My 17 year old brother smokes weed?
so I just found out that my older brother smoked weed with two other friends last month. I'm not really sure what to think or do because I'm 15. Should I tell my parents? or just tell him to stop before he starts smoking it daily. he wants to go to a medical school but he's quitting his favorite sport and he wants to get a van and make it into like a hippy van. I'm scared that he will drop out of school and I'm really concerned for him since I love him and I just really need help of what to do

My brother smokes and I'm afraid for his life!?
Sad to say, there's really nothing you can do. You can't control him, and he can't control his addiction. Your mother should have some control (assuming he lives with the family) but evidently chooses not to try, possibly for fear of his choosing the addiction over family. Cigarettes are one of the most addicting substances known -- particularly nasty when it's marginally socially acceptable and stupid kids think it makes them look grownup. Funny, since it's been shown that most smokers start as teenagers, and most adults want to quit (and only 1 of 6 are able to, and even then most relapse at some point). If you nag him about it, he'll just get more defensive about it and keep right on smoking (possibly rationalizing that he needs the relief from "family stress"... addicts are darn good at rationalizing, as you've already noticed). HE has to want to change, in order to try. You *can* control how it directly affects you: refuse to be around him or make him leave if he tries to smoke around you or reeks of the stink. This affects your breathing and your health (and how you smell to others, too!) and you should not have to put up with that. I know you care about him and want him to be healthy. Unfortunately this is a choice he made for himself and he has to live with the consequences. You can support him if he chooses to change; you can show that you're open to him and hope he does choose to quit; but you cannot make him change his mind.
My little brother smokes weed- what should I do?
Tell your parents, if you don't your brother will become a complete stoner and will be a stupid *** the rest of his life. You did say next time you catch him you will tell. Now you caught him a second time and you need to follow through. He will need to learn how to be a man and face the consequences and admit what he did was stupid. If you dont it will look worse on your part. If you don't try to save one life, you'll never save any.
Should I tell my parents my brother smokes weed?
So i was in my older brother's room and I discovered he has weed and a pipe under his bed. My parents and my entire family are 100% against drugs. He's 20 years old and I know hes old enough to make his own decisions, but he's doing it while he's living in my parents house where myself (18) and my three little brothers (15, 10, and 8) live. If he were to smoke weed outside of our home I wouldn't care so much, but I don't want my little brothers to be exposed to drugs because of his bad influence. He also has a strict "no one is allowed in my room" policy and now I know why. What should i do? Also how should my parents confront him about it without him freaking out for "invading his privacy"?
Should I let my younger brother smoke weed?
I have a younger brother who just turned 16 and now wants to experiment with weed. I'm 19 and have never smoked weed since I have never felt the need to and have felt that the negatives outweighted the positives. I was also turned off from drugs thanks to my middle school anti-drug classes that I feel that my younger brother did not have much of at his middle school. Almost all of my friends have or still smoke weed and a lot of them don't think it's that big of a deal. Is it OK for me to let my brother smoke weed just to see what the "high" is? Is he old enough to make a decision like this by himself? I am torn between being a good big brother and letting my younger brother make decisions on his own. Also, another reason I haven't tried opening the door to drugs is because both of my grandfathers were alcohol addicts and my parents have also told me to never do drugs or alcohol because I might have this "addict" gene.
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.
