Hun, I know it bothers you that your brother is acting this way, but you really can't do anything except do what is good for you. Your parents just may not know how to deal with him, but you can be good to them and just let him be. You're not responsible for your brother's behavior. Hang in there!

Your parents need to take some time out and get a handle on this whole matter. They only have so many years before he is 18... that is the amount of time they have to teach him all the stuff he needs to get along in the world... like morals, ethics, responsibility and respect.
The parents who leave the parenting to the school system and the kids' peers, will indeed reap what they sow. They will spend more time hauling the kids to rehab clinics, bailing them out of jail, and probably supporting the little rats into their 30s.
Your parents are allowing faceless strangers on MySpace influence their boy. That needs to end. They need to lock out your brother's computer and put a second computer in their own bedroom so they can monitor exactly what is going on on your brother's computer.
If that means instilling respect by means of a well aimed slap on the face or a doubled-up belt across his behind, then so be it. If your parents have to take away prized possessions (computer, I-pod, video game), or ground them, that is fine. They have to figure out what will get the point across. Try to keep in mind this phrase: "what would have gotten through to me at this age?"
Your parents need to reestablish dominance and control as parents. Please show this to them.
