How do I deal with annoying little brother?

Question

I know that everyone has probably heard this a million times, but although it seems impossible, I think I actually have the worst possible little brother. I'm seventeen, and he's twelve.... and he treats me as if my opinion is completley invalid in any situation. I have honors grades, and he's not very smart, and he calls me a nerd. I have only a few friends, and he supposedley has many and he never shuts up about that. No matter how many times I try to emotionally grind him into the dust like the insignificant little worm he is (lol!!), he just calls me a nerd, or says i have no friends or something stupid like that. If i try to smack him, he goes to my parents and I get in trouble, so i've given up on that. My parents NEVER take me seriously because he's just the innocent little kid and i'm the older, stronger brother who SHOULD be above this crap, but somehow, I'm not. I'm clueless as to what to do about him. My parents actually threatened anger management before, please help!!

One more thing, even though I'm almost out of high school, i'm going to a university that i can take a bus from home to get to, so I'm not going to get away from him any time soon.

Some of the advice here is pretty good, (and fast too!) I'll try shunning him, but i'll start it slow and gradually build it up so he doesnt get suspicios and mock my attempts. I can also try other things, for example, he has a birthday party in 4 days, and wants to have his friends play on the xbox 360... which i paid over half for with money i got from a summer job. I'll take away the controller or something and shove the fact i have majority ownership in my parents face when they come to get it, that should piss him off a little >:D

Answer 1

Why not suggest anger management for HIM? He probably has resentment because you're older and you're smarter. You said you're very smart, I'll bet dollars to donughts he resents that! My brother's getting A's and B's and I'm getting C's and B's. Nevermind that my brother is failing, he is still my parent's little angel. I hate my brother, and I can sure sympathize with you! Anyway, the best thing to do is just not listen to him. Talk to him when he wants attention. You never know when someone's trying to get attention. That's all a lot of bullys want, is love and attention.

Good luck.

Answer 2

once you're playing baseball which include your brother and his acquaintances and he tries appearing all massive and undesirable purely tell him that he needs to end exhibiting off for his acquaintances and tell him that if he maintains to act like that then he's longer allowed to play baseball with you. I keep in mind that your little brother will be annoying yet there are purely some issues that you cant administration. a sturdy way of coping with your brother is purely to stroll away and breathe. Take 10 deep breathes from time to time that works. sturdy success.

Answer 3

Ok, my brother and i are 5 years apart and I know how it is! We have gotten in very brutal fights before, but what stopped his annoying behavior is when i actually started ignoring it. I know, easier said than done, but I basically just answered all of his taunts with, " I guess you are entitled to your opinion", and smiled and turned away. Drove him crazy. He may just be jealous that you are doing better in school than him. And he may just be in that immature stage. Next time he is on your case, tell him he is entitled to his opinion, and that your opinion of his is that he needs to grow up. Younger siblings hate feeling like a "kid", and by telling him to grow up, you are giving him the idea that you are more mature that he is. Good Luck. It'll be better when you are older!

Answer 4

Shun him. Ignore him. He is just jealous of your supreme intelligent. Since you are 17 years old, one more year to put up with his crap, you will be out of the house to college or your own place. Tell him that you are proud of being yourself as nerd and having few friends who are equal intelligent as you are.

Answer 5

He will grow up and out of it. Right now he is being a little punk and at that age they are ALL little snots. Bide your time, you are almost done with school and will be gone from home soon and you will not have to deal with him.
Minimal attention to him and always with respect. When your parents are gone, all you will have from your past is each other.
Trust me. BTDT.
