It seems your brother is a little spoilt rich kid with nothing to do but spend money. I don't know what to say since at first it seemed very serious now you're playing it off as another day in the life of Lemurs.

I wrote it when I was very tired. I just meant for that to come across as my fully grown brother seems to have the same level of maturity and mindset as my 12 year old pubescent brother. I talked about my 12 year old brother before in another thread... yeah... but this isn't about him. I was just using him as an example about how my brother acts in a lot of ways. My older brother is an adult. He has SOME of the intelligence of an adult, the manipulative skills of an adult, the sex drive of an adult. As wellas the same personallity, feelings of entitlement, maturity, and impulsive actions you see in boys in their early teens, and children.

The situation is the same, and we are far from rich. I'm just describing how my brother is, people say stuff that I might want to correct them on or inform them on the entire situation.
I wouldn't be writing all this if I didn't think it was outside the realm of "A Day in the Life of Lemurs."
All of this shit is a serious problem and I need serious advice. I also need to seriously be able to talk about it with someone or some people. The nature of the situation would have me rather want to talk to a bunch of strangers and a few buddies to ask for advice and get it off my chest rather than talking to other people my age, definately not my mom or stepdad, my dad doesn't give a shit so not him, and just nobody who I have to be face with. It's hard to explain.

By no means am I saying that this is the reason your brothers as messed up as he is, but I'm fairly sure it's playing a part. From working with some very troubled young boys as a care worker in a boys home i find a lot of them seem to have serious problems with their stepfathers/mothers new boyfriend/etc. I can't begin to tell you what's wrong with your brother, but it definitely sounds like he should seek counselling.
And if you believe he's a danger to himself and/or others, you really need to tell somebody. Whether it be your mother, the police, a social worker, somebody who can help needs to know. Keeping it between you and your brother isn't helping anyone.

I'm not trying to bother anyone. I'm doing what I have to do to hear what other people think about what they would do in such a fucked up situation, and I'm trying to make myself feel a little better by maybe talking about it a little bit.
If it bothers you than just leave it alone, there's no reason for this bullshit. Just leave it alone, please.

He just walked into my room and told me he returned his gun because he said they lied to him about the kind of ammo it takes.
He had a stamp on his hand and I asked him what it was from.
He said Bingo.... Instead of fucking looking for a job he goes out and plays bingo. What, the fuck.

He also blew off a promise he made to a very good friend of his. The son of the guy who's selling the 1961 Gibson SG. To attend a bible study thing with him.
This guy gave my brother a car... he didn't ask for anything in return.
He bought my brother a car and my brother doesn't have enough respect to remember appointments he makes with the guy about things that are important to him.

I never gave his age. I never gave his name, all of this concerns me as well. I have the right to talk about things that affect me and my life. Period.
He's not innocent and I'm going out of my way not to get too personal. It's a mean spirited question and it's purpose is to generate hostility. I resent that.

She just wants to vent, maybe hear a bit of advice that can help her do something or feel better. If she is not talking about YOUR private life just leave it alone... it is her private life and she wishes to talk about it with someone (basically anyone if she is going put up with the jackasses here, me included) So just back off, if you can't see it is a delicate situation then maybe it is a good idea to stop posting in this thread

If your brother is being evicted by your parents and you have reason to believe he may present a threat to yourself or your family upon the presentation of the notice itself in particular, then what course of action is there other than to inform your parents of the situation? I still fail to see the point of asking for advice if you fail to heed any of it in seeking a resolvance to the problem itself. I'm not trying to be condescending and I am truly sympathetic of your situation, but do you see how paradoxical this reasoning is? All the words in the world won't help you if you don't choose to act upon them.

I'm just gonna jump in the "you should warn/tell someone about this" bandwagon that seems to be driving through this thread. Seriously.
Even if he doesn't have the gun anymore, you should still tell someone about this, like your mom or the cops or a counselor or whathaveyou.
And the "having a sherriff give him the eviction note" is also another very good idea. That way a) there's a cop around if shit happens and b) there's a cop around if shit happens. Not even with a gun kind of shit, just any kind of shit, be it yelling, physical abuse, storming into his room and locking the door, etc.
So, ah, to recap what was meant to be a short post: Tell your mum!

He owes my mom money for completely destroying the carpet in his room (by catching it on fire). He got his tax return and went out of his way to avoid my mom so she wouldn't ask him for some payment.
As my mom was telling me earlier, she wouldn't have taken it, but he's such a weasel not to offer it, and to go out of his way to hide the fact that he got one as large as he did and as soon as he did.
He keeps telling me different amounts of what he's spent already and on what. He said he bought a $200 dollar gas voucher out of his $400+ tax return. Then he told me he spent $300 of the money getting his cadillitic converter fixed since it "broke off." Just some examples of his pathological lying.

Especially since I know he's such a liar. I don't know if I can believe him telling me he returned it.

Shit, you're right. He could have thought, "Hey, she might tell mom I have a gun" and told you he'd gotten rid of it. If he's had guns before...wouldn't he know how to get the right kind of ammo for them? That seems a bit odd upon further thought.

I don't know any 12 year olds that write the way Lemunator does, and I honestly don't believe that he really is a 12 year old filipino girl.
Most of the things that you mentioned aren't even that bad. Tthere is nothing wrong with fucking girls with low self esteem, or pissing in a bottle if you can't make it to the bathroom (assuming you're usually drunk), or even making a stupid mistake like setting your floor on fire. You're paying your taxes, that's a start, it means that you've worked in the past year.
I think that you should go to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. If you get help in time, you seem quite intelligent, and I'm sure that you'll be able to make a nice life for yourself.

Uh, she's 14.
Also, her brother isn't 12. He's well over 21.
Did you RTFP? (Do people say that here or is that only on Fark? ...I hope it's not a banned phrase....)
