Taylor, a lot of us have been in similar places, believe it or not. I'll try to hit each of your points:
Worried about failing next year? then try extra help from someone you feel comfortable with- or you can even ask some homework questions on YAnswers. Just don't ever give out you phone # or any personal information. Keep it online.
If you are staying up too late because of insomnia, try some relaxing things before bed. You can always try drinking some herbal teas like: SleepyTime tea (it has chamomile) or try boiling some anise seeds in water and add milk & sugar. These both will help calm your body and your nerves so you can rest. Also try reading a comic book or something silly and light before bed so your mind doesn't have a chance to worry about all this stuff.
I can't help on the problems in school because I don't know the specifics.
About your brother- I know he doesn't hate you. You, and even he, might think he does now, but time will make it change. If he's really a jerk, then just stay out of his way. And you know what? Usually when you all but ignore someone, that's when they want to talk to you more, no matter who it is. My sister and I didn't get along for years, but now she's 25 and I'm 30, and we're finally getting close because we realized we do love each other. So, it might take time, a long time, but the love is there because you are blood.
About your temper, I also have had a very bad temper. I have broken many things out of anger, so I can understand how it feels to be SO MAD... I know I like that smash and crash sound when I'm angry. Try to find ways to get that relief without actually being destructive. See if you can go to a batting range or something like that- or even pop some bubble wrap.
Good luck.

Well Taylor its never too late to start new, so all you have to do is decide you are going to change for the best and well if you ever want to talk about anything feel free to contact me richtorres_2000@yahoo.com or IM richtorres_2000. I think that most people your age go through all of this, as far as pressure don't let other people control your life and make you do things that in the long run will hurt you. You are too young and too bright and I know this because you are seeking for help. So any time drop a line Im more than willing to listen and give you advice.

You always have someone to talk to. Every school that I have been to (not sure where you live or anything) has had some sort of counsler. If you ever feel the need to talk to someone, you can usually just go talk to this person. One of the good things about them is that they work with students your age, and understand what you are going through. They can also help you find tutors or something if you feel you need help in some of the subjects. And chances are your brother doesn't hate you, you guys are young and sometimes young brothers don't get along. I had a lot of problems with my brothers, but by the time we stopped living in the same house, things started to get a lot better. It's hard living with people. Remember, you always have someone to talk to.

Take a sheet of paper and write down all your problems. Then go back and read each one of them. Cross out the ones that are really only little problems to make you list shorter. Once you have your final list, take each item and write down all your feelings about that problem. When you are through writing, read it again and then tear it up in little pieces and tell yourself that you are tough enough to make those problems go away.
You are your best friend. Be kind to yourself. Try to stay out of trouble in school. Your brother doesn't hate you, you just go through phases where you don't get along great, but he doesn;t hate you, trust me.
Hang in there. It will get better.

I doubt this is the answer you're looking for, but-
I suggest you find a youth group, preferably faith-based. As far as staying up too late, you need to re-adjust your internal clock. Try staying up all night on a Friday night, no naps on Saturday. Go to bed at a reasonable hour on Saturday, then get up early on Sunday and establish that as your schedule and stick with it. I'd also suggest a balanced diet if you don't have one already.
As far as your brother, that's just what boys are like when you're this age. Ignore him; you'll both outgrow it.

awwwww i remember 6th grade.
here are some tips:
*organize everything. sure, it's boring. but it's more helpful in the end
*make sure u get at LEAST 9 hours of sleep a night. so if you wake up at 7 to get ready for school, make sure to go to bed at 10
*do your homework RIGHT when you get home. you won't want to, but it gives you more time to do stuff afterwards.
*sibling rivalry is part of life. you really just need to get over it. evenutally, everybody grows out of it.
*i have a bad temper too. you just need to learn how to control it.
*don't be pessimistic. look forward to 6th grade.
p.s. you didnt need to say p.s. in your question

I totally know how you feel.. Keep a positive attitude, and talk to someone. YOu are going to explode if you don't. Go to a counseler (it isn't that bad.... I thought it would be, but it isn't)., or to your parents or a really close friend. Or you could talk to God. He loves you and he wants to help you with that load of yours. He made you and wants to be there for you, and be the one you want to talk to about your life. I am an older sibling and I know what it is like do feel like you hate your siblings. Sibs do it all the time. Don't worry about it, but try to talk to him, and tell him how you feel. It might sound wimpy or whatever but I would feel better about it if my sibs talked to me. But you are jsut stressed and God wants to help you through these hard times and comfort you, cuz I know it is hard, and He knows it is hard. He wants a personal relationship with you and he wants you tol accept his sacrifice (dieing on the cross). Just ask him to forgive your sins and come into your life. He wants you to be his child. He is waiting, and will keep waiting. Just ask him.

If you're talking about peer presure then don't let them presure you. To stepping up and being the leader. You know the difference between right and wrong so make your friends follow you. If they don't want to follow then let them go.
You don't have to fail the sixth grade if you don't want to. Get your friends to study with you.

Go to school. You are only in the sixth grade, stop worrying. Every brother hates their brother, get over it. You aren't that unique.
