Tell him his 'teasing' hurts your feelings and you'd like him to stop.

even though you have probably been told this a million times and don't want to believe it you will be great friends in a few years.
Just ignore him he's your brother hes meant to make you feel bad, at least for now, that's what they do.
Trust me since I was like 6 until I was like 15 my brother and I HATED each other you couldn't leave us in a room alone for more then 10 seconds with out one of us hitting, shouting or ruining something of the others seriously and that's when he was around he didn't like to spend much time with me.
He went to boarding school for two years when I was 13 and when he was home on weekends or holidays it was the same old story of us fighting except worse.
The number of thing he did over the years, typical firework attached to my favorite barbie, cutting up my dolls faces, a few small bruises and cuts, insulting me so much I would cry.
Over the last two years we have never been closer really I can't remember the last time we fought and we are always spending time together.

In all honesty, if he thinks he knows more than you then i would show him up... Spit out some algebra problems and see what he says then... If he thinks he knows everything about guns the look up some details on how they work and the parts and ask him ?s on those. See what he does then.. But what i would do next time he was up in my face was just give him a light mack across the face, just enough to shock him then be stern and tell him that he needs to straighten up and stop being such a know it all when he actually doesnt know alot.. And tell him to start respecting you all. He feels like he is the boss and he needs to know he isnt. Also, i have learned from psychology, that maybe if you just completely ignore him as if he wasnt even there he could realize that you dont care what you think and might not feel so in control. He also might get lonely and start being nice in order to get some responce or attention.

My bother was mean when I was young and it was tough to be around. My mother babied him and he got away with lots. Most of the time I just would try to ignore him and bush off what he said to me. It wasn't easy, as there wasn't much I could do.
However, when you get older it will get better. You will have your own life and not be around him so much. My suggestion is to stay busy with your own life and focus on what you do best, find your passion and pursue it. You also might want to talk to your parents in a calm manner and just try and give the info and not get emotional about it. Hopefully they will listen and be some help to you.
Good Luck.

Yes I understand what you are going through, because I once was in your position.
When I was little probably around 7 years old or something, he was pretty harsh towards me. He barely spoke to me. He was rude, and selfish, and cared about only himself. Even my younger brother and mother noticed too.
But as time took its course, our relationship between eachother were traveling. His attitude started decreasing, and everything.
But I noticed that affter I told him how I felt. he was in High school then, and I emailed him, and told him how I didn't appreciate his cruel actions that he's gave me. I told him I loved him, but u have to treat me how u want to be treated also. After that, we've been pretty cool with each other. Well, I hope my experience with my brother helped u with your?

I used to be mean to my sisters when I joked with them, and until they told me what you just said, I kept being mean. After we sat down and talked, I understood what she meant. boys are born more agressive and sometimes they can be mean by not exactly meaning anything by it. Tell him how you feel and if he doesn't stop just really try to stay away from you, maybe he will get the hint.

Tell your brother how you really feel, and let him know some things that he does makes you feel uncomfortable, stand up for yourself and don't let people like that ruin your life, you only live once don't be afraid to live.

Is this an older brother? Tell him that hurts your feelings. Perhaps tell how you look up to him, and wish he would be your protector in this world, not what he is now.

What I do is when he is in the middle of something important or very busy, just bother him the same way he does to you. Then just say how do you like it.
