When my little brother does something that really bugs me, I get mad. It always makes me really mad. I tell him to stop but he does not listen to me. I tell my parents. They tell him to stop but he does not listen to them. He does not listen to anybody and that bugs me a lot. Every time he does something over and over again and he knows it bugs me, he does not stop at all. He never listens and that is what makes me mad. Every time we do something he does something stupid, like yelling at someone for nothing. When we tell him not to do that, he gets all mad and thinks everybody is picking on him. He always has his hissy fits, and that is really annoying and he knows that. He gets really annoying all the time. Every time I have people come over; he always does something to draw attention to himself.
I try to fix it. He always does not listen. I try to sit him down and tell him what he does that makes me mad or that annoys me, but he does not listen. One day I told him to sit down and listen. When I was all done telling him what bugged me that he did or annoyed me, he stopped doing it.
When we go out and he does something stupid, we tell him not to. He does not get mad any more. He does not act like everybody is picking on him. All the time he used to not listen to any one and that made us all mad. Now he listens to us all the time. Even when we tell him to stop doing something and do his chores, he says okay.
So that is how just sitting down and telling somebody what bugs you really helps. It worked for me, and I have no more problems with my brother. If you just sit down and tell people your problems, then it will work. I sat down my brother and told him not to do what bugs me that he does, and he stopped. Whoever you sit down with, if you just tell them what bugs you, they will stop doing what bugs you. You can’t sit them down and yell at them though because they will not listen to you. You have to be calm.
