-- Posted by Anonymous at 9:03 am on Dec. 30, 2008 So when I am over at my boyfriends house I notice that his brother (who is 4 years younger) is really mad all the time. He hates going anywhere with his family and when I am in the car with them going anywhere he just sits there silently and will randomly look at my boyfriend and say I'm gonna kill you. He never talks to me or says hi to me when I get there. So I thought you know..maybe he is jealous. But last night I was talking to my boyfriend and he said that his brother use to be all nice and sweet and talked and hung out with him. But over the past few months the good started getting smaller and the bad started getting bigger. He get violently angry and threatens my boyfriend when his parents aren't home (and I mean with like hockey sticks, knives and scissors.) He is always sleeping over at his friends house and he is always being really lazy. (playing video games or sleeping) he has no active life. Also, he will sleep from like 10:00PM to 3:00PM the next day. His behavior I have noticed has gotten worse. What could be the cause of this? If not drugs what? -- Posted by Moatilliata at 9:04 am on Dec. 30, 2008 puberty? -- Posted by Monroe at 9:04 am on Dec. 30, 2008 He could be on steroids if he's on any sort of sports team, but...puberty, most likely. Every guy is different when they go through it. -- Posted by Miss Vanity at 9:04 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Hormones? -- Posted by diana456 at 9:05 am on Dec. 30, 2008 maybe -- Posted by DarkSunshine at 9:05 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Umm I don't know much about hard drugs but It could be that, or some type of depression maybe? Or something could have happened in his life and he just hasn't told anyone about it -- Posted by akSamiRae at 9:06 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Mybe something horible happend to him. Thats what happend to me. -- Posted by meow666 at 9:07 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Puberty -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:07 am on Dec. 30, 2008 what happened to you...? -- Posted by blueelectricguitar at 9:11 am on Dec. 30, 2008 It's my brother! lol. Seriously. I think it's just puberty. My brother seems to be doing that atm. Sits on the computer all day, lazy, angry a lot. He sounds a bit unhappy tho. But I don't think he's on drugs. xxx -- Posted by XTCofGOLD at 9:13 am on Dec. 30, 2008 maybe something happened to him? my 8 year old nephew was the same. he was a sweetheart, then his dad left for iraq. when his dad was gone, he slowly started misbehaving more and more, and now he's a little shit. -- Posted by Presario at 9:16 am on Dec. 30, 2008 This COULD be a sign of drugs, mainly weed or it also could be liqour. The other thing going through my mind for options is the slight chance of depression. There are things he'd prefer to do than go out with the family, something that's driving him crazy if he doesn't have it and I'm guessing alcohol or weed. The anger issues could be triggered by bullying or anything like that; It happened too me. -- Posted by Wilder at 9:30 am on Dec. 30, 2008 You've pretty much described what happens to a boy during puberty. So, as with previous posters, my initial suspicion is that. -- Posted by i r sekz at 11:37 am on Dec. 30, 2008 Its drugs, and his drug of choice are hormones. -- Posted by Xusk at 10:01 am on Jan. 2, 2009 So he's mad all the time and you think drugs, which get you high(usually happy) is the cause??? Maybe with "antidepressants" but come on now, built up anger could be the cause, being picked on at school, being molested, the list goes on. Puberty though, that just makes you rebeleous, not hate the world. There's a cause that im sure isn't being seen and since your not in his world, you wouldn't know.
