Omg! Help!! My brother is a nerd and i am suffering from it!?

Question

Okay. So my brother ever since he knew how to work a leapster game has been obsessed with computers and video games. I know boys play video games a few times a day. And oh guess what all of his friends are "gamers" too they have no life and have no social skills. My brothers is on teh computer probably 5 hours straight no joke. His addiction has been tearing ouor house apart becuase my dad calls him a geek becuase he doesn't go and play liek other little boys, i can't even use the computer to talk to my frineds without giving my borother a 30 minute warning, he goes to computer camp i mean wtf is that! and he went to canobie lake park and played video games when he was there. Its really unhealthy and has made him alittle bit more violent. It pisses me off you have no clue how bad it has gotten. please help me find a way to curb his habit!. ( i like using the computer to talk to my friends a couple minutes a day. )

Answer 1

Sounds like something your parents need to address. Are they also concerned? They should limit his computer use to about an hour a day and same with the video games. Maybe try introducing him to some outdoor activities he might like. He probably will grow out of it later.  

Answer 2

Wow, looks like you upset a whole heap of other computer geeks on this very page. But I am like you. We are both attractive, athletic and popular. We like discussing important issues with other attractive and athletic people while sipping expensive cocktails at exclusive clubs for the chosen few. Unfortunately, not everyone can be like us. Believe it or not, some people are born destined to become nothing more than laborers, street mimes and reality TV show hosts. Your brother, as painful as the realisation may be, appears to be one of these. Offer him your condescending support, but resist the temptation to be dragged down to his level.

Answer 3

Shush you!

Let your brother play his games.

So what you have phone access right?

Your online now.

Use the other computer.

Chill.

Answer 4

you parent(s) is going to have to take charge and limit his time on it and make him do other things. try to be nice, when you get older he'll be very important to you  

Answer 5

OMFG my bff is getting obbsesed with world of warcraft its so g*y she is on the computer 8 hours a day, i never get to talk to her anymore and her whole world revol\lves around it..theres nothing u ca do...im sorry i guess tell ur parents

Answer 6

You're the only one making yourself suffer. Obviously, you're too immature to deal with it without asking for attention, and your spelling, and the fact that you typed 'OMG' proves it. And you used the computer to post this stupid question anyways. Get over yourself.

Answer 7

whos older?

if youre older, than why arent you going out with your friends instead, let him do whatever he does sound like a nerd, take him out to meet people

if youre younger, then shoot just dont follow in his footsteps

Answer 8

Your spelling is atrocious and you need to learn how to construct paragraphs.  I think you need to spend a little more time on the computer reading, surfing wikipedia, learning, maybe write a journal and basically 'NERD' up a bit.  What harm is he actually doing? He seems to be enjoying himself with a circle of friends whilst you are stuck here on Yahoo answers moaning! ;-)

Answer 9

ask him to stop, or lock yourself in your room (my brother always bothers me)

Answer 10

HIDE HIS LEAPSTER AND JUST DO SOMETHING ELSE 2 OCCUPY YOURSELF SO U WON'T HAVE 2 BE AROUND HIM AND GET MAD ALL OVER AGAIN ,JUST TELL HIM WHEN U WANT TO GET ON THE COMPUTER .AND LET THAT BE THAT  

Answer 11

Get your own laptop or computer. Problem Solved!

Answer 12

What the heck is the question?  This looks like a rant.

Answer 13

Yeah sometimes brothers can be weird. You should introduce him to a friend who has a cool interests in sports and what not , Or get him enrolled in a sport by force and when he finds one he doesn't totally hate he will eventually find a friend that he can hangwith and that he will be more encouraged to continue that sport. Or hide his video games OR shut down the computer and say it isn't working then use it yourself when you have a chance.

Answer 14

is it world of warcraft? if so, theres no hope, you'll just have to wait for him to get bored of it.... theres no other way to leave that game.

Answer 15

sounds like your bro has some issues. maybe stay away from him for a while...

Answer 16

yeah.. you're suffering.

Answer 17

get him a girlfriend

if you do then you will figure this out

Answer 19

So?

you're one too.

respect your bro for who he is.

don't try to change him.

you don't have a right to do that.

Answer 20

It's really your parents' responsibility to curb his bad habits.  You should talk to them about it, especially if he's becoming violent!  Yikes!  That really sucks though.  I mean, what is it with guys and video games?

Answer 21

ok I don't see anything wrong with the fact that he's a nerd, but it's bad that he's addicted to the computer. tell you parents about your concern and be mature about it so they'll take you seriously.

Answer 22

MAN YOUR A ***** BE NICE

Answer 23

Bet you'll think differently when your bro is rolling in the money cause he's smarter than Bill Gates...and of course you'll all get none for picking on him!

Answer 24

Honestly, It's none of your buisness. Let him have his life and get your own..

Answer 25

Yes. You typed "OMG!". So yes.

Answer 26

It's proably just a faze, but if it continues, theres nothing u can do, it's him and thats just the wat he is, u gotta love him, nerd or not.

Answer 27

wow. that's pretty low calling your own brother a nerd, and by the looks of your spelling, it wouldn't hurt you to read a few more books. oh, and you shouldn't need a computer to have a life.  

Answer 28

1 you shouldn't call him a freak. that's just horrible. that's probably one of the reasons hes violent. because you guys are mean to him about what he likes and enjoys. but maybe if you actually tried to be a sister and act like it he would want to get off the computer. play outside with him play board games books anything..Good luck

Answer 29

my little sister is always playing computer games and getting viruses and it pisses me off. ive told my parents to not let her go on with out asking nad having a time limit but they dont like to listen. makes me mad because when i was younger i wasnt even allowed to play my educational games on the computer. anyways blah blah blah find him a girlfriend lol so he wont have to turn to internet p**n and hog the computer more. haha

Answer 30

My neighbor has the same problem with her son.  She tries to get him to play outside, he just sits in front of the door waiting to go back in... I'd talk to your parents about it, they need to intervene.

Answer 31

Thats very mean of your dad....
