    You cannot make them engage in anything they don’t want to do. Given their ages, you might be able to pretend to authority over them and force them to participate in something, but you cannot make them like it, and doing so will have the opposite effect of the one you want; it will cause them to resent the activity, and you, and to disengage further.

    About the only chance you have of getting them to engage is to figure out what activity they are interested in, and then supporting their participation in that.

    Where are your parents in all of this? It’s their job to be raising your brothers, not yours.
