Video Game Forums

I hate how my older brothers are mean. They torture me just because I am the youngest, they gang up on me all the time I hate it. They always kick me off the tv when I am playing video games and I can't take them, they are buttheads. Josh is 17 and Ryan is 19. I am 11

Hey mate. Having brothers you don't get along with can be rough. Any chance talking to your parents about it would help?

I'm an older sibling so I don't really know how you feel. That said, I guess you can make some rules in regards to the TV. Like, you have a certain amount of time on it and they can't kick you off until that time is done or something. Something along those lines.

Just file around the end of your toothbrush and carry it around with you at all times.

They'll get the message.

Here's the thing - are you able to tell your parents what they do, or do they not listen to you because they believe you're exaggerating, or do they instead believe them whenever something happens?

Believe me, it's just a part of growing up. My little bro always gets fooled around with by me and my brother, but we usually just do it for fun.

I'm the baby of the family AND the shortest and skinniest (and I can't tear through a wet paper towel). It's pretty much a requirement for me to be teased all the time. All for fun though.

When it gets serious I tell them off though, and I've said since I hit 18 that my opinion actually counts.

17 and 19 year olds picking on you? That sounds very immature of them. I'd expect better of people their age. Then again, I was picked on by 21 or 22 year olds sometimes when I was in college, so I feel your pain. -CSM

The kind of things my brother does to me would be far less harsh if it wasn't just fooling around.
