So I'm a 16-year-old dude and our family is a happy family! I have a 14-year-old brother who is, well, "ruining" his life. We come from Syria, but we had to migrate to Canada because of the war. Back in Syria, my brother was an excellent student who got 90+ in all his subjects. However, since we arrived to Canada, his behaviour dramatically changed. He now hates studying and never studies, his grades are all in the 50's or he passes with a 60 in some subjects. This is very weird and my parents and I have no idea what to do He's kinda addicted to video games, but when my parents remove the console/laptop he plays on, he just sits there in the room(with his books and school work in front of him) but he keeps looking at the walls without saying a word. He does this for hours, then he says that he studied (Big Bruh) He also lies about his grade by saying that he's getting excellent results and all, but he ends up getting 50's Whenever we try to ask why he lied about his academic performance, he responds by saying " Because I'm afraid you'll scream at me" My parents are so calm and they don't scream at us, I tell them if I get a bad grade and they don't get mad or scream at me or anything. He also lies about his homework. He goes to school with undone homework, his teachers ask for a signature, then he does the homework before going home to lie to my parents, he says that he did his work but the teacher didn't accept it. We discovered this when my mon went to talk to his teacher during the parental meeting, and his teacher literally said " Your son is a liar, he never does his homework in time" (Massive Bruh) Here where I live, they offer failing students to pass their year by going to summer class, he went there and still failed. During the whole course, he wasn't allowed to play video games, so as I said before, he sits in the room and looks around him for like at least 2 hours and he never complains about being grounded. End result: he failed his summer class My parents have no idea what do to, they only speak a little French and Arabic, so it's me who translates everything and helps them in their life here in Canada since we arrived in 2016. I decided to do this because I know that migrating was a very big deal and my parents needed my help, so I changedfor the better,but my brother did the exact opposite. He's also become so stubborn and he gets angry very easily. School starts in two days and my parents are thinking of removing the Xbox we have during school days(which means I don't get to play either, but I don't mind it if tge thing works). However, I think that this solution is not gonna do much good since they tried it for 3 weeks during the summer class and it did nothing. When we ask him why he doesn't wanna study, he says " My brain doesn't want to learn or study, what can I do about it?"( OOOF) So, please people, give me any solutions to this because he wasn't like this and he doesn't care anymore. Sorry if you find any mistakes, as English is my 3rd language. Thank you.
TL;DR: Brother's academic performance is horrible since we migrated to Canada and he lies aboit his grades and even grounding him didn't work because he'd sit silently looking at the walls and we don't know what to do.
