A Serious post

My younger brother is on drugs or a drug ~crank.

He is only 14. My parents can't do anything with him. He has knocked countless holes in the wall. Sold his things, X-box, a $500 paintball gun. He is totally out of control. He no longer respects anything, not even me, and we have usually seen eye to eye on things. We've never done without anything but our family life could have been a lot better in regards to affection, etc....

Our fathers are different. His dad died in a car accident several years ago so now my parents are back together. Odd i know.

I've tried talking to him but he won't listen. I just want to beat the living shit out of him. I'm worried he is going to hurt my mom or dad, maybe both. If anything is going to be done it's going to have to be done by me. It honestly has me in tears.

I'm supposed to go home tomorrow but what am i going to do ? "Hey, you need to stop that."

How old are you orb.

First it isn't all on you. You need to get that thought out of your head. It's counterproductive.

The next thing is to sit down with your parents and suggest forced rehab for the kid. He isn't going to get better on his own. That is unlikely even id he were inlcined to want to, which doesn't seem likely. Rehab and then a change of environment (read friends, schoool if possible) might be what he most needs.

I'll keep your family in my prayers orb. He isn't himself right now

Sorry to hear that bud, I hope you can get him off that crap asap. I have seen it ruin so many lives up around here. It is, IMO, the worst drug out there. He could probably use a good ass-beating to knock some sense into him but at this point that would be counterproductive and just create a whole lot of resentment making him even harder to deal with. If he is 14 it shouldn't be too hard to keep him around and away from whoever is getting him that crap. He doesn't have a car and just don't let him go anywhere until you can decide how to deal with it. I would say take him somewhere to a program that he is locked up and gets treatment. It will help and hopefully scare the shit out of him as well after he realizes his freedom can be easily taken away and most certainly will if he continues down that course. Good luck, I know a sober 14 y/o is tough enough to deal with.

Next time he does something illegal, call the police and get his ass in jail.

i'm 22.

Just take my word for it when i say nothing will get done unless i do it. Possibly his grandparents could help if they would get their heads out of thier asses. They blame me for this but i think i'll go and speak with them anyway.

He used to steal pot out of my room. I've never put any type of drug in front of him though. He had to look damn hard to find it in my room when i still lived at home.

Maybe it is my fault. I never touched any type of drug until I was 19 and it seems as if my whole world and everything around me has went to shit even though i'm barely a year away from being an engineer. Before i started drinking , etc ..it seems as if things went a lot smoother. Everyone's life was better. Like I was the one holding it all together.

Now i can't even get through a fucking day without some type of nerve pill. And the only people that know i even take pills are the people that read my posts here.

Maybe if i go back to the way i used to be then my family life would go back to normal. This is the first time in my life I've not been able to deal with a situation on my own.

I know how that shit works if you start with serious drugs that young. Think suicide, mental illnes, or jail as an adult. You can't just tell him to stop, you need to do much more. Its all his friends and his whole value system. You want to keep him from being a bum when he is older than you got to do major shit immeidiately. Like have your parents send him away to live with one of your aunts or uncles where he can start in a new school with new friends etc. Either that or have them send him to some serious rehab place. But those places can be notorious for not working and instead backfiring, just being a meet up where addicts hook up with other addicts and reinforce each other's drug habits.

If he has done alot of speed, crank whatever, it can take his brain a year to go back to normal and he'll be pissed the whole time. I read that and saw a brain scan about that. At least he is young and has time and life yet to recover.
