Answer 1

I suggest calling in a professional, like your mother.  There needs to be rules that he must follow, or the punishment will be dealt with by your parents.

Answer 2

You cant be too bossy because you are his sister but on important issues you can just say that you are in charge in a nice way or else he will not want to do anything that you say

Answer 3

just ignore him and let him entertain himself if he doens't want your help stop offering it

Answer 4

How much older are you than your brother? Are your parents not helping? When he tries to make you angry/push your buttons, say something nice to him. After a while he will learn he can't do that & it will stop him in his tracks for a second.

Do you have a time out corner? My daughters therapist had me do that even though my daughter said that "It's for babies!" The behavior stopped after 2 times with her nose in that corner.

As for the junk food, hide it and ask your parents not to buy it. I have 2 brothers one older one younger so I know what you are dealing with. If you can't handle it walk away and tell your parents that without their help you can't watch him anymore.

Good luck.
