Answer 1

Your brother isn't a ''sicko'' it's just that he's kinda sorry , lazy.

Answer 2

Your mom needs to take him to a mental health provider. He sounds as if he is suffering from OCD or could be Austistic. He could also have other problems such as learning disabilites. Problems with his temper also could signal a spectrum of Autism. So there could be several different things that could be the problem. Kicking him out is not the answer as he could end up homeless on the street. Anyone who is 19 and in adult school has some type of mental problems.

Answer 3

Might he have a mental illness?  Send him to a mental hospital if that's the case.  I'm not joking either.

Maybe he needs a therapist to get his life back on track.  Therapists are proven to help many people.

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 4

Take the game away. Then set him up for counseling. He needs help. He can die that way.

Answer 5

If your parents want him out for real then all they have to do is pick up the phone and call the cops they will come and toss his **** out and escort his *** out of the house pretty much then he wont come back then he can see how serious life can be if your a loser

Answer 6

talk to your parents, and find help for him..immediately. he needs help.  you can also talk to your guidance teacher at school, see if you can get any help that way.  

but you need to get him to a doctor, things will only get worse if they're not properly taken care of. i'm sorry to say this, but there's a difficult life ahead of you, and you as a brother will have responsibilities towards your family and him.  good luck.

Answer 7

I am so sorry that your family is hurting this way and I know you must feel really frustrated.  This is something your parents will have to set limits on and get the professional help he needs.  

I don't know whether you have had a private conversation with your parents about this, but that would be a good place to start.  Ask them for a time when you could speak to them about something that is very important to you.  Try to make sure it is at a time when your parents are not stressed out and tired.  Make sure you phrase things in a way that does not seem like you are blaming them and stress that you want the whole family to be the best they can be.  

Good luck!

Answer 8

He's 18+ so your parent have legal right to call the police. They will sort everything out.

Answer 9

What it sounds like is your parents are enabling this behavior. If your brother wants to be this way- thats one thing. Where the problem arises is when your parents give in and give him money for video games and allow him to stay around their house all the time. Mind you- this is something a lot of teenagers his age go through. Its tough around his age because you have to accept the fact that you're no longer supposed to be dependent on your parents- and you're supposed to start relying on yourself. It is harder for some people than others to accept this. What needs to happen if you all want to see change is your parents need to stand up and tell hi how things are going to be. They need to give him a deadline to get a job. They need to tell him he has to be out of the house in a year- and they NEED to be consistent and stick to their plan. If they give in once, he'll expect they'll always give in sooner or later and nothing will ever change. Try not to stress about it too much- there isn't much YOU can do... you're parents are the ones who need to fix this. Good Luck.....

Answer 10

It sounds like your parents are enablers. I think the only way he'll grow up is if they stop paying for everything, and kick his butt out!

Answer 11

There's nothing any of us can do.  Your parents need to find him some real professional help.  Until he's ready to accept the help himself though, nothing is going to work.

Answer 12

Anything constructive that can be done for your brother, is out of your abilities to be able to handle, being the sibling.  It is your parents that have allowed him to become this way, and to continue in a way that is of no benefit to himself or society.  It sounds like he's isolated himself and that is definately not a healthy thing to do.

I would suggest that you approach your parents and tell them that they need to bring him to a doctor for assessment.  They can tell your brother whatever they like if they think it will get him through the doctor's door, such as it's time for his next vaccination, or, make up a family history of some disease like colon cancer and that your brother needs to get checked for the markers RIGHT NOW (markers are indicators).

Your parents should talk to the doctor beforehand of course to explain the ruse and what the real reason is to get him in.  The doctor should take it from there.  He could simply be depressed about not having direction, having a low self esteem, etc.  Those things could certainly be fixed in time.  Better to start now than have a 24 year old living this life.

Answer 13

ok, i know somebody that has gotten through a WOW addiction. also the game itself is very addicting, people can play for days straight. there is also a new game out that i hope he doesnt find out about called "conan" which is like wow, but more complex, and more intracate, which is going to be bad because it also costs the money each month for subscriptions.

If he is 19, i would tell him that he either needs to go to school and get good grades, or work if he wants to stay living at home.



she can kick him out, but i doubt she will seeing how you wrote everything.

Cut off the internet, dont pay for subscrpitions, change his password on the login for the account.

Good luck, this is going to be a hard one.

edit- also just so you know, once a person gets into the mmorg ( massive mutiplayer online games) they cant stop. this is his life now, he will feel like it is his life, he has an addictive personality, and needs help. you wont be able to get him to stop playing, its someting that you are going to need help doing
