Bluntness on "Additional info" and resume?

So I was advised on here to explain that I wasn’t able to be involved in anything in 9th and 10th grade due to having to take care of the house and my brother from the time I got home until 1 a.m. on the additional info section. Do I just come right out and say that or what?

And also, I want to put a resume as well. Do I make it like a regular job resume with an objective and everything? And is it okay if I re-list what’s already on the EC section of the common app and elaborate there or should I only put other ECs besides the ones already mentioned?
