My older brother said he was going to ground me from computer if I don't do good in school. But he didn't do well in school either. Is this a good reason for being grounded?

No...it isn't. And it should be parents, NOT older siblings, who set rules

It soundz like your older brother is more or less raising you as you would not worry about what he says if your parents were around and i agree with him/older brother just because he didn't do well doesn't mean you can get away with it too cos in the long run he's only looking out for your future and mayb if some1 was around caring what he did while he was at school he would have done betta. So Trust me listern to your brother......

i'm not in any respect formally grounded. after I talk again (thats the important reason i'm punished) I frequently ought to do more suitable chores. yet because it extremely upsets my mom, it places her in a very undesirable mind-set and its just about like being grounded because if I ask to flow someplace she will be able to decline basically because she remains mad. So in a fashion i'm grounded yet my father and mother not in any respect say "you're grounded for 2 weeks" Its frequently straightforward even notwithstanding I not in any respect imagine that is straightforward on the time.

How much older is your brother? If he's less than 10 years older, he shouldn't have the authority to ground you.

Are you using his computer? If you are then yes. It sounds like he wants what is best for you. If you aren't doing well in school you shouldn't be spending so much time on the computer unless you were doing school work. If I were your dad I would ground you.

well ur older brother isnt the boss of u. but u should do better in skool though. grades r important. both of u should sit down and just talk it out. personally i think its a good reason to be grounded (how bad are ur grades?)

I don't agree that it's a good reason for being grounded, but you should at least try your hardest in school. If he sees that you're trying maybe he'll cut you some slack.

yes, a person can screw up but regret it , or maybe he knows you are smarter than him. either way its because he cares and wants you to suceed, so before you lose it just cut the net time and bring up the grades

Your parents should be the ones setting the rules.
