just be nice to people. You need to me nice and kind and relaxed. don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. you know what I mean. You have to take a walk if you are angry. just go for a walk until you cool down. do you know what I mean it's better that way. anger causes people to do a lot of bad things. so its not a good idea to act in anger. you know what i mean. take a long walk. and when you have calmed down then deal with the issues at hand peace

Hating your little brother is not a logical choice - he is, after all, related to you by blood. You are there to protect and take care of him. He needs you to be kind and empathetic to him - you were in shoes at some point. Perhaps, hating on him is a result of low-esteem. You may find the good traits in yourself and also find them in him. To help you change your view and perhaps your impulse to 'hate' on him, you can do more activities with him and help build a bond. Also, perhaps a little communication may go a long way in helping establishing a more secure and understanding bond.

Trust me! there is no such thing as hating your brother. He's from your bloodline, your family! Spending time with someone extensively can get annoying though, I'll give you that. I understand that siblings can get annoying at times, but I hope you have it in your heart to not hate him! This question would differ on how annoying your little brother is being. Is he being rude? Excessive? Destructive? Either way, it is your opportunity to rise up as a leader (not aggressively, just let him know that you are older and you have more control without being too bossy) and show him that these things are not allowed in the household. And if all gets desperate, talk to your parents about it.

It is normal for siblings to bicker, that's just the name of the game called growing up and usually it's because you haven't yet found a common ground with your sibling. Try to find something you both like to do and can form a bond over.. Like video games or sports. Once you start to see him as more then just your bratty little brother, you'll start to consider him a friend, someone you can have fun with and laugh with. Make time for you two to do things together or even with your entire family. I'm sure your parents will help if they know you're trying to get along with your brother. And at the end of the day you might realize he might one day be the best friend you never had.

Can you try to put yourself in his place? His actions may bother you, but do your best to imagine why he might be doing the things he does. It's really hard when a younger sibling is annoying or aggressive, but it's possible he may be crying out for attention or support in some way. Ask him about his day and show interest in his activities. Show that you are the older and more mature sibling by putting aside your frustration and being a friend to him. Be an example of the respect you wish he showed you. This is really hard but may help you see more good in your little brother even when he's being difficult.

Its okay to hate some actions that people take, either because you don't agree with their point of view or because you think it's hurtful.
However, nobody grows up wanting to be a mean person, so they have the potential to change.
While I don't always like what people I love do, I make sure that I recognize that they are an individual with their own point of view, and I make sure I'm not assuming their intent.
If they are hurting someone with their actions, I make sure I let them know that. However, hating them as a person would simply dismiss their potential to grow from that action.
If you feel like you cannot forgive his actions, that's okay too. I would still recommend not hating him, as hate can weigh heavily on you and it's just not worth it in the end. Not hating someone is not the same as tolerating someone's hurtful behavior. It is simply acknowledging the situation and choosing to move on from it if there's nothing you can do about it.

Finding a common ground where you can bond and learn more about each other; maybe over a hobbie or interest you both share. For example, if you and your little brother both enjoy a particular movie, invite him to watch it with you and afterwards have a discussion about what parts you liked best or areas the movie could be improved in. Small growths between you guys can possibly change a feeling of hatred towards him and turn into a neutral ground and maybe eventually into a friendship. Good luck with this, hope you guys can find some common ground.

Be patience. Try to speak with your brother when you both are in a good mood. Try to work out your differences respectfully. Discuss one issue at a time. And if it is still hard to get along than maintain space. Maybe with spending time apart you both might have a better chance at patching things up and letting go of the past unpleasant feelings. Try to understand why you don't like him. Have a mediator like your parents to help your relationship. Or someone totally detached from the situation. Especially try to avoid having more conflicts with him.

In your mind, first create a space where you see yourself as stronger, older and wiser than your little brother. When you have strengthened this image, choose to see yourself treating him with compassion, no matter how difficult he is. Acknowledge the pain he has caused you but choose to love him unconditionally anyway. If you manage to do this, you might even be capable of seeing yourself as becoming his warm and protective older sibling. No matter what your little brother has done to hurt you, you can make it better, and the faster you act on it, the easier it is. If you distance yourself from your little brother for a long time, it might get more difficult to reconnect with him. Choose to forgive him right away because that is the fastest way to a peaceful state of mind. When he hurts you or disrupts your peace, create that space again and communicate to him how his behavior is affecting you.

I would say that communication is here and that it would be best to find a way to sit down with him and to try and talk about the current issues you may have with him to come to a mutual understanding. When you are able to come to a mutual understanding, it would be best to try and see how you will be able y to work with eachother instead of against eachother for example maybe trying to spend time with your brother by playing a game could be a small step into learning how to have more positive feelings towards him. Talking to parents can also help as well as you can work together as a family
