try to talk to him in a more mature, calm, tone and manner. When he is bothering you with or without you friends over, just act like nothing is bothering you, and talk to him calmly. Say "(name) i will play with you a little later when (name) is gone, okay? I promise. please let us have some time alone now."
GoOd LuCk!!!

I used to be like that with my sister.it might be that you don't spend enough time with him.So he wants to know what you are doing.Maybe you should ask him if that is why.But he probably won't admit it.Hope I helped.♥alley

Hey!
I dont have any younger siblings, but I have a lot of cousins I have to deal with all summer long, and one of my cousins is eleven now, and last summer he was soooo annoying. At the beginning of the summer I would go out of my way to like ignore him, but I learned over time that he just wanted attention. So I tried to give it to him, I would invite him to play videogames with me, or ask him to show me how to skip rocks etc. (we were at our cabin) by paying attention to him when he wasnt acting out, it encouraged him to give me my space when I was busy. I sat down with him one day too and told him how I felt about the things that he did that annoyed me. and I know that sometimes boys dont understand that and dont take it well, but if he continues doing that kind of stuff, ignore it. Pretend it completely doenst phase you. once he realizes that he cant get a rise out of you, he'll quit doing it. When you have friends over, tell them that he's annoying, and warn them. then when he comes just put up with him for a bit, and when he has had enough, he'll get out. but if you get into a huge fighting match or he sees that you are embarrassed by him infront of your friends, he'll continue.
Remember he's at that age where he sees you moving on, where as he is probably stuck with the same friends hes had since kindergarten doing the same things he's been doing for the longest time. Hes probably alittle kjealous, and if you treat him as if he's not your ten year old brother, maybe he'll treat you with respect.
Hopefully that helps you out, but if it doesnt, let me know I might have some other ideas. Good luck, love ya,
