Aslamualaykum, I'm here because I don't know what else to do.
My brother who is 15 now, doesn't listen to my parents. He always causes frustration and sadness in our family. He yells, forces people to do things his way and if we don't, he will take it out on my other brothers, who are younger than him. I see that my parents are at their wits ends because of all that. And because of his attitude, my other brothers are starting to act like him. Me and my mom have sat down with him so many times and confront him of his behavior, but it doesn't seem to work at all. He has caused my mother to cry many times and I feel helpless becasue I can't do anything about it. It feels like he doesn't care about hurting people as long as he is happy. We fight EVERYDAY with him. I wish we didn't have to. It's very saddening. I have prayed so many many times for him. He fights and 'blackmails and threatens' my other brothers if they don't do what he wants. I want him to see and acknowledge what he does wrong and do something positive about it. I know he isn't a bad person. But I want to know why he does all these things. |

He needs some tough love and discipline. The parents should take away privileges like cellphones, internet, pocket money etc and EXPECT him to earn his privileges. If there are no negative consequences to his actions, he won't learn.
