Default his way

Dear Teachers,

A. My brother and I are just 16 months apart. He’s a little brat and always gets his way.
- “he always gets his way” means “he always gets what he wants”, right?

B. There differently has to be something done before he really freaks out on you and hurts you bad.
- What does “freak out on you” mean?

Thanks a million

Namsteven

Absolutely right

He loses control and hits out at you.

I've made a couple of minor changes to make this sentence clearer.

Thanks a million
