    talk to the jail house you know find out if they can hold him for a few hours or something and tell them to make it hard on him or maybe even go down to the prison and talk to them and find out if they would do like a tour or it and let him see how bad of a place it is and let him see he don't want to be there or you could send him to boot camp you know i mean that is just my advice. i know it sounds cruel but something like that might give him a wake-up call you know what i mean good luck.

    Sounds like he is out of control doing those things at 11...sorry but sounds like he needs to be put in a juvenile detention center for a while...they can get court orders against these bad influences and can give him a probation officer that will do random drug testing...thats what I would do. You need to take charge before something bad happens to him.

    Call the police and have him arrested. It sounds cold as hell, but it will get him the attention he needs, and the help. It's not your fault that he is doing drugs. He has just found the wrong people to hang out with. Do not put that burdon on yourself, because it will make you ill!

    Wow well, punish him, he might rebel, but you have to put your foot down, like tell him he cant go anywhere, just scare him a little so he know's your not someone to mess with, because it seems like he knows who to get over on. Figure out who the crowd he is with and give some discipline. If he doesn't get the picture send him to camp or maury?

    I feel sooooooo sorry for your grandmother. Now should be the time that she gets to relax and enjoy life. She shouldn't be raising her grand children and great grand children. Anyways. You should go to the police if noone else will help.

    properly, if he has a topic 'pooping' and 'peeing' on himself, that's an argument on your mum and dad and clinical experts to help him. Why in the international are you getting in contact? you at the instantaneous are not his figure, nor are you an expert on those concerns. this difficulty might want to be stressful adequate on your brother, and on accurate of all of it he's were given you to bother and bully him about it. i ought to characterize you keep out of it and do not talk it with him in any respect. Its no longer your position to. As an older sister attempt to be extra compassionate, and extremely than bully him about his incontinence themes, turn a blind eye.

So in answer on your question "How do I be sure those themes?" My answer is: stay out of it, you've already executed adequate psychological harm on your brother. regardless of themes he has at the instantaneous are not for you to be sure. those are your mum and dad established jobs.
