Well, I'll go ahead and dissect this one:

i abserlotly hate my step father & always take it out on my younger brother to get my mothers attention. I dont like being this way but its not what i chose for myself i am just like that

I'm calling BS on this one. 

That's an excuse.  Unless you have some kind of neurological disorder like ADD/ADHD, an autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, ODD, conduct disorder, or something else of that sort, you are choosing your behavior. 

I used anger to get attention as well when I was in my teens.  More info:

Either way, I chose my actions and I chose the consequences to that behavior. 

If you have issues with attention, then you need to think about whether or not you really like yourself.  Ask yourself:

1) Why do I hate my step-father?  Is he trying to replace my real father?  Am I angry at my real father, but taking it out on him?  Is Mom paying too much attention to him and not enough attention to us?  Or is it only me that I'm concerned with, as opposed to us?

2) What are my good qualities?  What am I good at?  What do I like to do?  What do I have to offer to the people around me?

3) Am I really mad at my brother?  Or am I mad at myself, but am taking it out on him?  (when you have an undesirable quality about yourself, but instead, blame someone else for it, that's called projection)

However, on some level, you do seem to realize that what you're doing is wrong, considering that you said that you need to stop before you actually get yourself killed.

If you really do feel that your actions may threaten your life, you need to talk to a counselor: school counselor, therapist, somebody.
