Is it normal for my brother cries because of everything

9 Comments

My twin brother, who has cried over ten times in the last couple of days is starting to bug me. we are teenagers so you would think that he had to have passed over the time period where he cries. Even the littlest thing will set off of waterworks.Along with his crying he is also terrible aggresive towards anything that is remotly threatening.

My parents hasnt done anything to stop this crying thing except for yelling and screaming at him to shut up and grow up. I need ideas that wont make him hate me more and to get him to stop crying.

P.S- he has been to 3 different therapist and all that has done is make it worst.

    YOUR PARENTS ARE YELLING AT HIM?!?!
    WTF...that might be the worst thing to do in this situation. and bringing him to the therapist makes him think he's wack. BTW, if he knows you're posting this on the internet, that will make him KNOW he's wack. give the guy some space.

    Maybe just try accepting him and when he is emotionally volatile, give him space. If you are not sure how to make it better, and you can't control his emotions, you can try not to make it worse. I don't think, for example, your parents yelling at and humiliating him helps.

    Your parents yelling at him is most likely worsening the situation. Have you ever asked him why he cries? Give him some space and try to be more understanding. For all you know, something traumatic could've happened to him.

    I think you should give him some space but also keep a close eye on him. If he's this depressed he might do something to harm himself or others. Protect him.

    Your parents' yelling and put downs definitely do not help in the slightest. It probably worsens things.

    Don't try to fix it - you can't. As Ollieo said, give him space and try not to lose your head when it bugs you. Since you can see things with a calmer, more reasonable eye, you can be a calming influence by not getting involved with all the drama. I really feel for him, because I know that I can be unreasonable too. I have trouble with controlling my anger and it makes me act stupidly.

    Maybe the type of therapy isn't right for him and he needs a completely different approach. Have you asked him why he cries? What sort of things set him off?
