NTA: Enabling bad behavior won’t get you or him anywhere
NTA if he is not behaving correctly, he should not get what he wants (and he definitely should not get away with yelling at you all or misbehaving). I have a 4 years old niece who behaves better than him. Teenager years are difficult but they are no excuse to be an AH. Also, behavior like this does not just happen all of a sudden but it you all keep ignoring the red flags, it can end up badly. I think you and your parents should try to talk to him to make him understand what he is doing and how that behaviour can affect him now and in the future
