how to deal if your brother is too lazy in his studies even at house he just sleeps and do nothing..and in waking up in the morning he still sleeps and doesnt care if he will be late at school.he doesnt make his assignments and just depend it to others.he is not helping himself to aim high to improve at school..what will you do to this kind of behavior?he never listen to his parents just let it passed out in his other ears.and never cared the value of education..though he has anxiety in his childhood days..sickly asmatic child..but now it was gone still he makes it as an excused...he is a good child though his just lazy.but still it irritates knowing upon that behavior...he is already 16 years old and still plays like a kid,not mature in his age..he was spoiled by her mother....cause he was tha only boy in the siblings. what can you say about this? enjoy posting!

Hi, acie. This is a very annoying situation that i also experienced with my sister, but now she highly responsible in her work. Actually, this kind of behavior results from the lack of sense of responsibility, and sometimes a feeling of inferiority. Being her sister, you should try to talk to him with love and tell him that he underestimates his position in the family. You should tell him that your family depends a lot on him either now or in future, with some reasonable points. This way, he will sense a feeling some responsibility on his shoulders. Tell him how your parents have striven to bring him up, and how much you all love him. Never give him any examples of others or of yourself, rather set forth examples in front of him. Like, even if he is doing some work by himself, help him out. This way, he will learn to help. Never show your annoyance to him, this way he will learn to love. Actually, following these practices will cause much more irritation in your mind, but be cool there are long tern effects. Also, tell your mother that the excessive love will result in problems later on. So, she should be rather tough to say NO sometimes to her dear son. Happy Mylotting!!

no matter what were trying to do..to help him out still goes back to his attitude..and the mother feels bad if we tell her about this..still she continues her own dicissions..she babies his son too much..if we show love to him he.. will depends that we love him and ends up going back to his attitude.no matter how we explain to him nothing will happen in the end though he realized and cry..for his mistakes..still nothing will change.

WOW, learn it from a pro.lol. I agree with all that you said. Giving him some responsibility in the house will make him realize that he is valuable and as part of the family. Like ask him to fix small stuff such as lawn the garden, or much better if you have some pets and let him clean the dirt that the pets cause. In that way he will be responsible. my one cent.

Yeah, acie, i agree that there are situations that nothing seems to work at all, but i can say only one thing out here, whatever you practice to get him correct, you have to be patient with it coz initially, it will not seem to work. And, of course, you are much smarter, and i am sure you will find a solution. Happy Mylotting!! And, sybil. Thanks for your word of appreciation. You also think very rationally. Happy Mylotting!!
