A Problem W/ My Bro

[Emerson]

Forum:

I am having a problem. My younger brother has been hanging around with the "wrong" crowd. He used to be good in school, now is is always in trouble. His grades were OK, now they are poor. He just doesn't seem to care. He is the exact opposite of me. He is over weight, rude to authority, and is a regular trouble maker.

Recently, a friend gave him a BB gun with which he caused trouble. That was a few days ago. Yesterday, he was with some lower quality friends of his, and they were shooting bird and torturing them. Then they shot out windows. My parents grounded him, but he still "escaped" to the hood with the gun. Well, because of his trigger finger, his has a citation to the District Justice. He is causnign more trouble.

First off, I hope the judge throws the book at. He deserves Community Service everyday and belongs in jail for a weekend. This mayn seem harsh, but his behavior is been horrible to everyone and everything.

What are your opinions on this?

[Nightwind Hawk]

Shot Birds? Tortured them? Lock him up.

[Emerson]

He should be punished. Tourturing animals in NOT right. They can't help it that they're just stupid animals.

I feel that he should be punished to the greatest extent possible. A fine is stupid because the parents always have to have. At least he got the gun taken away from him. My parents don't even want to deal with him. Could he be evil incarnate?!?! Doubt it. Everyone have good and bad in them. He is like 3/4 bad, 1/8 confused, and 1/8 OK. Just a little conclusion I came to off the top of my head.

[Heather Lovelace]

Yeah, actually, i agree. Maybe locking him up for a weekend might teach him a lesson. I think that's terrible. Shooting /torturing birds? Wow, and i thought my lil bro was bad. He's seriously got something wrong with him. grr. He uses BB guns too. Only, he shoots people. And he tryd to shoot me in the ASS!! *ehum* anyway, yes, lock him up for a weekend.

How old is your bro btw?

[Emerson]

My bother is 11.

Now I don't have a problem with owning guns. Everyone who is a responsible person and not a criminal shouldm be allowed to but one. But, I hate BB guns. Kids use them to terrrorize people and small animals.

[DearestHelpless]

My brother is 19. I nailed him with a seat belt and made him cry. Cool huh?

[Heather Lovelace]

Sweet! LOL. My brother is like, eh, 12. Hes retarded

[Nightwind Hawk]

HE'S 11!?!? God, it's wierd to see children think their so cool. How old are you?

Maybe you can teach him a lesson yourself...

[Emerson]

Hello DearestHelpless:

What did he do?



Hello *unwanted_sk8rgurl*:

Now, is he actually retarded, or you just don't like him?



Younger sibblings can be very annoying, but admit it, you DO love him/her. Think about it....

[Mavi_Lavigne]

lol Okay so it MAY have been about 10 years ago, but it still counts. He was annoying me. So I nailed him. Lets just say...I was very violent with my brother, he wasn't with me, but I sure as hell was with him.

He is over weight,
Because that's the issue here.

I say knock some sense into him now. community service would do him good, but because he's 11 he probably won't get squat. Good to get him now though, before it gets worse. My brother stole a car when he was 18. Got 500 hours community service. We honestly think that the reason he didn't get jail time is because he has a son. (Yes, my brother became a father at 18 years old.)

Stole a car and got a girl pregant... nice.

Hello PunkyMalone:

Your brother will be in my prayers, as will the rest of the world and those in need. And yes, prayers are answered. Eventually.

Better yet, stole the car because he was angry after a fight with the girl he got pregnant.

And dropped out of school twice. Or three times. I forget.

Yeah, my brother rocks.

Actually I'm proud of him now. He's actually trying to turn his life around. He's been working part time and going to adult-school to finish high school and has applied for college in the fall. He's doing all this so he can fully and properly support his son (who is now two) one day. So although a little young to have had a kid, I think it was actually a blessing because the little guy is getting my brother to smarten up.

He's also been trying to quit smoking. Maybe because for Christmas we got him The Patch and the card said 'merry christmas, love Brandon." (Brandon being his son.) :lol: guilt trips work wonders...

Hello forum:

These children who do things like this should be taken out of society and put down. Consider it a preemptive strike.

[PunkyMalone]

Sorry, abortion is illegal in the 44th trimester.

Of couse i love my brother.... [not when hes annoying though. Grr!]

To me, he's retarded. Hes a fat f*ck.. no wait, hes not fat.... oh well.

LMAO, DearestHelpless. Now you say it was 10 years ago. lol. I mean, how old are you? If you were to strap you're bro who is 19. I understand if its 9. LOL


And hey, don't you think you're going a lil' OTT with "abortions" thing? :blink:

[Emerson]

My bro is a scout and doesn't live up to the motto, what ever it is.

He thinks that he's better than me, but at one time he actually thought that one of our cats that that it was better than him! ;)

[KingJJP]

put him in a tank of parania (sp)

[Heather Lovelace]

Er... yeah..... :lol:

I am 16. I was 6 or 7 when I did it. I was an abusive sister.

[Heather Lovelace]

^ hahaha.. yeah, same, im evil to my brother even though hes so much younger then me.

[avrilrocks007]

hey, well i actually agree wiht you emerson, maybe if he has to stay the weekend in juvie he would realise what he did and hopefully it will make him think about his actions in the future. but since hes 11 hes at that impressional age were they start trying to be as "cool" as they can be to fit in with the croud hes been with....but good luck with your brother

LOL u guys were like abusive to your little bros! aw you made him cry? lol poor kid lol u guys make me REALLY glad not to have a little brother :P lol im stuck with a little sister tho <_<

[DearestHelpless]

See the thing is...I dont have a little brother...my brother is 4 years older than me....well 3 and a half.

[Emerson]

My home got a phone call stating that brother might have to go to Boot Camp for an undisclosed period of time. Good!

Here's a question. When someone gets in trouble and goes to Boot Camp, do they learn to fire M16's and other guns? Also, are they officially in the Army afterwards? I know these questions seem stupid, but I had to ask!

[punkin_monkey]

^ I think that boot camp is just a place to straighten out the little dickens. No, they're not in the army. I'm pretty sure boys are 18 when they are forced to sign those papers. Though, I could be wrong.
They MAY learn to shoot guns, but, I don't think they all do that. It may just be basic, or strenuous training and strict discipline to get him in line. I don't think that they would teach them things that will make them any more mischievious.

Hopefull, he will get put in his place.

[PunkyMalone]

Actually, some of those boot camps are very dangerous and kids have died in them.

[punkin_monkey]

Oh, well...that's bad. I didn't know that.

[Lee_Lee_Nico]

well My lil bro kills all kinds of thing with his BB gun, but he doesn't torture them because he know how to aim. as for the windows and stuff maybe he should work to pay for new ones, and his friends and grades are his choice and his mistake. he'll learn if you'll help show him why it's wrong.

[Emerson]

He should know what's right and wrong. He's an alter boy in my church! That doesn't mean a thing to him. He's nasty to family and friends, shows no respect to elders, disobeys authorities, and tortures and destroys. But, he'll learn. Everyone learns at one time or another. But, when they are as much trouble as he is, the price is much more than they bargined for. I'm sure everyone has leaned that. If not, you probably will.

[Lee_Lee_Nico]

ok i know this is about to sound like a load of crap, but could it be for attention or to impress his "new" friends or something. It'd be easier to solve the problem if you knew the cause and reason.

[Emerson]

That's kind of what my family is thinking. His friends are all trouble-makers and get poor grades. We feel he is trying to fit in with them, although he denies it. He wasn't always like this, only when he started to hand around with naughty kids.

[DearestHelpless]

Although environment may have a large affect on how people behave, you cannot blame everything on his friends. I think that the individual plays a large part in their behavior as well. Environment does NOT determine everything no matter what you want to believe. Don't put all of the blame onto his friends and what he may spend time surrounded by, your brother is as much to blame as his friends are.

[Emerson]

I'm not blaming his "friends" for everything. It's his fault to do this, therefor he should be punished. My parents have no sympathy for the fact that he is in trouble. They hope the Judge punishes him so that he'll learn his lesson. Hopefully, after that he will shape up.

[punkin_monkey]

We'd all like to hope so.

[Lee_Lee_Nico]

well it sounds like it's all in pretty good hands right now.

[star*girl]

He really should be punished. SLAP HIM! HE SHOULD BE SPANKED OR SOMETHING!

[Lee_Lee_Nico]

Thats how my parents go about everything, don't help much physical pain goes away pretty fast.

[Carey]

Yahs, I agree with you all. He is just being lame and maybe its just a phase but you should still help him out

[DearestHelpless]

I don't think a Judge's punishment will bring an end to whatever is going on. Change like that isn't immediate.

Spanked, eh?

[freak01]

This whole thing is making me kind of glad my brother is three years older than me. Emerson, I'll be praying for your brother and family. And I don't really think spanking the kid is going to do any good.
