Harden the fuck up!!?
-Whiny/sulky bitch

-lazy
-false sense of entitlement
-kind of a prick/bully
What do I do? He is a polar opposite of me (well actually he is pretty much like me, minus the drive which would fix most of his issues). You can't say anything to the kid because he will just shut down and sulk. I'm unemployed/(unemschooled?) until the fourth and need to get my family back on track. During the last three weeks of exams I almost freaked shit on everyone because of all the stress/tension getting thrown around the house (and it's a good thing I didn't, I still owe my parents a new door and my finger has a huge scar from the last time I lost it). Not to mention all these retarded arguments they are having over the same shit, every single week. Stressed out Engg student was stressed.
I know I'm an extremely judgmental person and a bit arrogant, but there is no way I was this messed up when I 16.
-He expects my parents to buy him a car (A turbo rx7... LOL) using the guise of "Oh, i'll use it to go to the gym" (my parents fancy themselves fitness fanatics). I worked 25-30 hrs/week during HS to afford my vehicles (and you know what... the feeling was awesome when you started with 5k in your account and reached the 8,10, 15k mark, saving all your money from your shitty job to go buy some pussywagon), I would have never dreamed of asking for money towards one. I probably would have had no problem getting 10k towards a vehicle if I asked... But F-me who wants a free ride?
-He licks dick at school. Self explanatory. Obviously he's f-ing around, how do I tell him he is a loser? There is no excuse not to get Merit, hell I didn't even try to get Honors and I had the worst attendance in the school for a while. Now I wouldn't have any problem if he was willing to be a blue collar worker (mechanic, welder, ect...) But no, all I hear about is how he is going to get a scholarship to play basketball for some US college because he is the leading scorer on his HS team. LOLwut, he's 6"1... short whiteboi is short. Maybe I should drop him off in Hobema and show him what a real winner you can become if you don't give a fuck about anything.
-Stupid shit that shows lack of morals. "Hustling" fake clothing. Hanging out with the local "ufc crew". Just today he came home with an XXGB Ipod touch. His explaination... he found it at school... Um found?... Ohhh so you mean it's stolen, or legitimately found it and just didn't turn it into the office. I don't believe he stole it, but who knows. I'm just going to overlook this. Maybe I'm a little more honest than most, but the correct thing to do would have been to turn it in to the office, and tell them that if no one claims it you will either take it back or burn the whole bitch down (referring to the School here... and the Secretary). That's just me.
Do I do anything? Do I let him figure life out on his own? You look and there are so many losers in the world, I don't want my brother to be one of them.
