I want to tell my brother to shut up every time he coughs
Is he that annoying? Why do you need to shut him up?
It gets on my nerves especially when he does it all the time.
You can't tell him what to do. He can't help it if he coughs.
The best way to shut him up is to turn around and smack him.
I believe that violence is not the answer, it could even make his condition worse. How would you feel if you were sick and couldn't help to cough, only to get hit? How about trying to make him get better soon instead of trying to hurt him?
