confessions

[darkangelism]

my brother told me that he lied to my parents and told them he was going to se one movie(sahara) when he is going to see Sin City...that movie is inapporpriate for him, but its not my place to tell on him, or tell him not too. he already stole a lot of my porn so its not like the nudity is something new.

um,

[darkangelism]

lol, i was kinda drunk when i wrote that, its true, but kinda weird to say

[Star]

how old is your brother?

[darkangelism]

14, almost 15.

[Star]

I don't think you should "tell your parents" about his lie. He told you that because he trusts you and it wasn't life threatening. If it isn't life threatening, then why blow the trust between you and your little brother? it's not worth it.

[darkangelism]

yeah, i agree i decided that id draw the line if he tries to get me to buy him beer.

[Star]

even still, you don't need to "tell on him". You can be the big brother and talk to him about it instead. guide him into making the right choices in life.

I never told on my little brother about anything I knew he was doing wrong or experimenting with. My little brother is 17 yrs younger then i am. I found out that he smoked a joint when he was around 14 and i sat him down and had a talk about drugs with him. I'd have him staying over at my house on weekends and that's when i had the talks with him about everything. We have an awesome relationship now and I think that's because I didn't run to parents and told on him about things. instead, i was his big sister who talked and reasoned with him.

You're what? 5 or 6 years older then he is? Be a big brother that he can come to when he has a problem. Talk to him about these things.

[darkangelism]

yeah you are right, yeah im 6 years older then him, i have to discuss stuff i ind out about myself, not involve my parents unless i have to.

My sister is three years younger than I am and I get tired only thinking about the times I covered for her. I tried talking to her ... let's jsut say she's got her own way of thinking. My parents were a bit too old to handle it. And it's not like they wanted or had an intention to actually take drastic measures as far as she's concerned.

thanks Lord she's not a bad kid, she just likes living on the edge, for some strange reasons. No, no drugs or drinking... Men, usually, LOL!

What can I say, I realised that if I were to tell my parents, it would have caused them only more grief. She's stubborned and wants things her way exclusively. We get along great for the first 2 days, LOL!


My being away made us talk more and actually improved our relationship.


DA, do what I did: talk to him and trust him. But do get involved and do check up on him from time to time. And... put a password on your puter if you've got adult stuff on it!

Ahh kids will be kids, just be glad he is honest with you

Thats the kind of thinking that let's them get away with stuff. Gotta be tough set limits.


twinkle, my parents are more then capable to handling it, they would just punish him excessivly for it. though my brother might listen to me he does his own thing when he wants to. Though i dont think drugs are going to enter the picture, or girls for awhile.

[Star]

If you talk to him and give him good advice and he still goes out and does it, then let him get caught on his own and take his consequences like he should from your parents.

Telling on your brother or sister at the age that you're at just isn't right DA. You're the older brother and should be a role model to him.

My brothers and I stopped telling on eachother when we were about 10 or so. We'd use that information to our advantage by that time. Blackmail! LOL! Now we're adults so we don't care what the other one does. It's all good.

[darkangelism]

i know,i wont tell on him, not for this, he already did this and got away with it.
