i am asking again to get a better answer. weeks ago i got in trouble for lying to my babysitter and smarting off. she told on me and the next morning my parents and they told me i had to sit in the corner for an hour in the living room and face the wall. this is like time out. i think it is babyish but my parents use it me my brother and sister. my brother and sister are 9 and 7 and i'm 13.
about 20 minutes later my brother wakes up and comes down stairs and starts borthing me and stuff so i got up and pushed him down into a table and said something bad to him. he tells my parents and my dad comes in and tells me i am getting a spanking. my brother is standing in the hall and i see him laughing. i argued with my dad and tell him it is not my fault but he didn't listen he carried me into my room, closed the door and spanked me and nothing happened to my brother at all. what can i do to get my brother in trouble?

Collin i like your answer that is a good idea. my parents aren't home yet and my brother and sister are both outside so i am going to trash some of my brothers things with a pink marker. we share a room so it will be easy. you are smart.

The pink marker idea is not a good idea. They will most likely figure it out. If you want to be treated more maturely as you say in your other postings, you need to start here and let it go.
The next time your brother bothers you and you don't want to get spanked, call for your mom or dad and tell them instead of dealing with it yourself and you will not get in trouble.
Stop and think, that is the more mature way to handle this.
please don't mark his stuff, it's wrong and you will get in more trouble!
Take care

Okay, giving a thirteen year old a time out in the corner, is kind of babyish.
However, lying, smarting off, and wanting to get your brother back IS babyish in itself. I suggest you work things out with your brother in a better way. If you do something to harm him or whatever, that will just get you in even more trouble.

nothing. looks like this all started because you lied. and if you think what your parents did is babyish, so is getting back at your brother. if you have an issue with him, go to him like a 13 yr. old and don't do the baby thing of getting back at him.

i'm your age, and having two older brothers i am in your brother's position. i think that first of all, try talking to your parents about this "sitting in the corner." you're a teenager and you shouldn't be treated like this, although that's your business. second, to get back at your brother do something to him and make him think it was your sister who did it, i.e. write in PINK on all his stuff, and when it comes up, play it cool, watch TV or something, read a book maybe. don't even mention what you did, and do it when you're home alone, if you're ever home alone.

sorry, hon, but lying and smarting off is babyish too, and if your parents dump the timeout thing they'll likely go to grounding you instead which would be worse. getting back at your brother is also babyish and not a good way to get your parents to treat you like an adult. if you want to be treated like an adult, you have to act like one. i mean like a mature responsible one!

Any chance you can catch your parents in a good mood and ask to speak with them alone? Then talk with them like the young adult you are and share your concerns and feelings. But instead of saying things like, "It's all his fault" maybe you could say something like, "I'm feeling really frustrated." Ask them to help you work out a solution.

Nothing. Control your temper and ignore him and he'll get himself into trouble. The only reason he pesters you is because you let it bother you!

I don't know what you could do to get your brother in trouble; sounds like they're showing favoritism to your brother, since they don't even listen to what you say.

I can see you're working real hard on that responsibility and maturity thing, huh? Dude, why are you sabotaging yourself?
