Um yea he's addicted to his computer. And if your parents "don't want to make him mad" that's a problem as well. First you NEED to convince your parents that it's ok if he get's mad. He's 11 not 5 he should know how to deal with not getting what he wants. If it's REALLY bad and your parents don't do anything, hide the charger!!!!!!! Don't take the laptop away cause you'll look really bad and jealous. If and only if you're parents refuse to agree with you, take away the laptop charger. If all else fails then you do something about it. Obviously you love your brother and don't want him being a computer addict.

Unfortunately these days most kids are like that.thats coming from me who's 15.as for your mini bro I'd say he is addicted.however that being said, most children are.it annoys me to see these 4-10 year olds staring at an LCD screen All day unaware of there surroundings.ofi were you I'd hide up his lap top.be strong with him and don't give in.instead take him out fishing,its exciting and hell learn about nature

Yes, I would say he is addicted. You cant let him boss your parents around and do what he wants. Your parents should have control of him.

OK, your brother is addicted, it isn't your problem. Move on and take care of yourself.
