Advice:
My little brother...

View More Posts Ignore
He's a good kid, for the most part, but he's made some incredibly stupid decisions. He's 15; in the last few months he's started smoking cigarettes and weed and drinking. Just the other day he told me he started inhaling dust cleaner, which I caught him doing not five minutes ago. I don't want to break his trust and tell my parents, but it's going too far and I'm afraid he's going to kill himself with this. What should I do?

" My little brother is the exact same except he cant smoke weed since he claims it doesnt do enough. You may have to tell on him for his safety. Inhalants can get you killed pretty easily one cousin killed himself with butane lighter and a baggie. However I advise breaking trust so he can get help because if you dont he may die and you will live with that. I broke the trust and am happy he hates me but i know i can sleep thinking ive done everything ive tried to keep him alive. Im 16 with a 14 year old brother severely depressed. "

" Simple

This is something you need to break his trust with.

Tell your parents, or if you can't do that tell your doctor. "
