My annoying little 12-year-old brother

My little brother keeps annoying me, and when I say he should act normally he says you don't act normal either and then he comes with some crazy not even fully true thing I did years ago. How he annoys me? Well, a long lists awaits.. he uses words to call me that are used for people younger that me (ie girly (a somewhat translated example, since I'm from the Netherlands)), he says the same word over and over again to every question (like yes, or no), or he starts to sing with a voice that could make the birds drop from the roof, or he makes irritating noises (which hurt my ears and inside of me), he moves really weird, he talks with a weird voice, or he shows too much of himself (and he knows no one here doesn't want to see that), he calls my college friends stupid, dumb people, he thinks I'm wasting my time talking on IM to Revorians, he walks in his pyjama's all day in the weekend and that kinda smells a bit, etc. Almost the only thing he didn't do is physically harm me, and I hope he never will (because he is stronger than I am, well at least I think he is). My dad says I should just ignore him, but that really is not as easy as it sounds. Today is the last day of the 5 of us (my mum, dad, little sister, little brother and me) together before they'll go on a 2 week holiday to Italy. I just wanted to have a nice day together, before I'll miss them for 2 weeks and I'll be drowning myself to silence .
Apparently that was not in it . So today I kind of got mad, because yesterday he annoyed me as well (by calling my boyfriend a name which over here IMO is used for 2 people at primary school who are friends, not for students who know each other for some years). Today he did something with the last cookie (it sounds all pretty stupid afterwards eh), while I wanted that cookie too, so my idea was to split it into 2 parts. Instead he goes sniffing it and takes it into his arms etc. I do have a weird brother . I'm not that weird then .
Anyway, I'm glad I could tell this here. I feel a little better now, though I'm still mad. I am a forgiving person, but if someone goes too far, I don't forgive him. Years ago my little brother destroyed the candle I worked so hard on to make, and I haven't forgiven him that. Also, my little brother never ever apologises for anything (not for the candle either). At least if he'd said sorry, it would have made a difference.
I'm a little afraid that it might go wrong someday, either he will do something physically, or I might not be able to control my temper and hurt him (I do too have my limits ). Really, if I'm really mad, I can be stronger than I think.
I just hope he stops, but I don't think he will. I've told him so many times I'm sick of this, but he doesn't listen. He hardly takes any authority from dad, so definately not from me (as if anyone ever did, except for the dogs ).
Wow, you're not going to believe this. My brother just came into my room and said he was sorry, then he asked me to look up something for his game (apparenly he doesn't know where to find walkthoughs). I'm wondering whether he mend it, 'cause he can be kind of a slimy person (my dictionary doesn't know this word), I mean often he says things just because he wants something done.
Well, thanks for reading (if you read your way all through here ), and if anyone has some tips or advice (I haven't heard of before, since I already talked to some people), or been in a similar situation (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), you can say so here (but you don't have to ).

I think 99% of the more common people on Revora have experienced what you are going through. Plus he's your brother and a Brothers goal is to irritate their sister. I know i do

Why does this sound so wrong?Just whack him one every now and then
ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

Seriously though, i can understand you find it irritating, but when your brother knows how to get attention from you he will continue to do it. If you ignore it he will have to find other ways to get attention from you. Thats all it is, attention. If you ignore the bad things and only acknowledge him when hes nice and communicative then he might begin to subconsciously use nicer ways to gain your attention. Otherwise, get a lock on your bedroom door. Your 19, need some private space of your own. Ask your mother or father for a lock if you can't handle your little brother.

I think it's a good idea not to get angry too soon, so you'd be extra scary if you do. I know my brother (even if he's younger) gets angry all the time, which makes that it has no effect at all on me.

Then you should know that my fist would probably hurt him not much, I'm much stronger in my legs .Blaat, look at your hand. No clench it as tight as you can. You now have a weapon called a fist, use it wisely
I already do have a bedroom lock, but there are some times that I can't avoid my brother (usually during lunch and dinner, or when we must have some family-time according to my mum). I don't see him that much during the day, since I'm always in my room (mostly behind the PC ). But when I see him, he usually annoys me, he seems to have forgotten I'm his sister (well one of the two) that he can have fun with. It is true that lately he has spend much more time with my sister
Usually after I'm really mad, I lock the door (even if it's just keeping them from come in and harm me, I'm sometimes afraid of that though I don't know the reason, since they've never really physically harmed me (well not that I know of)).
Thanks you all for replying and cheering me up .

And don't worry, he should grow out of it in 3 or 4 years time

1) Insults. Particularly of the ilk: "Are you REALLY as stupid as you act?"
2) Knee/Foot in groin. (as Tom has mentioned)
3) Ignore.
almost everybody up to the age of 15 exists to irritate.

I never mentioned that, you twisted my words. I said "hit him where it hurts" I meant the nose, silly. I'm not that cruel

Though I think he might hit me then, and he is stronger and I'm more sensitive.
How come I wasn't annoying from 12 to 15 Well not more annoying than I am now .
Thanks, all of you .

Seriously, the best way to get rid of these "people?" is to take pictures of them in those moronic stances. Then you can blackmail them about it the rest of your lifetime.
Oh, and of course, get a blunt weapon and beat the fuck out of him if he gets too dense. My guess is a golf club is good enough.
