My brother is spoiled and an asshole but I still worry
The story
So I'm 15, my brother is 13. He's a major asshole. His first problem is that he never listens, I tell him something and he'd insult me but not listen even if it's genuinely good advice or I told him caring about him. I know at my age I haven't lived the world yet, but I can help him with some things. The second thing is that he always argues, he acts like all he does is not his fault. He doesn't study, not his fault. He does something stupid or harmful, not his fault. and when he gets scolded he doesn't give a fuck. Today he literally gave us all a heart attack, basically he gets out of school at 2 pm, he should've been home max at 2:20, instead while we were trying to find him everywhere on the road from school to home, contacting his classmates and friends, apparently he was bringing his friend home (who literally lives on the complete other side of the town) and he arrived home at 3 pm. Apparently his bike broke (not broke but the chain wasn't working) and he didn't bother trying to contact anyone. And now after getting a big ass scolding from my mom and literally her saying she was so fucking worried, he just kept rolling his eyes and not caring. He didn't accept on taking his phone to school just in case, so now he cannot even accompany his friends. And now this evening I'll have to hear him getting scolded and him not giving a fuck again.
I don't wanna hear any shit saying "oh but he's still growing, he's a teen." well I'm a teen too, all my friends are teens too, and none of us ever did this shit. How can someone be so selfish and such a dickhead? I always say this, he's been raised as the main character and way too cared for. I just don't get it, I wasn't this shitty at 13.

Yeah, that sounds super frustrating, dealing with a brother who's always acting like he's not responsible for his actions. 😬
It kind of seems like he’s just in his own little world where everything revolves around him; maybe he enjoys the attention even if it’s negative. My younger cousin used to be similar (always pulling stunts and ignoring advice) and honestly, it took some serious life lessons before he realized the impact of his actions. But at 13, sometimes they're just testing boundaries without thinking about consequences... Maybe once he faces real-world repercussions more often, he’ll start to care a bit more? It's tough being stuck in the middle of it all...
Ugh, that sounds so rough to deal with right now 😵💫 I remember having similar issues with my younger sis who always thought she was invincible and nothing could touch her; She once skipped school to hang out with friends and gave us all a major scare too, but eventually, she started learning from some of the drama she caused. It's tough being the older sibling trying to show them the way when they just won't listen 🙄 Maybe in time, he'll realize not everything's about him and learn some responsibility; until then, hang in there!
