Do you think there is any hidden reason that my younger brother (11) points his BB gun at me and pretends to shoot me but shoots at something above my head or to the left of me or to the right of me? I swear I am going have to punch his lights out if he does that to me anymore. Do you guys have any coping stratedgies?

tell your parents to take the gun away for this reason sounds like he is not responsible enough to own a gun

I wouldn't be worrying about hidden reasons. The kid needs some discipline and accountability for his actions. You do not under any circumstances point a gun of any kind at anyone. It's time to take the gun away and destroy it in front of him. When he is more mature and responsible, then see about getting him another if he still wants one.

hes trying to scare u, scare him back, next time he points the gun at u pretend he actually shot u and see how he reacts.then beat the crap out of him and tell him not to point a gun at some one unless he intends to get beat up for it.my father was a gun collector, and always told us kids never to point a gun at someone unless u intended to use it. guns are not toys.even though BB guns are marketed as toys they are not.they can cause real injury's.

Because he's an 11 year old and you're reacting to it. It gives him a sense of power. You need to discuss it with your parents. He's obviously not mature enough to have a BB gun.

I agree with the first answer - hide his BB gun. He could shoot at you accidentally. And yes I think it shows deep resentment, for what I don't know. You should probably bring this up to your parents, if they don't listen then to your guidance counselor at school. Good luck.

Have your parents invite the police over to your house to have a talk with him. Then break that BB gun in half and throw it in the garbage can. Hes gonna either accidentally blind you or worse.

This child has serious issues. He needs to have all firearms taken from him until he learns the proper respect for life & the firearms.
Which may be never. I think a good boot camp is in order for him.
You should hide his ammo, & try to convince your parents that he is pointing a gun at you maliciously. Of course, they let him have it, so you may be yelling down a well...but good luck anyway...

He's trying to scare you. You need toeriously tell your parents. When I was young I had a friend who almost lost an eye from doing this. A bb literally lodged itself in her face just a hair away from her eye.
If her does hit you on accident one day, your parents could get in serious trouble.

I think that gun needs to be taken away from him. He should not be pointing it at anyone for any reason. The coping strategy would be to take it

Here's something I would do, you could get in trouble but the feeling of you having that moment of power of him would be worth it, I would take the gun and shoot it at him. That's my opinion but if he wanna shoot at you then maybe he wants to be shot back.
