I am very happy beacause I finally have my own computer. But whenever I want privacy, he doesn't leave me alone. He checks my history, go's on youtube, and told me to not put a password on my laptop. Once when he promised me that he wouldn't go on it, the next day I woke up he was on my laptop. What can I do?

 Just put a password on your computer and tell you're little brother to leave it alone. I understand you want to be close to your brother, but us girls need to be alone sometimes and do our own thing. He told you not to put a password on it? I don't see what gives him the right to tell you otherwise. Just tell him that if he wants to get on and it's okay with you, you'll put in the password for him and let him in for a little bit every once in a while. It gives you more control over your own life and he even can learn you're the older sibling and you're in control of your own stuff. If he says he doesn't like that little compromise, tell him he doesn't have to use your computer. After all it is yours, he can ask for one next year if he wants to wait.

my advice to you would be put a password on the thing. he will get mad but just dont fall for it. 12 year olds tend to get what they want when they act hurt. i know i have a brother thats 12 to. when he ask you to take it off say no and make sure its something he wont guess. he needed to learn that its your and he cant use it just when ever he fills like it..3

 It sounds like your 12 year old brother wants a laptop too. More or less he's a pesky little brother who os getting into his older sister's things. If you want him to stay off your computer then you need to lock it with a password. Hide it somewhere where you know he won't find it. Or ask your parents if they'll buy him one.
