Is my 19 year old brother allowed to take me to the doctor instead of my parents?
Yes , why not he is old and mature enough to explain it to the doctor about your illness. He can later on explain about the meeting to your parents as what the doctor has said. What medicines needs to be taken if there are any . Have faith in your brother . It seems obvious that you yourself are old enough to understand what the doctor will say. Try to listen to the doctor and tell him exactly about the reason you have come to see him. Your illness . Act as what he prescribes it to you. You require your parents under serious circumstances . Other wise both you and your brother are bound to deal with it . Best of luck .
My 20 year old brother suffers from severe OCD. He has had it for nearly four years & never took therapy seriously. He used to be a bright student, now he’s constantly failing. Me and my parents feel helpless. What do we do?
Some therapists are better than others. Keep trying thing until you find one that works.
I'm a 15 years old girl who got beaten by my 30 years old brother because he said that I'm being disrespectful to him, just now. What should I do?
I think I am quite suitable to answer this question. My sister is of the same age as your and I am going to be 20 years old this Septemer.At present I am in my college, 450 miles away from my home and my family (and my sister too!). I remember the time when I was at home. I used to fight with my sister, and sometimes our fights used to take really dangerous turns. I remember a time, when we fought for some stupid reason. What I remember is that she was watching her ‘any dumb regular television series’ and I asked her to switch the channel to Star Sports as I just wanted to see the live score. She denied and somehow our conversation turned into a fight (I don’t know why!). I remember that I was so angry at that time that I twisted her wrist. I remember that the case was so serious that she had to wear the crepe band for the next 10 days. She stopped talking to me. It made me realize my mistake. I felt a deep pain and I was ready to do anything for her, to reduce her pain. It was difficult for me to see her doing her home work with the wounded wrist. She could not do anything properly for the next 10–15 days and I knew that she was in deep pain, but still, I could do nothing. I felt sorry but didn’t had courage to say it to her. It was after 15–20 days that we started to talk again, normally. Actually I have experienced many such incidents with my sister. Sometimes she got injured and othertimes, I.Its this day, that I miss her so much and I miss those incidents with her. I still can not figure out a way, so as to say her “sorry” for that day. I behaved as a winner that day but actually I felt like a loser at my heart. Its true that we men are like this, we can hide our emotions very easily, we can treat ourselves as a winner very well, we are tough outside but actually very soft, inside.According to me, you should give a chance to your brother. I am sure he must be feeling very upset for the situation. And it was just his anger, which helped him hit you, otherwise no one loves a girl more than his brother (I mean it!). Don’t expect an apology from his side, instead move on with your life and one day you will miss these days.
My 13 year old brother poops his pants everyday?
Sometimes i feel really bad for him because he is ostracized by the other kids in his grade because he smells like fermenting crap. My parents say that he is normal and that he is just going through a phase but this phase has been going on for almost two years now! I think he might be giving in to peer pressure because i have seen some of his friends with poop seeping out of their pants too. How do you think i could stop him from dumping in his pants?
What can I do to help my 16 year old brother with undiagnosed Autism that has all day and night long anger out bursts? (He says it’s because of pain and he has EDS that doctors aren’t treating him for and no one will help him)
I suggest getting very smart about what physical therapy will help him with his EDS, and start him on a regimen — with him. You go first. Show him it’s safe.Since he is autistic, you will have to show him the value — to him! — of doing the PT.The night-time angry outbursts will subside when he realizes that you are helping him and the pain lessens.But there’s something wrong here. Why is he not being diagnosed for the EDS and claimed pain? Money? Uninformed doctors? Parents in denial? No child should be in pain every night with nothing being done to make it less.
My brother has been diagonsed with an advance form of Cancer. He is just 30 years old & the doctor says he has just 1 year to live. What should i do?
I have read this question again and again for the whole day . I begin to write the answer but I will delete it , it's because certain things can't be explained through words . My grandmother had breast cancer and we discovered it in the initial stage itself . She was 70 , when we discovered it , she underwent some surgeries and now she is fine . But for those two months she was afraid , yes she was afraid of death …. she cried to God to let her live . If this is case of a 70 year who after 70 years of age still want live some more time, imagine plight of your brother . He is thirty ..just thirty he might have had some dreams how is rest of his life should be but now his rest of his life is cut short one year.First and foremost thing don't pity him or be sympathetic with him . Atleast not before him . The last thing he need is those .What he needs now is strength . The strength to go through things for the next one year. Make him feel loved . Don't allow him to be swallowed in sadness . Make him enjoy life . He must have had some small small wishes ,try doing it together .Remember it's always easy to tell things are going to be ok but it's very much difficult for the people who is going through it .I wish that he can live past that one year . My regards for your brother . Let's hope.
If I'm 15 and pregnant by a 24 year old?
Please don't tell me I shouldn't have sex with guys this age or not have sex at all. It is not going to change anything, it'll just annoy me but yeah. I missed my period so I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I'm not scared to tell my parents that I'm pregnant at all, I'm just worried about what I'm going to say when they ask who the father is. Because they already know about this 24 year they know we were talking but not having sex and they called the cops and they called him and told him not to talk to me anymore so he blocked me on facebook and I was crying my eyes out. I have no way of even telling him but I want him to be in the child's life, I know he'll want to because he got this 16 year old pregnant and he wants to see the baby but she said no not untill he straightens his life out. But how am I supposed to have him there for the birth and around my house with the baby if my parents can't know because if they do they will surely send him to jail and he would hate me for ever and my child would grow up without a father. What should I do? Please no mean comments, this is serious. Thanks...
Does anyone know how to remove an 18 year old from my insurance.. if your retired military?
Until your daughter turns 19 she is not eligible for individual insurance. I can tell you are not pleased with her recent decisions, but are you sure you want her to be uninsured? - I can understand how you feel, but I'm don't agree with removing her when she has no choices for other coverage. At 19, if she CAN purchase insurance but chooses not to because of lack of money or desire, that's a different story. Just to get more info = call DEERS and tell them "I believe" that your daughter is receiving insurance through her employer and ask how they can drop her. - once you get the paperwork, you can read the specific policy and make an informed decision. Unless it is something specific to Tricare providers, you would normally not be the responsible party for her medical bills not paid through insurance. When you visit a doctor, you have to sign that you are the responsible party for payment (since she would be completing the form, she would be signing this).
