My brother is eight years old, and the most annoying person I have met in my life. He is spoiled, has full-on tantrums when he doesn't get his way, spends at least three hours on his computer daily, playing runescape, and claps and whistles and screams some song (which he doesn't even get the tune right) randomly throughout the day continually. He refuses to SHUT THE HELL UP, no matter how much we ask him nicely, plead, beg and eventually yell at him to. I am getting sick and very tired, because every night he screams at my parents for at least half an hour, and I am in the room next to him, so I usually don't get as much sleep as I should. I am not exaggerating to make him sound worse, everything I just wrote is true. He starts a fight in with me in front of his friends (just to show off) and I refuse to do anything at first, and sit there as he starts tearing at my haor and scratching me, trying to get a reaction. And my father just doesn't punish him.

Or, if my father does punish him, he forgets and allows my brother to do whatever he wants. Whenever my mother (who's home more than my father) punishs him, he screams bloody murder and refuses to accept the punishment. The screams eventually turn to sobs, whatever the punishment is (he is never actually hurt, though;We quit the "paddle" three years ago). I just can't freakin' stand it anymore! Any ideas on how to make him behave better, or just SHUT UP?!?!?!?

Tell him you will get him 'fixed' if he doesn't behave.

you know what I think you should do, dude?
i think you should totally ignore him
your whole family
just for a day
let him get in all the trouble he wants
(you guys have to pay SOME price to get him to behave)
and when he lands himself in some serious trouble, you ought to let him get scared for a bit. He will get tired eventually.Let him know you're tired of him, and you no longer wanna care about him.
But save him before he gets real hurt!
If he does things like trash the house or invite parties over, kick him out of the house. But have someone follow him.
OR
you can tied him to a chair and put him in an empty room. And leave him there all day. and say how you guys are tired of him, and it'll be better if he wasn't around.
of course, you dont have to do that
those choices MIGHT bring consequences
like the kid might turn emo and hate everything
or he might serious get hurt
ur choice what you do

wow he sounds just like my little brother. thankfully, we are adults now, and it gets a little better every year. i recently wrote a paper where i diagnosed my brother according the the dsm - IV (what psychologists use) and figured that he had ADHD pretty bad. i am not into diagnosing so much, but i'll tell you what, that boy really needed some therapy and he never got it. i am sure he is acting the way he does because in some way it makes sense to him. he is getting something he wants/needs out of it. a family therapist might help you guys figure out what it is he is trying to achieve by acting like a pain in the butt. tell your folks that you want family therapy for your next birthday.
he really sounds like my brother. i feel sorry for you, because i know how powerless you must feel. i had to bury a lot of anger just to survive, because there was no talking sense to him. and my parents didnt punish him enough either, but i think it was because they just didnt know how.
one last idea? bury a video camera in the room when you think he will start acting like a jerk. it might do him and your whole family some good to really be able to witness his innapropriate behavior.
good luck!!!
(it will very likely get better - but it may take a long time. my bro didnt start calming down till his early 20's. ugh)

Dude... now that their album has been out for a month and the Camp Rock craze has blown over, there have not been that many questions about them. truly some the questions with their call in it those days are from haters. no longer close to as many Jonas Brothers questions were requested (by technique of the followers) as say... 6 weeks in the past. 4 weeks in the past. 3 weeks in the past. in basic terms relax...

Tell your parents to do something about him or you will turn them in for neglect. No child his age should be acting like him. It is out of neglect that he does. Parents are the ones who must maintain control of their 8 yr old child. If they can not control them at this age the child is in need of a behavior specialist. My sister takes her 7 yr old son to one. He acts just as you describe your brother to be. My nephew has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder with rages. Your brother may be suffering from the same or something intirely different. Ask his teachers how he acts for them. If he acts out with them perhaps you can get the to write to your parents as well. I know that when my neices threatened to call CPS on their parents for not keeping him under control my sis took her son to the behavior specialist. Now he has medication to keep his temper undercontrol. Good luck

YOU slap the hell outta him. Hes going to grow up and think that he can treat anybody any old kind of way. But if you knock the hell outta him a couple of times a day, he'll know to calm down.

sounds to me like this kid is the boss not the parents and that's not a good thing they need to show him who's in charge now if they don't who knows what could happen in the future to many parents do this and its wrong the kids are not in charge and these parents need to take control before its to damn late kids like this wind up in jail or dead at an early age

He just wants attention probably.
the right thing to do is to spend time with him.
the wrong but easiest thing to do is beat the hell out of him. After that he will fear you and listen to what you say in the future.
its wrong but it sure is effective.

Set aside some time to spend just with you. He is needing attention. If that doesn't work then try ignoring his fits.

if your parents refuse to teach him how to act he will eventually pay the price.
but for you, the best thing to do is stay out of his way. if your parents want to know why you refuse to be in the room with him tell them.
