My brother is 13 and although he is not as bad as a lot of people I have heard about, he can be very ungrateful and it causes a lot of arguments and talks which never seem to help.
Everything my mum does for him, he sees it as something she is 'supposed' to do, so he's never grateful for it and if she does one little thing wrong, he has a massive tantrum about it.
He is so ungrateful about his position in life as well. He gets really angry because he doesn't have a fast metabolism so has to work a teeny bit harder to keep fit, and doesn't see that he has so many advantages over other people. He always complaining, living in self pity, and doesn't do a single thing to make his situation better. If he's not doing too well in a test, and my mum tells him to work a bit harder, he'll say 'oh no one works that hard, no one revises why should I?'
And today, he asked that would death be better than his life (in a casual manner, not in a suicidal way, sort of contemplatory because he admitted that he's generally happy) purely because in death you don't really feel anything. I tried to tell him that you can you strive for happiness but he said happiness is boring and I was like wtf so not feeling anything is better than happiness?
Anyway so I am a completely different person to him so I can't understand his point of view one single bit. I was wondering if anyone did and could enlighten me as to whether I should be worried about his attitude in life? I love my brother very much, he has many good qualities but I'm just worried about him because I think he seems very purposeless and doesn't even WANT to be happy?
Put the internet to work for you.
