Quote From: beany321Ok...I need help to deal with my baby brother. I am 27 the oldes of 3. I do not have a lot of contact with my middle step-brother. My 15 year old brother I have been somewhat close to him. He is totally destroying his life...I think. He has taken my parents car in the middle of the night, been kicked out of school on several occasions for chewing tobacco, today-they caught him smoking pot in the one and only bathroom. He is sooo angry. He cusses them and just acts so disrespectful. I am so beside myself. I don't feel the punishment has been aggressive enough!! He has been raised in church and he know right from wrong. He doesn't care. I am afraid he will hurt them. He has already put his hand on my mom and my step-dad. (He is my half-brother.) I feel something drastic needs to happen but, what?? He is out of control!! I think these are all cries for help!! I need suggestions for my parents. My parents are fighting about in non-stop. What are their next steps?
Help!!
Some teenagers are hard to control. Seriously. They think they know everything and they believe that it won't catch up to them. He doesn't relize what he is doing is wrong because he's a teen. Usually parents just need to ask their child what is wrong? If your brother is not obeying your parents the next step they have is getting help for him. He could be angry about something or he is just doing it for attention. You really never know because us teens these days really don't want to talk about what we are going through. Suggest to your parents to talk to him calmly, have the tell them that is is ok to talk to them. If that doesn't work maybe you could talk to him. You were a teen not to long ago and you should know how hard it's gotten in the world to be labeled as cool or uncool. If he has a temper problem you need to figure out what the main cause is. Or just get him help.
Hope I helped..I love this job =]
