I guess kids don't feel it at this age and he's getting used to it, which I worry, but when I was his age, whenever I would feel dizzy or experience "head cramps" I stopped playing on the computer.

I'm going to see if I can find a lock on his computer. Also, I've told him about a gaming-schedule that he had to follow: play every other day. Well, he does follow that plan but he abuses his time, like he plays for 3 hours straight in one day for example. Not all the time, though. Most of the time, one of us in the family tries to pry his little fingers off the keyboard by yelling and/or disciplining him (hitting, ex.). He almost always ends up crying and says the same thing, "I'm turning it off!"I hate doing that, but my brother just doesn't get time management.
Why has your brother become your responsibility?

Where's your parents?
Thanks for this!
