Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : My younger brother is 19 years old and not currently working or studying, we both live at home.

I pay for the internet in the household and I'm IT savvy so I'm unofficially in charge of all the technology in the house, if anything breaks or if there's a problem with the ISP I handle it. Due to this I have sole access to the modem control panel.

My brother has shown symptoms of computer/internet dependency for the past few years, he no longer has any hobbies or diversions outside of whatever he can access on his PC. I recognise these symptoms because I was once in the same position as him at the same age, which lead to a series of unfortunate events that I do not want him to repeat. 

This dependency is also sapping his ambition to do something with his life, as mentioned before he doesn't want to study or work and he has no plans to. I've tried helping him directly but he has threatened to run away if I continued bugging him about it. 

The best I've been able to do without causing mayhem is limiting his access to the internet during the day and early morning. I do this through the aforementioned modem control panel. The agreement we have is if he helps out around the house or does something during the day, I give him all day access.

His friends whom I also know have commonly stated that I'm being unfair and abusive. I'm worried that they're right and I've been overstepping my bounds as his brother. My brother has also been noticably distant toward me for a long time now, and it's starting to hurt. I'm worried that I'm being a hypocrite since I was essentially the same has him when I was younger, but I just don't want him to go through what I did.

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
