And the sad thing is, he's only 8 years old.

His behavior is, hands down, the worst behavior I've ever seen in my life, in such a young child. My parents kind of suck, so I'm sure that is why he is the way he is.

And his behavior crosses the line of the typical "little boy" behavior. It's psychological as well.  

For starters, he has no social skills. Absolutely none. It's almost like he has a severe form of Asperger's, but he doesn't, he's been tested.  
No social skills at all. Every conversation that is started with him, he kills it. He either kills it by arguing everything that comes out of your mouth:

Such as.. (Hey look Nathan, the sky is blue. No actually, it's clear, it's the just the reflection of the water. Well, it looks blue to me. Well, it's not.),
most of the stuff he argues is wrong anyway.
He claims he has friends at school, but I don't believe it. One boy at school personally came up to me and said "Your brother is a freak", and ran away.

On top of that, he is INCREDIBLY self centered and exhausting to be around. I'm constantly afraid that he's going to accidentally kill my elderly Grandmother of stress, because he doesn't know when to stop.

I'm afraid for him, because I didn't think that his behavior could be this bad, and run these deep at such a young age.

If he was older, I'd really, really despise him. Obviously, I can't do that now, because I need to help him. I can't I don't know what to do with him.

And no, once again, it goes far beyond typical little boy bad behavior.

Would your parents be willing to get him a therapist?

Well I don't who taught him that the sky was the relection of the water, because that's the other way around and water isn't eveywhere anyway. But I'd hate to have a little brother like that. I have a 7 year old brother who bullies everyone and lies to everyone and always gets his way, and I thought that was bad. So good luck.

I am now one point closer to ranking up.

Probably not. They don't think he has a problem, but it's clear he does, since he doesn't have many friends, and up until recently, got in trouble almost everyday at school.
He's a really smart kid, though. He has the highest grade in his class. =/

I've met ones that fit the description, but I obviously don't know him. If you think he has a problem, your judgement is better than mine.

You could try talking to one of his teachers, and asking them to suggest therapy to your parents.

my little brother is 9
and he is rude loud and strange
you cant force them to be
anything other than what they are
just be there for him and get to know him
so he can trust you
thats all you can do
and all you should do
your his sibling and so a friend with more of a responsibility
there is so many things he will learn but he
has to learn them in his way
