Controlling brother >:(

Question

Me and my brother get along much more than most siblings do, we don't often fight or argue that much. But he can be really controlling, say i'm on the computer doing my own thing, then he'll come along and say " I want to go on now" and shove me off. It's so annoying and if I refuse he just blackmails me. Like one time I accidently broke something, and I thought it couldn't be fixed and that it cost loads so I was really worried i'd get into trouble with my parents, and my brother found out, and for about 2 weeks he had to get his way ALL the time, because he'd just threaten to tell them, untill I told my parents what I broke ( but they found it quite funny actually). If my parents are there when he bosses me around, then they'll tell him to stop it, but most of the time he does it when they are not around. By the way i'm 13 and he's 16. What can I do?! Thank you!

Answer 1

start practicing FORCED CRYING......make urself shed real tears and cry like a BABY.  then when he wants to be bossy like that next time cry so hard, he'll have no choice but to leave u alone, unless he is cold hearted and soul less.

my cousins steven and jenny would constantly fight over the internet, so my aunt nellie installed a program that allows jenny one hour of time per day and steven one hour per day.  the only way they can get extra time is if they can prove they need it for homework, and once extra time is password allotted, aunt nellie has to sit right next to them until the hw is completed so she can make sure they arent trying to cheat the other sibling.  if steven or jenny want to go over their hr long limit, the computer will shut down, unless aunt nellie steps into the room to give whoever is on the computer more time.

Answer 2

there is really nothin u can do cuz he is ur older brother and even if u get him in trouble he is still goin to boss u around

Answer 3

well, i am 16 and my brother is 14 and he tried to controll me!!  he always makes fun of me because he is a whole inch taller than me or also try to blackmail me. what i do is try to find something to use against him. so, if he tries to blackmail me, i do it right back to him. it usually works. lucky for me, he is normally grounded from everything so i dont have to worry about a lot of stuff!!

good luck!!

I read it all.

You just have to stand up to him and say "I'm not going to take your c**p anymore"

It'll make you a stronger person.

You don't always have to be on the computer.

If he bothers you while doing other things, you gotta tell your parents that it is serious and you want it to stop.
