Sibling rivalry, Stop this madness!

Where do I even begin with this? Ever since my older brother, Adam, left for university (he's not living at home anymore) my younger brother and I can't stop bickering with eachother. Even when Adam was here, we faught, but it's never been this bad. Everything I do, even when I'm only joking around, Alex has to make some stupid comment that will get us going (and he's only 10-years-old)! It really upsets my parents when this happens, and I try so hard not to react to him... but I don't deserve his bullshit every bloody day. My parents are always saying "You're the older one!", but I don't think that's fair at all. I've tried everything: talking to him about his behaviour, working out ways to help eachother stop this, even staying out of his hair completely.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE!

I think you should try to find him a hobby or try to get him to make some friends. I'm not sure about what ten year old boys like. Try to convince your parents to get some game console or a Game Boy for him. That kind of stuff should keep him occupied, or get him into Neopets or something.

If he gets a hobby, he won't have time to bother you.

Believe me, he has tons of hobbies. We own more game consoles than Wal-Mart sells in a year, haha! He's always watching TV or something... it's mostly in the mornings and nights when we're together as a family. I think my problem is just needing to ignore him.

do you think maybe he misses Adam?
maybe he looked up to him, or got along with him, or maybe he was even an outlet for Alex to complain about you(haha).
just try to deal with it, i guess. there's really no way to avoid the fighting unless you don't give in to his taunting.

I never thought about that. I know Adam and him were kind of close... Maybe he does miss him. But he was always like this before, too. Ugh, I don't know. I think I just need to tolerate him more.
