My (22F) little brother's (15M) video game addiction is making me resentful of my family.

Nah. So I'm in a similar situation- sibling is much younger and I did the whole good grades in school/grad school etc job thing. Meanwhile my sister hated school and took 2 extra years to graduate highschool. Not because she was struggling with the difficulty but bc she did not care AT ALL but my mom forced it. You know what? She is doing fine. She is happy and makes okay money and it's totally fine. She has always had major issues with authority and discipline and trying to make her conform to what we all want for her would never work.

Your brother is 15 and clearly isn't about to turn shit around in time to graduate with amazing grades and does not sound like college material (and remember if he decides he does care and wants to go to college in 10 years he can get into community College with a GED and be fine). He is going to have a tough road probably with the discipline issues but your not going to be able to change that. What you do have to recognize is his life isn't ruined even if he fails high school and gets a GED. There are so many options besides college.
