Dear Blake,
I’m 15 years old and I am enraged with my 12 year old brother. I set up a camera in my room and found out he has been sneaking in, reading my diary. I haven’t confronted him yet, but I have him on tape. I am fuming! So how should handle this?
Signed, Clara

Dear Clara,
I understand your anger due to your privacy being violated. If that nosey little punk wants to read your diary, then give him some entries that’ll make his hair stand on end. For example, write that you plan on poisoning one of your teachers at school for giving you a lower grade than you deserved. Give some details on how much you like listening to music over your best friend’s house, while each of you goes through a line of cocaine. Let him read about your ambitious side, as you pen your plans to secretly get a summer job at an escort service. But if you really want to give him something memorable, write down how difficult it is to control your suppressed rage, and you regularly fantasize about chopping people up into pieces with an axe. Hide in your closet when he thinks you’re not there, and then leap out with a crazed look on your face carrying an axe, as he’s leafing through your diary. Keep in mind that he might be so terrified, that he might have a heart attack. If he does and you know CPR, you can attempt to revive him, but I doubt if you’re legally obligated to make the effort. I hope this helps.
Blake
