Dear Teen Lives,

The Top 3 Annoying Things My Little Brother Does

Number 1 Thinks he knows everything about everything

My friends are sitting in my living room and we’re chatting about music or films. In comes my little brother. Does he play with his toys or watch some kids’ TV programme? No! He starts talking about hip-hop! He thinks he knows everything because he watches a few videos on the internet. It’s the same with fashion! He hasn’t even got a hoodie or a baseball cap! He wears shorts and a striped T-shirt most of the time!

Number 2 Always wants to do what I want to do

Every time I play football in the park with my friends, he wants to come. Mum tells me to take him so he can ride his bike. Unfortunately, there aren’t any swings there. Instead, he joins in our game and we can’t play properly because he starts crying if we take the ball off him.

Number 3 Never listens when I tell him what to do

I’m not a bossy or rude person. In fact, I think I’m kind and like doing things for other people. But sometimes I need to tell my little brother what to do for his own safety. Like when he’s messing about in the road and he starts shouting because I tell him not to.

I love him, but it’s so tiring having a brother like him!

Where does Archie talk with his friends?
