I think that AngéliqueArnauld is right about drugs/sex or reckless behavior.

"You tell mum, I'll break your neck, she's already a nervous wreck,"

That a sibling found him doing something bad and he is warning them not to tell. The mother is stressed about the family.

"I don't do it every day, It doesn't hurt me anyway,"

doing drugs. Telling the sibling not to worry about him.

"Why are you so mean to me? you'll regret eventually,"

not quite sure, i think its the sibling is saying that they will tell, he is saying that the sibling is being mean and will regret it. "you watch way too much TV"

he is saying that TV makes it seem worse than it actually is

"I remember my first time, I knew I had to cross the line, I went home I cried alot, I didn't think that I'd get caught,"

explaining what happened during his first time doing it. After he did it he regretted what he did. Kept doing it because he didn't think he would get caught.

"I'll never be like you, No matter what you do."

the sibling is telling that he will never be like the guy.
