Proverbs 23:13-14

>>652140

Easier said than done, I get yelled enough if I even try to stop his internet. Its ridiculous. It seems like I will have to brick his phone but that will result in either them getting him a new one or just letting him play on his PC all day instead which is as much self-destructive as the phone.

Does he turn violent when his feefees are hurt?

>complacent parents

>spoiled, reclusive, socially retarded kid

Sucks to be raised like that. Get him to join you in outdoor activities. It's easier to instill another habit in place of a bad one than to just get rid of the bad one.

Have you tried taking him to a park to play ball or anything of the sort?

>>652143

He gets angry even for little things and if it something "serious" he does get violent.

>>652148

I'm still recovering myself from the same thing and even if I come way earlier from work it would be awkward and its not like he will ever want to go out. I just don't want him to repeat the same mistakes at as me but not only will he, it will get even worse.

My brother is also 12.

I have been very explicit with my parents that they do not know about the evils of technology as much as me, since I have been born in it.

It is extremely important for the children to not use it during puberty. It will scar and mold their brain for life.

My parents have not completely forbid him from using it as I sugested, because they are afraid to upset him and they truly can't imagine their own lifes without smartphones so they think they would be doing extreme harm that way. When the opposite is true.

What I have found to work is to ask my parents to enforce their authority for him to do things that I also do.

He's joined Muay Thai classes, walking the dog, spending the weekend with the familie, enforcing some curfew for the internet etc. These are things that I also do.

To sum up, my advice is to not expect you'll get what you want without being confrontational with your parents and demanding him to do activities you also do.

>>652149

Outdoor activities and talk to your parents because this will be a problem in the future unless you act now.

Did you even read my posts, I confront them almost every day about it but nothing changes, I'm just one step away from yelling at them.

>>652301

Well, I did yell at my parents. I told you to be confrontational.

Still, you should demand him to do things you also do. Normies can't grasp a concept without personalizing it, so if you're being a hypocrite they'll never listen to you even if you're right.

>>652301

My brother was a spoiled retard. You can't imagine how big of a problem it will become. Your brother will destroy your family if he doesn't fear you or your parents.

The easiest thing to get a kid from tech is force him to do chores to earn the privilege. Make sure does all of them, does his school work, and excercises or plays outside with no tech for at least an hour. EZPZ

>>652135

Well, he ain't your kid. You don't get to tell your parents what to do. Just shrug, turn the other cheek, and pray earnestly for them.

>>652494

Jesus had no kids yet he taught many and used force to remove some.

Your apathy toward your own brother, not even a total stranger, is something I think you should reflect on.

>>652500

OP isn't Jesus. Also, remember that whole "honor thy father and thy mother" thing? Yeah, you don't get to tell your parents what to do. If the have decided what is best for their child, then all any of us can do is turn the other cheek (as JESUS commanded) and pray for them (as JESUS commanded).

>>652135

get the mac address of the smartphone, and wherever you can get near him, either spoof the wifi network or the mobile data network and gaslight his internet. also start doing push updates but with your trojans that'll drive him loopy (you can root the phone and make it not look like anythings happene to get around signing problems). make it so it sounds like god is personally taking over the phone.

>>652135

It's a difficult scenario when parents abandon discipline in favor of, and it's hard to use another word for this, sloth. Your father seems to be the hub of the problem, both as the natural authority figure and as the one most passionately in favor of this poor state of affairs. Having been there myself you may need to present yourself as a kindly advocate for your brother, letting go of your resentments both to better make your case and because it's what God wants. Quietly considering your options and prayer won't steer you wrong here I think.

>>652502

There is more required of parents than to simply have children to honor them.

PS Do not brick the phone. On the one hand it's a wasteful action that you yourself say is futile and really serves no purpose than to act on your unhappy passions, and on the other if you do it and its found out you will wreck your standing in the eyes of your parents.

Allowing his parents to raise a child to be ADHD would be extremely dishonorable. Some people need to be told they suck at parenting.
