    Hey /adv/ I've got a question for you.

    My brother is a NEET, has been for years. How do I help him no longer be a NEET? I know plenty of you have dealt with, have been or even still are NEETs, so any thing you guys can recommend are great. I will give more information when requested and when the thread gets rolling.

    I'm also brothers with a NEET. There really isn't much you can do to motivate them or help them get the fuck out of the house. If they even have a passing interest in education, Associates degrees are nice, low-hanging fruit for them.

    The only way I got mine out of the damn house was by getting him a manual labor job at my workplace. There have been several times I've tried to get him jobs, but it basically came down to where I did everything up to where I just needed to tell him "Show up here at X time".

    Hmm, the problem with this is that he has been given several jobs before and still nothing. The family has helped him get jobs but he constantly did not show up for work, which led to him getting fired.

    Perhaps we should try again? It gets a little disheartening when he doesn't lift a finger to keep his job.

    I know there are some reformed NEETs, current NEETs, etc on here that can help out.

    1. Stop listening to shitty music.
    2. Put a fire under his ass. Where is he staying? How does he afford food? Entertainment? Take those away or at least make him pay for some/all of it himself.

    1. Music is subjective

    2. He is staying with the folks, who basically pay everything for him and give him food and his sources of entertainment. I'll bring this option up with my folks and see if we can come up with a game plan to "put a fire" under his ass later on tonight.

    One option i can think of off the top of my head is to put a lock on the fridge so he can't get free food anymore.

    Any more ideas. This can even turn into a trolling my brother thread so he gets his shit together.
    >> Crowley 08/06/11(Sat)14:40 No.7242971

    Already tried that, he looses his job. see>>7242650

    people can't be NEET unles there are other people that support them.

    Stop supporting him. Make him pay for food, rent, etc. If he doesn't kick him out. It's that simple

    >1. Music is subjective
    Opinions on music are subjective. Quality is objective. Deadmau5 is shit of the worst kind.

    Oh, so it's your parents. In that case, they better be on the same page as you. They better be willing to be ruthless. Are they willing to kick him out? No? Then he'll never get his shit together.
    It's pretty simple how people work in this regard. Is the person happy with all life needs met? Yes: Then the person has no need to change and will not do so. No: The person will try to make the necessary changes.

    >>7242998

    Understood. I've come up with the idea of locking the fridge up so he can't get food anymore unless he does something to improve his life.

    Another idea to get him to fix his life is possibly taking away his laptop and only giving it to him when he needs to search for jobs.

    One final thing is just punching him in the face everyday until he gets a job or does something to improve his life, but I'm still not to sure about this one.

    I don't know that you could much anon. allow me to list her track record.

    >always got Fs and D's since middle school
    >all kinds of drugs under the sun
    >dropped out of highschool freshman year because she wouldn't show up
    >fails at online classes/refuses to do them
    >just wants to blair ICP and smoke weed all day
    >had 3 or 4 abortions and has probably fucked every sleezy guy in the neighborhood
    >actually takes pride in being white trash
    >hates jews even though she doesn't even know what they are, nor does she even know what the holocost was
    >regularly just screams and refuses to anything anyone asks her to do
    >parents gave up a long time ago and just put with her
    >girlfriend is the only one who actually knocks some shit into her every now and then

    She's just the biggest waste of life I've ever seen.
    >> Crowley 08/06/11(Sat)14:56 No.7243137
    >>7243029

    Understood. It might be my mother that will cause the most harm, because while she does yell at him from time to time, her threats are really empty.

    I've usually taken the stance that he is a grown man and can do what he wants, but now i realized he is a massive man-child and not a grown man.

    >>7243063

    Sounds worse than my brother, though not by much. At least he graduated high school and doesn't get chicks pregnant. He doesn't scream either, he just zones out until you are done screaming at him (almost like he's bored).

    I tend to notice that's a big difference between men and women who are like this.

    Men tend to just be lazy, childish and just be unresponsive/nihlistic.
    Women however will just get loud and do crazy shit until you either give in or manage to intimidate them somehow.

    but I do know how it feels to be a nihlistic lump. And I always find that the best thing to do is to find something I actually give a shit about to knock me back into reality.
    Theoretically, if you find something that your brother truly cares about, and get to focus on it, he may start to change himself as least a bit in persuit of whatever that goal might be.

    just leave him alone for fuck's sake. he went out into the world, saw that he didn't like it and now he's doing what makes him at least consistently satisfied

    A NEET is someone who's just too lazy to do anything but leech of their parents. Sounds like your sister-in-law is just a few pills away from being a hobo or hooker. She's beyond help.

    All he cares about is smoking weed, weed law reform, and anime.

    I've talked with him once about marijuana reform and suggested maybe, if he's that passionate about it that he actually do some legal work pertaining to it. He just shrugged it off.

    I'll post updates here on /adv/ once i begin implementing the "put the fire under his ass" plan to show if its working or not.

    Just because he doesn't like the world doesn't give him the right to leech off of others who work in it to support him. No matter how much he doesn't like the world, he still lives in it and cannot withdraw from it.

    I and my family have let him do this for far too long. It's time to fix this.

    Introduce him to /g/. Hikkis and neets that watch anime have an affinity towards techloligy. He can probably be IT or something. Warning: he might become pedo.

    You should just convince you're gf's sister to go into the porn industry. That way you can get her out of your hair and she can put her own food on the table.

    Just show her how much those pornstars are getting paid and all the bling and huge houses they lounge around in. Once she's off to the san fernando valley, you can sit back and laugh at her foolish ass.

    LOL a "NEET"? I had to look it up too. Who fucking coined this term?

    It was obviously someone that was going to back to school and sick of being called out for not having a job and just trying to distinguish themselves in some way from the hordes of other losers and unemployed. You're in education/training? Grats I guess. You're still unemployed and lower tier right now.

    I've been a NEET for about 8 months right now and it's fucking depressing. I seriously have no idea what to do in my life.

    I've been thinking of finding some inhabited island and survive for as long as possible there.

    It's pretty much his parents fault. My parents provided me with only food and shelter. Durng my second year of high school I was sick of not having any decent clothes, the newest video games and extra food so I went out and got a part time job. Yeah working sucks but I would of been kicked out of my house long ago if I didn't.
