It sounds like he's a little controlling. For one, it's your myspace, put whatever you want on it. If he doesn't want to talk to you because of Audrey Hepburn, then he's not a very good brother. Maybe once he decides to grow up a little, he'll come around. Be and promote whatever makes YOU feel good. You can only make you happy, not someone else. Good Luck!

Ah, don't you just love the 21st century. Get married (optional); have kids; get divorced/separated; get married again and cram all the kids together like The Brady Bunch; get divorced again. American values are great!
Honestly, I feel bad for you. These situations are more and more common nowadays. The issues are serious, and you will just have to cope as best you can. Merging two families into one is difficult if not impossible. Good luck.

It is written in the handbook for brothers, "You shall be as nasty as possible to any living sibling. It is your responsibility to cause as much grief as possible in the shortest amount of time."
Well, there you have it. It has been carved in stone for eons.
On the other hand, in the handbook for sisters it say, "Ignoring the annoyances of siblings is the surest way to squelch any further efforts on the part of said siblings."
Of course, this is no easy task, but I'm sure if you stick with it you will find some relief.

How old is he? If he's younger , he's probably just trying to get attention from you. If he's older, he might be upset that you get to be the baby now and not him. My mom's been married a few times, so i understand how some step-siblings can be. You might just need to try letting it roll off your shoulders and once they see that it doesn't bother you anymore they will probably stop doing it. Maybe his gf wants the attention that he's giving you.

Brothers can be irritating. Even step brothers. It sounds like he is trying to be superior to you. He may not be happy with something in his life. Everytime my brother has problems at home or gets jealous of something I have, he starts acting like a butt. Sunday, he started trying to make my mom mad at me over a stupid cell phone. Keep in mind, I am 24 and he is 28. We don't live with our parents, we don't even live in the same state. Get used to it. It never ends. Siblings will always fight. Tell him that you hate that he has to be so rude to you and you love him and forgive him. That makes them feel bad. Merry Christmas.

Just ask him what his problem is. I don't have a step brother but I do have two brothers, one of whom is a very big smart butt!! When he is being a jerk to me I just tell him that he's really making me mad and kinda hurting my feelings and tell him he's being a jerk. He usually laughs and goes "Wow, you are such a baby, I am not a jerk" and then he quits being mean for a while LoL Just tell him he's being a jerk and it's hurting your feelings, trust me it really does get to them and he'll start being nicer! Good luck

sorry kiddo, but you are off base here. Your brother cannot do a thing to you other than what you ALLOW him to do. YOU let him push your emotional buttons. You need to grow up and stop reacting to his nonsense. Just realize he is entitled to his opinion, but that doesn't mean you have to agree with him or buy into them. Once he stops getting all that emotional feedback from you, he will stop trying to push your buttons.

Sounds like he's treating you like a real sister.
It's much better to have scraps with your siblings than to be ignored by them. Keep in mind that brothers are always dumb when you are young. As you get older, they'll get smarter. I had four of them.....

He is teasing you and you are reacting negatively... and it's just what he wants you to do!
maybe you could simply agree with him from now on, turn around and do your own thing, as if you are unaffected.... he will probably stop trying to push your buttons when he sees he can't rile you up anymore.
take care and it will work out eventually -- some kids like to torment.

of course since its your step brother he may not warm up to you so easy...he probably misses the way things in his family used to be.
how old is he? he may be going through puberty and this is normal behavior to have attitude problems off and on.
just give it some time, things will work out.
