My little brother who is 10 years old tends to become violent when he is furious or offended. Everytime he does, he cries and screams and wails, and he is always in the need to find something to destroy, or some way to hurt the person who made him angry. Is there a syndrome for that? How to I deal with this problem? I'm only 14 years old.
When I get angry, I never use violence unless violence is used upon me. I only use my voice.

I have the exact same problem with my little brother. Yes, there are syndromes for this: ADHD, mild Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder could all be a cause of this problem. The only way to really deal with the problem is to be patient and calm. Or put him in a secluded area where there is literally nothing he can break and nothing to do so he can think about his actions and then ask him what he could do so that it doesn't happen again next time. What I do with my brother Vince is make him get on his knees in front of the washer and dryer in the laundry room for ten minutes, and think about what he's done. Since there's nothing in there for him to do, it's more of a punishment than sending him to his room where he's got everything under the sun to play with and break. I know it's hard having a sibling, I'm thirteen and I pretty much raised Vince. But good luck. It's not impossible to control your brother, you just need some patience.

When I was your brothers age, I had angry issues. I also have 2 older sisters who bore the brunt of my anger. My parents basically sat me down and reasoned that as I grew up, I was becoming much stronger than my sisters. I was able to control my anger somehow out of a want to not harm my sisters.
All situations are different, I can't really explain how I managed my anger. I'm sure God had a hand in it.
Go to your parents, and explain to them your concerns for your brother.

You shouldn't have to deal with that. Its your parents responsibilty. The only thing you can do is be a good role model for him. Do nice things for him and try him to show him the way to a better life....hes still young and hopefully he'll find a better way to vent his frustration and anger...like in sports or music or some kind of hobby.

He may have oppositional defiant disorder. Beg your parents to get him help NOW, before he harms someone. Tell them it will only get worse (can you imagine what he'll be like as a teen?)

Your brother needs help and if your parents can't see that, then maybe you have to be the one to put in their face. Good luck.
