I am the youngest brother of my four person family. (Mom, dad, brother and me).

He gets me in trouble with my parents (and lies about me) making me seem like the bad guy.

Yet without him, there's an emptiness in the house.

He has ADHD, so he gets a bit more attention than me. Apparently he's allowed to call me an idiot (I GO TO A FREAKIN' GIFTED ACADEMY) to feel better about himself.

I cannot talk about this to mom or dad, they don't believe me.

I have no evidence or proof and no way to acquire it.

:(

I am the youngest of 4 boys and they all kind of pick at me. Tease me and things, but I don't let it bother me. So they don't do it as much. Have you tried ignoring it when he says things? The part about getting you in trouble I don't have. Get into enough on my own. Sorry I can't help you on that part

I know this isn't really advice, but that's how most brothers are. It's a faux-toughness to, I don't know, test their masculinity. I used to tease/beat on my brother when we were really young, but I grew out of it by the time I was 8/9. We're good friends now, though. The best thing you can do is talk to either your brother, your parents, or all of them. If you tell them it's serious and it hurts your feelings, they should do something about it.

XD You don't think I've tried that?

They'll never believe me.

If you tried to do it the democratic and rational way and it didn't work, try the harsh way then, and do the same to him. His ADHD isn't an excuse to treat you that way.

The way you describe things, that there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, you've tried everything... you're stuck with the situation and you'll just have to tough it out. Hopefully he'll grow out of it.

I would just tough it out if I were you, or discover the root of the problem with your brother. It sounds to me like he might be jealous of you.
