I can't get over it.
My brother is 22, turning 23 this fall. And he has been the biggest failure in my family. He's been into drugs and heavy drugs since he was 17. I'm 17 myself and I have watched him slowly descend. He's a complete loser and fails to do anything for himself or others.
Why am I miserable and why don't I act a bit more empathetic?
Well, because quite frankly he has used me and has done every little thing to annoy me everyday. Him and his friends have stolen over 1,000$ worth of stuff from me. Maybe his friends were involved, but I'm counting everything affiliated with him. He's been to jail more times than I can count.
What really irritates me is that he has done absolutely nothing to help himself, and he still talks to the fuck-ups that got him there in the first place. Me and my mom have actively been trying to get him enrolled and focused on college but he won't show any desire to go. I think it's a waste of time, he dropped out of high school in the 10th grade, and he doesn't know much at all. I don't think he is equipped with the knowledge or desire to get close to passing in college. So, it's a waste of money.
He keeps me up at night. He always has both TV's on at night, and he calls and talks to people loudly all night. I bluntly tell him to "shut the fuck up and go to bed" all the time. But his cycle continues. Just a few minutes ago he threw up in the bathroom. He's loud and obnoxious and randomly pops in my room. He's always high on drugs, whether it be Oxycodine, Zanny bars, Coke. Whatever. It's ridiculous and it really bothers me.
I don't know why, but he really pisses me off. Every fucking time he talks to me, he is always lying and I catch him lying all the time. He's always singing stupid rap songs out loud at 1am and pissing me off. He steals everything. He recently stole a flat-screen TV and pawned it. Him and my uncle pawn and steal everything. He drinks all the liquid in my house before I can even get my share. 3 Nights ago I found him filling up two fucking beer mugs full of soda. I ask him why 2 mugs and not 1. And he says "I dunno, I just don't feel like coming back". A bunch of these little things are what gets me pissed.
Ugh, it makes me rage. I'm not going to have this thread be all about me, so Facepunch, are any of you in a similar situation? Please share.
Start working out, kick his ass.
Never been in that situation but your brother sounds like a huge fuckup, don't be like him.
Also: Don't let it get to you. He wants attention most likely.
Kill him.
Having dealt with family members on drugs in the past, there are a few ways you can deal with this problem.
A. Intervention
B. Wait until he's nice and tired, then proceed to beat the shit out of him until he learns his lesson.
C. Wait until he leaves the house and lock him out. It works wonders.
Kill him.

Good cover up there
If you can do something about it, do it.
If you can't do anything about it, don't do anything about it, and try to deal with it.
logic 101

No, I'm the complete opposite.
And, ehh, I don't know whether he wants attention, but I usually avoid him.

I'd love to, but this has been going on for 5 years. Every night. He keeps me up at night, every night. Logic isn't working in this situation.
23 and still in his Mother's house?
Kick him out, fuck it if he gets arrested/killed/whatever, he sounds like a complete douchenut.
go to college
Tell on him. He might call you a tattle teller but if it gets him to sit in the corner, then so be it.

I want him arrested or out of the house.
But my mom is full of air, and just threatens and doesn't do anything else. Sometimes her threats motivate him.. but only for a day or so. He recently got out of jail for a half of a year.

If you mean tell the police, can't really do that with no evidence. And if you mean my parents, they are fully aware. And aren't doing anything other than trying to get him a job and enrolled in college. Which is going absolutely nowhere.
Kick his dumb ass to the curb.
I feel like i've seen this before for some reason.
Find the time and sit down and talk. Talk about him and his habits and try to change his life around.

Intervention.
[QUOTE=Stupideye;21936218]Intervention.[/QUOTE]
Shit, if only somebody would organize that. I can't do it, my parents hardly listen to me at all.
Hit the bitch.
[QUOTE=Super_Poo;21936241]Hit the bitch.[/QUOTE]
Might I add that he is 300 pounds.
And I'm 130. I have no chance.
Poop on his bed.
Convince your parents to give him an ultimatum; Either he mans up or your parents kick him out.

Can't you give him a drug test or something? Prove that he's doing drugs. Set up hidden cameras to catch him stealing shit. If he does drugs at home, record him doing that also. Show the police the evidence, get him arrested.
Convince your parents he is radioactive and he has to be disposed of immediately.

He's on probation and bullshits the drug tests with those system cleaning formulas. And I have no money to get hidden cameras, lol.
Talk. To. Your. Parents.
If they won't do anything about it, there's nothing you can do. Just grin and bear it until you're in college. Buy your own soda, put a lock on your door, ear plugs to sleep, whatever you have to do to deal with it. Sometimes you just have to put up with obnoxious family members. Sounds like you'll only have to deal with it another year or so.
edit: Also, if he really is stealing stuff from [I]you[/I] and not stuff your parents got you, its a matter you could take up with the police (provided that by "stolen" you don't mean "In his room instead of yours." If it's your parent's stuff, take it up with them.

I don't have a door..
:smithicide:
Cut him off completely. If he asks for something, deny him. Throw him on the sidewalk near the rehab center.

Shotgun trap? I dunno what to say about that. To be quite honest, I don't see why you're coming to Facepunch with this. You know the only advice you're going to get is "kill him and rape a child."
