I'm nineteen. My fifteen year old brother is an introverted nerd type that spends his time playing games or reading things on his iPad all day. He's grown into one of those know it all a that disagrees with everything you say. This boy also never listens and argues with his parents every single day. Every single conversation with him results in him saying to me "Your dumb" "you're a retard". When he first started using these terms it shocked me because to actual people with mental illnesses and disabilities and its plain ignorant. Now he says it all the time and I realise i shouldn't be letting my younger brother speak to me like this. Ned Where did my power go? How can I make him fear me again as an older sister? Ever since he entered his teens all he does is insult me. I miss the little kid version of my brother. I don't know what happened. Is it better to just ignore him all together until he's matured.
