You should be proud. He bothers you because he wants to be like you and he wants to make you proud of him. He wants your attention because he loves you very much. I bet he is a younger brother and as such he probably does not know any other way to get attention from you. Do you make time for him? Do you do things for him? With him? Do you like him at all, which is not the same question as Do you love him.
Take the time to give him some time love and attention and I guarentee that he will "bother" you a lot less. Now take a moment to think what you would really feel if something happened and he was not there to bother you anymore. Now think about what kind of relationship you would like to have with him when you are both grown men and the age difference between you no longer maters. Do you want a good friend who will always have your back or do you want a relative that you have lost all contact with and only see at funerals. You will want that little brother to come "bother" you one day, one day you will give anything to have your little brother's hero worship to lighten your load. How you treat him now is how it is going to be between you as you grow up. You will not always be together as you are now and if there are not bonds of love you will loose your brother at the very time you need him the most. Who knows, he might just invent something to make him rich and you will want him to like you then right? That all happens now. So many wish and pray for someone that looks up to them so much. Count your blessings and hug your brother.

Your brother simply wants attention.
You are going to have to bite the bullet and take a little time out to play with him... just to wear him out. Either that or drag him into what you are doing... put him to work.
Hopefully some of this requirement for your attention will abate when school starts and he can find some friends his own age.

He is trying to get your attention. So in some way you need to give it to him. For example take him out and throw the football for a while. And then try and do whatever it is you want to be left alone to do. I bet you that you will have your peace.

he wants your atention, either that or he looks up to you, even though it may not seem like it a lot of siblings do that. All you need to do is give him som attention once in a while and be kind to him and he'll leave you alone

Unfortunately, that is just a part of being a sibling. Try completely ignoring him. Don't look at him, speak to him, acknowledge him in any way. When he sees that his annoying habits just don't bother you, he'll quit trying to bug you. Just grin and bear it.

He's trying to get attention from you..You know, he wants you to ACKNOWLEDGE him. Why not do something with him? Play catch or go bowling or something..Spending time with family members isnt a crime.

Every so often spend some time doing whatever he wants with him. Then, if he wants your attention, you can tell him when you will play with him again.

He only wants your attention, there's nothing wrong with giving it to him.
Someday, he might not be there to annoy you, and you'll miss him.
