I'm not sure if I am aloud to say this kind of stuff on here. But I need to tell someone cause it's been killing me latly.
Ok. My brother is a HUGE druggy and is killing himself. He drinks, sniffs, smokes everything. It really makes me sad and upset. I stopped talking to him, Jonathan (17 yrs old), about a year ago. Well, when all of his freinds come over of course my little brother Joshua wants to hang out with the cool highschoolers. Well Joshua is starting to do some of the things Jonathan does. I know Jonathan ruined his life but why does he have to do it to Joshua (13 yrs old)? Uggh, And my mom doesn't do a thing about it. Why? Cause she is trying to be there friends not there mom. Now me and my mom are not close, we barly talk in fact and I don't talk to my lil bro to much either. My question is how can I get it across to my mom that she is ruining Joshua's life by letting this go on?? And how can I get it across to Josh that he is ruining his life by doing this stuff?? I figured he would know as Jonathan almost died last year in a car accident in which the driver sniffed something fell un contiouse and hit a tree. He also was on probation for a year and on house arrest for 6 months. I know, that I will NEVER try drugs just because of the way it has ruined my brothers lives. But I want to do something to Stop Joshua from doing these things. He is the smartest person I know and can do SO much with his life, but if throwing it all away to get high once or twice. If things like this go on his perminit record it will not look good. I'm worried about his future. :(
Anyone know how I can aproach a almost complete stranger and tell her these things? I'm worried she A.) Wont beleave me or B.) Will tell both my brothers I'm the one who told on them, now I don't mind them being mad at me but Jonathan can get a tid bit physical sometimes.
I'm tierd of living like this. I just wish somtimes I could get him out of my life.
