I know my little brother has been through alot with these kids that live here are pushing him around and saying some mean stuff to him and everything, he has been through alot, but today he never smiled at all. He use to always smile sometimes. We've been trying to figure out ways to get him to smile. We ran out of ideas. What can we do to get him to smile again? He said to me earlier that he forgot how to smile. That's heartbreaking to hear a 6 year old say that. What do I do?

You seem genuenly concerned for your brother. Tell those kids parents and if nothing happens, go up to the kids and tell them to cut it out! They are just some dumb kids. It sounds like you live in an apartment building. If you do, talk to the super and tell him/her what's going on.
If that doesn't work, just have some one on one fun time, like, playing whatever games he wants to play or making a craft, or cooking something. My younger brother is ten and he likes to play video games and Uno. Start out with just a round of fish or something.
Hope your brother starts smiling again.

My sisters would laugh at the most stupid things so try to be or act stupid. Be goffy and silly. Remember anything that would make him laugh before and then take it to the next level. Try to remember any funny lines you watched from a movie and repeat it like in "Finding Nemo", Dory said, "Hey Mr. Grumpy Gills." My friend laughs everytime I say that and she is an actor that learned how to keep a sad face. Also, start a tickle fight. Tickle him in the places that he is most ticklish. I don't know if any of these tricks would work but you never know. I hope you get him to smile.

First of all I would tell an adult you can trust about what is happenning if you can't or don't want to talk to your parents. I know that no one wants to be a squealer, but you can't let the bigger kids or ANY body get away with stuff. They will just keep on till he breaks down mentally, which it sounds like is allready starting. YOUR brother needs help. I'm glad you are iunterested in him. That's a plus for him. I hate to condone fighting, but I would NEVER fault my child for standing up for themselves. I raised my daughter that way. Sometimes ya just gotta fight when you're a man. Maybe your brother can get enrolled in karate class, then maybe when they learn this, they will shy away for fear of getting the crap kicked outta them. Just leet your brother know you are there for him and want to help in any way you can.

B the bigger brother! go up to those kids that are messin wit him and give them a peice of ur mind! Try to make them fear you so dat they also fear ur lil bro. Take ur brother to somewhere fun, show him a good time, teach him how to smile! Play with him. he's ur little brother have sometime for him, make time 4 him! Show him that someone really does care. Little kids just need someone to look up to! be that person he loks up to. Once he know that someone cares he'll care and he will smile eventually! =]] Hope this helped=]]

i think you should take him out somewhere and do it a lot take him to the park play cricket with him, everything you do make sure you take him with you.
stick up for him go to these kids and warn them if they keep it up they have you to deal with.
he probably feels lonely in this big world and if you could be his friend then it wont be so hard for him to take. he is crushed right now and hes weak he needs you to support him in all aspects of life.
i know i was bullied all my childhood until year 6 i forgot how to smile too, but if i had someone there for me it would have made life a lot easier.

I am so sorry.
The best is to teach him how to ignore, and how special he is.
And, importantly, let him learn something he likes to do.
For example, like soccer. Sports really help anyone who feel
a bit blue and dejected a bit. He would be better if someone
could actually play some sports with him. If he gets good at
something, he would gain confidence, and be happier.
Wish your little brother the best.

Don't do anything special to try and get him to smile (amusement park or whatever)
address the issues that are at hand.
