text: 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. 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.
