Do I have to worry when my brother is smoking?
YES - ABSOLUTELY WORRY AND GET INVOLVED!My husband and I just got back from a family funeral for his brother. His brother TIM started smoking when he was a teenager and never stopped, he died at age 58 from lung cancer, which had spread to his entire body.This man had his whole life ahead of him, he was engaged to be married, he already had children and grandchildren and a girlfriend of 20 years. They had a house and mortgage, along with all the other expenses required to run a home.This man was 58 years old !!!That may seem old to a young person, but to a 50 year old person, 58 is still young enough to enjoy life.Talk to your brother, he may be smoking to look cool or hang with his friends or simply peer pressure. ALL those reasons are STUPID!Ask him what his plans are for the future and tell him that 75% of people who smoke, end up with some type of smoking related illness between 40 - 60 yrs old.Ask yourself if you are prepared to attend your brothers funeral at age 58 and then do whatever you need to do - to get him to STOP SMOKING !
Should I tell my mom my brother is smoking weed?
Ok, so I just got home from the gym and walked into my bathroom, which connects to my brother's room. My brother is 17, about to be 18 this Saturday. I noticed that his room smelled STRONGLY of weed. He jumped up suddenly when I opened the door and went over to where I was. I asked "why does it smell like weed in here?" and he said "it doesn't. it just doesn't." But I also noticed his eyes were pretty red. Well....I feel like I should tell my mom, but I don't wanna be "that sister" who rats out her brother. I'm definitely not telling my dad, because he would kick my brother out of the house. I would feel like a hypocrite ratting him out, because I have tried weed twice. I'm 19 now, and I didn't try it till the end of my freshman year of college about a month ago. It made me sick and paranoid, so I'm not gonna do it again. Another huge reason I feel like I should is my brother's recent behavior. He's been staying up till 4 every morning and sleeping the entire day. He won't help any of us with anything and he stays in his room all day. Yesterday he kept screaming at all of us. My mom asked him why and he said "I'm just having a bad day." She asked him if it was any of us, his girlfriend, or his lack of a job, but he said no to all of them. He's also been acting really depressed. I feel like the weed might be causing this, or making it worse at least. What would you do if you were in my situation?
How can I stop my 16 year old brother from smoking weed?
Well, first thing's first: your brother is not a baby. He's getting older and he's going to experiment and push the boundaries, as is the nature of people. Don't lecture, don't be his "older" brother, be his friend and his mentor. Do activities with him that don't involve smoking weed, and pull him away from anyone who is influencing him, without explicity saying anything. Also contrary to popular belief marijuana is not a gateway drug. It can be, but it isn't. Show him love, friendship, companionship, understanding, trust and have an open mind. Listen to him, instead of talking. He's trying to find himself, and sometimes rebellion is a way that teenagers use to show autonomy. Understand that not every person is the same, and he is not an extension of yourself or your mother, he is an individual and treat him as such. Also some adult responsibilities might help him act more like an adult, and a good way to do that is do volunteer work together, and start asking about college and working and careers because maybe that way it'll show that you're interested and you care, and that might inspire him to care more about himself.
