my brother is 11 years old and has his own laptop (hes spoiled) he likes to play games on it all day. when he wakes up pat 8am he starts playing on it. the only time hell stop is when he needs to use teh bathroom. hell eat while playing too. He wont do his work until my dad yells at him. my brother wont even answer me if i talk to him while hes playing on it. And when i do get his attention hell just tell me to leave him only :( i want to play soccer or do something outside but he never wants to. I told my parents about a 1 hour a day rule for him, but they say they dont want to make him mad...please help..is my brother addicted to computers?? hes only 11...what can i do? Please answer

Update:

@irollmorecake-no his friends live too far away. and even when he does go to a friends house he takes his laptop with him.

  • Your parents are neglecting your little brother.. He sounds like he needs to go outside and play. Does he have friends that live in the neighborhood? Perhaps they can persuade him to have fun outside.
