sometimes he does good, but it's like my whole family is involved because he yells at my mom and dad, they tell him that it's unacceptable to speak that way and then he says all these scary things out of anger, he was baptized almost 2 years ago, I've been praying to God that He will help us, has this happened to anyone else, and if so how did you deal with it and how did it stop?

Oh, its really hard to be a kid these days!That is why schools now have child psycologists and child developement specialist readily available. THere are so many pressures and some kids handle it better than others. But the key is to talk about it. Take advantage of the counselors and peer groups that the school has to offer and if need be- suggest taking him to a counselor outside of school. Its important to find out the root of the problem and parents are not always the easiest people to talk to.
I hope this is somewhat of a help

Parents have a lot of power and control over minors, he does this because they allow it. They can shut this down in a number of ways. But if there's something else going on behind the scenes, they need to find out and deal with the root of the problem. Drugs? Suicidal thoughts? Depression? Grief? Get professional help if needed.

I would talk to your youth leader for help, and definatly keep on praying! prayer can do miracles, sit down and talk with him and tell him how much you care, it seems to me that he might be a new christian, am i right? It is hard to keep up with school and live a christian life, i know for a fact. Tell him to try praying, Jesus says whoever needs rest just come to me and i will give it to him. Help him and encourage him, you can't make him stop, you can only encourage him and help, but leave the rest to god. Go to www.niv.org and look up some verses on this subject and it will help because you can prove it to him. I will ask my youth leader some verses and try to get back to you so just email me at mae2010g@yahoo.com if you have anymore questions. May God bless you and your brother, and your family.

P.S. - i do not suggest to convert him. he is in a difficult time and doesn't need to be confused right now, it is a hard enough time already.

You have to locate the problem a nd treat that, not just the symptoms.
You don't say how old your brother is. Is he old enough to listen to reason? To see that his behavior is unacceptable?
I would contact a child psychologist and explain what is going on to them. Maybe they can help.
I'm sorry, but God alone isn't going to fix this for you.

He needs some spiritual counseling and even some family counsel would be helpful. He seems to be going through some rebellion and issues which is fairly common in teens. My sons used to say horrible things to me to, out of anger. I went to counseling and dragged them with me sometimes. Now they're grown up in their 20's and 30's and have respect.

It happened in our family. I wish we had got some councilling. There is a communication problem, he is not feeling listened to (doesn't mean he's not listened to, but that is his perception). A bit of counselling as a family could be really helpful)

Forget about all the prayers. Your parents need to get your brother in to see a counseler as soon as they can. He definately has some hostility issues. I'm normally not one to suggest a head doc, but it worked wonders for my daughter.

He was baptised you say, well he now is at a stage here he has to start submitting to God instead of his own will.

Inform him (and your parents) that God commands his followers to kill those who curse their mother and father. Why haven't you obeyed God? No wonder he doesn't help you.
Leviticus 20:9 "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him."
