Your brother is just growing up,soon he's going to be sneaking out the house like the rest of us pre-teens.but you`re just 6 so you might not know what he's going through at his age.you can't have him all the time.MY little cousin is about your age and looks up to me,but when our whole family gets together i dont stay with the little kids anymore i stay with the older ones that i grew up with before he came along.

Your brother really should stay physically active and spend less time playing the gameboy or whatever it is. He should be playing outside, basketball, football, or dodge ball...whatever ball game is fine. Talk to Mom, and see if she can maybe limit is gameboy time. Maybe take it away something and send him outside to play. Maybe he can help your parents mow the lawn or rake leaves and take out the garbage...stuff like that. Keep him busy! Please tell Mom to help because it can get much worse! Then it may become a health issue.
Good luck and don't give up on him. Take care

lisen i can help u. what u should do is try first to talk to him. if that dosent help, talk to ur parents! they should see what is going on and cut down on how long he plays ps2. i got one for x mass this year, but play it like once a week because i play college basketball and soccer. It should be a family thing, not just ur brothers thing.

just leave him alone, he's doing what he finds fun now. if you wanna spend more time with him, maybe you should start playing playstaion with him.

shay you have to keep encouraging your brother to play with you. Perhaps there is something physical that he knows how to do that you don't..... make him feel important by aking him to teach you how...

Sounds just like me. Actually, I got a Playstation for my birthday about 2 years ago. I used to like to go outside and play, ride my bike, I used to play soccer. Now i don't do any of that stuff anymore. I just watch tv and eat and I gained a lot of weight since then.
