Dear Dr. Know,

    My brother is going to be 1l and I am 14. My brother and I always get into fights. Whenever he does something wrong like hitting me, messing my room or taking my toys, he never gets in trouble. But when I do this kind of thing, I'm always grounded and it's not fair.

    I tried talking to my parents about this and all they said was that they would try harder. However, it has never happened. I don't know what to do. I sometimes just try to get on the computer. My brother starts saying that he wants to use the computer even though we have three computers in the house. But all that my dad says is to get off only for 30 minutes. I keep telling him that he can use the computer downstairs but he complains（抱怨）that he is too scared.

    I've talked to my friends about this and they don't know what to say. I've tried talking to him and being nice to him but it doesn't work. He just doesn't stop. He's making my life terrible! My dream is to have an understanding brother. What should I do for that?

    Help me, please!
