5 hrs   confidence: Answerer confidence 5/5
je crie après mon frère / je gueule contre mon frère


Explanation:
"Je crie à mon frère" will be used if the sentence continues, for instance: "'Close the door', I scream at my brother." = "Je crie à mon frère: 'Ferme la porte!'."

You should use "Je crie après mon frère" if you mean "I (constantly) scream at my brother"

"Je gueule contre mon frère" is much less literary and everyday speak (a teenager would probably use this one).

Hope this helps,
