So yeah, is this unusual? Hes 4 years younger than me. It seems everything he does is just to annoy me and my family. Im not the only one to notice this. He wont take any responsibility for anything. Also i swear he has an eating problem. For example about a week ago, we were told to take 3 sausages each for dinner, along with other things.... But then he goes and thinks he has the right to take 7. This is the sort of thing which gets to me. Then after he seems to think its total normal and ok to do this sort of thing. I mean, i do a lot of weight lifting, im a very active person, and so when i dont get meals etc, it really does have an effect on me. But my brother is, well, not realy in shape tbh. Not fat, but not of a good size... And he calls me a scoff!

I could go on and on about the day to day annoyances i get from him.. like everytime he watches something on tv, he hasss to turn it right up, so i cant hear music/games over it, when i have headphones on on full blast!

Has anyone else had a similar experience with a younger sibling? Is it normal? I have to sit around and just cope with it, I sometimes feel like hitting him, but i manage to resist just.

Sounds like he's screaming for attention. Possibly due to many reasons, one of which could be bullied at school and for that, has built up anger that needs to be released in various seemingly random situations. Kids usually don't act like that for no reason, to me it sounds like "supressed" anger that's leaking out. It has to come from somewhere, though I'm no internet shrink. Well, I am, but not a licensed one.

You realise all brothers are like this? I couldn't speculate on the eating thing, all brothers have a way of getting on each others nerves seemingly without trying.

I think the problem was that from General Reed's experience, his brother is trying.

Most likely, your little brother is posting something along the likes of "I find my big brother sooooooooooo annoying!" complaining about you being insensitive, bossy and obnoxious. Stuff like this goes two ways.

Although Grandma has a point - it has to come from somewhere.

This was when I was 13 I am a lot older now and would ever do this again.

I use to find my sister annoying mainly as she was in to dolls and little girls stuff and I was a teen. Hanging with your sis was not cool and tea party was something you don't do.

So I was pissed off with her as she managed some how to break my guitar. By break I mean the neck off gutair. It was less than a week old and took me over six months to save for. (Looking back yes it was crap but it was mine.)

I when told to take her to the park the same day I was not happy at all. In the park there this ditch and a wall which you at her age she could not get out of.

Yes I left her in a ditch. For three hours I was free of my sister I got hungy and went home. Mum ordered me to tell her where she was. I did lie at first "I did not know" then "I sold her". My Mum throw something at me and I had to tell. The knifes where to close.

She was cold, hungery and scared by the time she came back with her. I did get grounded for a week but the bonus was my sis did not talk to me for three months. Which was Bliss back then.

Not my finest teen monment by far. What ever your brother or sister does remember they are the family you can't get rid of. Unlike wifes girlfriends, husbands and boyfriends.

I'll add something later on.

Thanks people XD

Hmm i think you guys may be right about the built up anger/bulliing thing, because he used to get bullied at school, but he keeps saying he dosent anymore. So im really confused.

Quote: "And i hate rap/hip hop for life but ah well"

Lol same here, no talent. My brother likes to beatbox, which i find very annoying too.

Also another thing he tends to do, is he comes into my room, and just starts to go through my finely sorted games collection, even tho i ask him nicely not to. Its prob some external problem, and some plain ignorance.

I was 13 at the time and did not know better. I would not do it now. Looking back it was a bad thing to do.

At the time that guitar was like buying a car or house for me. First time I had ever saved for anything.

Would you at 13 not tried to get back at the person who broken your cd player or other important item. I think to be honest everyone has to say "yes".

Just because you can't remember the bad stuff you did.

I'll add something later on.

Yes but I wouldn't (depending on your sisters age at the time) risk her life because of materialistic stuff, and stop thinking everyone's left their sister out for dead for hours because of a guitar, it's not a "normal" thing to do, depending on how you define normal of course.

My sister is even MORE annoying

She has this amazing ability to break anything and everything that happens to be nearby.

Example 1:
Mum can't find the car keys, so my sister decides it would be a good idea to look under the breakfast bowls...
Filled with milk and cereal...

Example 2:
In a restaurant, she tries to pick up her glass, and instead creates a domino effect, knocking over every glass on the table, and spilling drink everywhere!

Example 3:
'Accidentally' closes 3 hour download on laptop, 2 hours and 59 minutes into it, and 'accidentally' deletes what has been downloaded so far.

I do now get on with my sister. When she found music and decided to like the same stuff as me. We started a band and have a lot of fun at gigs (see and playing). We do not fight as badly as we use to and have a laugh at some of the things we did.

The older both you and your siblings become it becomes easier to deal with them. (Yes she knows I will not let her touch my guitars.)

I'll add something later on.

While I was living at home I bullied the crap out of my brother because he was constantly annoying me, but with retrospect I realize he really just wanted to hang out with me, and actually looks up to me a lot. So now I try to be cool with him, kind of late though since I don't live at home anymore and hardly see him.

When you go to college/uni/whatever you will miss him after a while, no matter how annoying you think he is right now. I suggest just trying to be friends with him, don't let him get to you and if he's being particularly annoying just calmly explain why.

This begs the question (begs the question, Jericho; it's not begging the question ): how old are you? Rhetorical, of course. Judging by these kind of statements, you're probably not allowed to say.

Personal I feel it has no bearing on my intelligence. Just one of the silly things I did when I was young. It does not mean I have a mental handcap of any kind.

Can you Andrew honestly say you did not do some thing stupid when you where young. Everybody has done some stupid things young and old.

Intelligence, wisdom, and maturity -- all are very different things (though closely related).

As far as i know age telling is against the aup. But i will say im over 18, not by much tho. Why is it immature to sort games? lol. Idk maybe it is something i should grow out of, but the point is that if i ask him nicely not to, he should at least ask why not, and not just completely ignore me and continue, causing no other solution but physical.

Quote: " I suggest just trying to be friends with him, don't let him get to you and if he's being particularly annoying just calmly explain why. "

Ive tried all this sort of thing, and it does work for a while, but then he realises what im doing, and everything goes back to normal.

At 13 I can safely say no one has wisdom or maturity. I think Ben and Andrew missed the bit where I did say I was 13 at the time.

Now that I'm older and wiser I would not just dump my sister into a place thats not safe.

When I was 13 I would NEVER in a million years have left a little a girl in a ditch that she couldn't get out of. Even if she was my little sister. That sounds very cruel and twisted. With all the perverts, child molesters, etc. out there leaving a little girl in a park alone seems extremely irresponsible.

Sounds to me like you need to take some responsibility as an older brother and try and improve his situation.

It sounds to me like he's actually asking for help, like trying to build up to 1 massive argument where he can actually say what the problem is.

You say that you work out, so why not ask him if he wants to lift some weights with you. If you think he's being bullied you should look into it, because parents and teachers are absolutely useless at dealing with that. Walk him to school one day just so people know the kid has a big brother watching out for him.

If you don't make the most of being an older sibling, then the only thing you'll feel about it in 10 years time is regret - your little brother is your most loyal and genuine friend waiting to happen.

Would I do it now feck NO I was a kid. Kids do be right feckers at times.

Look at it in the eyes of a 13 year old not the eyes of an adult.

At that time you don't watch for perverts and child molesters back in those days if a kid died or a plane crashed you never took it in. I was off having fun and having a piss about. Bike riding, playing really bad music and rebelling.


So you never left your sis but I can bet you did something really bad in your teen years. We all have. Mine was minor in the frame of things. There was a kid a year above me who killed his perents a year later.

Its cool Ben. My English some times comes across the wrong way. I did not explain enough. Should put some more text to clear it up.

I was taught common sense but it doen't mean you follow it. At the time you just think it will be fine nothing will happen. However now that I'm older I know that it does happen.

I was the kid that broke every rule I could find.

Some times you have to get hurt. Just so someone can stand over you and say "told you so".

I'm not saying that I'm not at fault. I have already said it was a bad thing to do. I fail to see where it makes me a retard.

I have said it was wrong in every post.

Please read my other posts.

Personal I think everyone has done something major in their childhood. I'm ok talking about the bad stuff I've done. Everyone has done something bad to thier sibling or someone else. Its a fact of life.

It wasn't the sorting thing (or the statement about it, even). I may have misread some of what you said, but it came off immature; but I don't say that accusing. I've done similar angry at my younger brother.

I have to agree. That's a ridiculously irresponsible thing to do, even at 13.

Um, I don't know about anyone else here, but I couldn't have cared less about rebelling when I was 13. :/

So you DIDN'T sell your sister to slavery to pay for a new guitar?

FOOL!

(J/K)

I would have at least made her pay it back later in life, although I do think a ditch is going a bit too far.

Should I continue coding or focus on my art? Vote here:

God did everyone here never do something bad when they where teens. Was I in the only town where the perents let their kids out without a low jack?

At least I'm brave enough to write about my mistakes. I bet if you put your minds up to it you can find one mistake just as bad if not worst than mine be childhood to now.

Yes I was angry, irresponsible and stupid I knew it the monment I left. Would I do it now hell no. I'm older and more responsible.

P.s If the op reads this do not do what I did. It does not end well.

I'll add something later on.

I've done stupid things. But I was 13 very recently, so I remember what I was thinking when I was 13. I was more concerned about getting home in time to watch "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" than I was about "rebelling". And I definitely had enough common sense to know not to leave my little brother alone at a park for 3 hours in a ditch that he couldn't climb out of.

I have never considered myself immature. I never looked back at myself and said "I was jut a kid". I feel like I had the same mentality when I was 13 as I have now (not to say I have the mentality of a 13 year old, but to say that I was very mature back then).

And honest to God, I can't think of a single mistake I did that compares to that. Jeez.

And honest to God, I can't think of a single mistake I did that compares to that. Jeez. "


Same here. I've had adults telling me that my whole life, that I'm one of the only mature ones in a group. :/

When I was thirteen I didn't even consider such cruel things. Bad music and rebelling? Come on, what kind of a thirteen year old were you?

It wouldn't be quite so bad (still terrible), except it sounded like you were gloating over what you did.

I hate to say it, but leaving your sister in a ditch isn't minor in any respect. I hate to beat a dead horse, but even at 13 basic morals and principals should have kicked in and said...oh hey...that's not particularly safe...and definitely should have kicked in after the fact when confronted by your mother. Even when I was 8 I wouldn't have imagined doing anything like that. Now, if you had said, I regret it, it was a very stupid, irresponsible thing to do, you wouldn't be getting [so many of] these comments. But you continue to play it off as though it's a minor offense you committed in your youth. A minor offense would be something to the effect of...I skipped school and went and did [insert random illegal, stupid act here], not leaving your sister in a ditch for a few hours. Or even something you did that put you in danger, but not something that would put an innocent child at risk.

[On-Topic]

As said before, being cool with your little brother, no matter how annoying he gets, would be a good idea. Be the older, more mature example, even if he's being so annoying you want to rip him a new one, stay calm, talk through it, and show him there are other ways of expressing yourself or your feelings. The idea of taking him with you to lift weights, or taking him to school is also always good. When people who are causing problems are aware of an older brother who's capable of helping whoever they're causing problems with is around, they tend to back off. I can say this from experience as I had two older brothers who were absolutely great in this aspect. It also works out in the same way with me and my older sister. Although she's 2 years ahead of me in age, street smarts and people skills are somewhat lacking. I have to watch her back as my two brothers did when I needed them. And then there's also my younger sister. In the grand scheme of things, the best for you to do is just be you, be there, and try not to get too pissed off when he annoys you.

Me either, I was always the one thinking how stupid everyone else was and how they'd be regretting what they were doing in 10 years.

If I could, I would leave my brother in a ditch. He's 24 and when I say I hate him, I don't mean I hate him like a brother, I literally mean I hate him. I can't stand him and I want him out of my life. He's always arguing and insulting my family. He's disrespectful to everyone and thinks he rules the world.

Soooo, yeah. So I personally don't think Sprite is retarded because I know exactly how he feels

Oh, and everyone's little brother is annoying lol.

@Benji I was the kind of kid that did not care very much. I was agaist the world a middle figer to it all. Most of the kids in my area where like that. I'd had enough of her I never got any space.

I was not gloating the post was from my veiw as a 13 year old diaries are great.

@Insanity Complex

Major on my list taking drugs/glue, stealing cars, mugging, killing people and setting fire to buildings. Leaving my sis in a ditch was minor when other kids where doing those things.

Innocent child my sis are you on some thing? Shes only an hour younger and at the time she was doing more drugs that a high flying kite. She was not in any real danager. If she real wanted out she could have followed the ditch round to the end and got out. She could not clime the wall.

If anything it saved her from me having a go. I got the clear my head. Also If I'm allowed out on my own at 13 why the hell do I have to take her to the park she can do it herself.

Also if your angry with someone you remove yourself from them not lets go to the park. Perents should have thought the thing though.

The little sis part use to wind her up and now its stuck.

Yes she still has the dolls but doesn't ask me to any tea parties. Thank god.
She has a poor boyfriend to ask now and shes talking of getting him a dress. I know he'll never live that one down.

I'll add something later on.

The first and last aren't as bad, seeing as they don't necessarily directly put others at risk(assuming the building is empty). I guess we just have an opinion impasse here.

Try and get some time alone, away from him. I don't think you should do this every time he annoys you, definitely not but it's good to try and get some time to yourself when you can. He can't annoy you if he's not there. This will not solve your problem but time alone is as important as time together imo.

The rest of this post is just me rambling so feel free to skip it all. Cheers.

Spend a short amount of time on the internet and you'll know there are people out there who are being annoying just because they can. The more you react to them the more they annoy you.

I'm the younger brother in our house. My brother and I are the only chaps in the house so I'm sure a psychologist could go on for days about us struggling to be recognised as the alpha male of the group and not wanting to appear the weaker one of the pack or something but I'll pass on the psychological evaluation for now thanks.

I just know he does some things to tick me off just as much as I do some things to tick him off.

I always think I'm only doing it because of something he did to me first and I'm sure he thinks the same, only doing something because I deserve it.

He spends most of his time away from home now though and when he is around we do get on better than we used to. Not as well as the perfect brothers would but a lot better than we used to. Having time to yourself is so important in my opinion. Spend too much time with anybody and you're bound to argue at some point.
