Question: How to teach a 14 year old kid to like learning? I have a 14 year old brother and he really is a stubborn one. He hasn't shown an interest in education and it's really important that he does... I need serious help in trying to get him back on the right path and not turn out to be a failure... I have tried everything I'm capable of to teach him what's right but he's just addicted to computer games. And if we take away his computer privileges, he watches TV. I need help.. thanks! btw I'm his 19 year old bro. We're the only two in the family and my mom is just too busy with us.

Answer: Try to divert his attention from his interests with books that interest him.  Develop the habit of reading that way.  Also be a friend to him and keep discussing subjects that interests him and taken his confidence and then slowly direct his attention to his studies.
