How can I make my younger brother understand the importance of education and the sense of responsibility?
My brother was a great student till the 8th standard. He always stood 1st in his class.
(firmenpresse) - In the 9th standard he got into the company of bad friends (a bunch of failures who acted as if it was cool to get low marks or even flunk). His friends influenced him to such a great extent that he took a complete 180 degrees. He stopped studying, completely. Our parents and I tried desperately to make him understand that he is going on the wrong path but he did not listen. In the 10th standard, my parents scolded him a lot before the board exams (he was not studying for the board exams either). We somehow managed to get him to study in the last month before the exams and he managed to get good marks (he is intelligent, no doubt).
When he got into the 11th standard, he got worse. He started bunking tuition too. He always had an excuse to not study. All his time was spent with his "friends". He marks in the school exams got considerably low. He was indifferent.
He is now in the 12th standard. He wants to get into engineering but with that attitude, I don't think its possible. To get into an engineering college, he has to prepare well for the entrance exams. If he gets poor marks in the entrance exams, he will have to study at a bad college. He is even willing to do that. He simply doesn't care. My family is not financially very good. That makes it all the more important for my brother to understand the responsibility he has towards his family and that he should study hard to make a good career.
We have been trying constantly to make him understand the importance of education and that if he continues this way, he will end up nowhere. We have also been trying to make him understand that there will come a point of time when he will regret not having studied in his school days. That doesn't bother him either.
It has become really hard to deal with him now. He doesn't listen to anyone. He talks back and shouts at all of us. Its only his "friends", who get the "good" treatment. I know that this is how teenagers usually behave but in his case, it has gone too far. He is indifferent to whatever anyone says to/about him. He doesn't want to change at all.
We have never denied him anything. He has always got what he wanted. He cannot name a single thing that he asked my parents for and my parents did not give him. In my opinion, he is a spoilt brat.
The competition in India is very high and he does not understand that he might just end up nowhere if he continues this way.
Additional details: He has always been overconfident. He is indifferent to almost everything/everyone. I think he has this belief that we are trying to control him and he doesn't want to be controlled. He has a tendency to negate people. He does not ever learn from past mistakes. He has already made threats of leaving the house and committing suicide on being constantly told to study and change his group of friends.
