Answer 1

Since mother is no help, the best way to stop him is to make him paranoid to enter your room

I put a mousetrap in my purse to solve my problem with my sticky-fingered brother.

Booby-trap your room in other ways.  Shoes, especially high-heels, or a bucket of water (flowery perfume added) balanced on a slightly-opened door will deter him from entering as often.  Leave feminine stuff in his room for his friends to find, tease about him acting girly in front of his friends.  Get in your mother's face about your brother in front of him, accuse her of turning him g*y or girly by constantly defending him.

Let him know it is war, and you will fight to win.  And then actually fight to win.

Answer 2

I know exactly how you feel. My brother (7) is mommy's little favorite which sucks. If you compare the way my dad treats my brother to my mom you'll see a huge difference. My dad see's right through my brother little tactics. My mom just spoils him like a big *** baby.

If you can talk to your dad about the way he is acting or another male. That ought straighten him out a bit.

Answer 3

Your brother has already figures out what you need to learn.  The technique of "being funny" about things.  It really works!

If you want more of Mom's attention, the trick is to first GIVE her more or YOUR attention.  

In parent child relationships, you get back what you give.

Actually, that works for ALL relationships, but most people don't "get it".  

You don't have to "get it" how it works, just do it and be amazed how well it works.  Don't act sullen.  Act happy and fun, and you'll please your parent SO MUCH, that they will notice you more in a good way.

As far as the brother taking your things....

return the gesture, and then discuss with him, when your things are disturbed, his will mysteriously have the same thing too! LET HIM KNOW this will happen.

(It's called the "reward system")

Answer 4

I think you should do something about your parents, not that much your brother. Your brother will most likely not listen to reason, but your parents will.

Seriously talk to your mom and tell her what is going on that you want her to punish him or something.

Good Luck.  

Answer 5

ignore him. i WANTS you to be irritated. dont give him that attention.

Answer 6

I think what you should do is talk to your mother about this using ALL the information on this question. If your mother has any brains she will at least try to set him straight.

Answer 7

you know i have the same problem,,well the best way is to fight with your parents and make a huuuge tantrum about it,,u teenagers suck! i am 12.. i mean all u tennagers worry about is family relationships school blabla..i mean cant u ever be happy?

Answer 8

Youre brother is a victim as much as you. Your mother is crippling him emotionally and socially. Instead of becoming enemies which your mother is causing, why not befriend him and be his ally. Take him places you go, be his friend. Treat him as if he was one of your own friends. Eventually he will stop seeing you as an enemy and respect you. My mother tried to divide my brother and I and I did not allow it. I let him know through my actions that he mattered more to me than she did.

Answer 9

Tell your mother "You knowmom, thanks to YOU ,_____________(brother's name in the blank) will be in jail before he is 18 and you'll probably be bailing him out and paying his child support when he is 40.

Tell her he is NEVER held accountable for the wrong he is doing and never made to be responsible.It is all thanks to you!

Answer 10

Patience. That's the only thing I can recommend you have. Since your mom isn't on your side, I would say wait it out. With luck, he'll grow out of it.

Answer 11

Try having your siblings go into your room meddle and find your condoms and they bring them down and show your mom.

But to answer your question wait until he's asleep and put makeup on him. You might glue him to the toilet or wait until he's asleep and glue his feet together
