Concerns about my teenage brother?
I'll cut straight to the chase. My 14 year old brother does an online game and he chats with this girl (his own age) he met while playing. They've been talking for 4 months now and apparently they've developed strong feelings for each other (Uhm yes "the L word" aka love). My mom and I both know. They chat online all the time to a point where it's kind of too much. Let's just be honest, our family is worried. I mean who wouldn't be? He's chatting with someone he never met before and tells us that he loves her. We don't want him to runaway from us or anything dramatic so we aren't pressuring him too much about anything. To be honest, my brother is a smart kid and we're an overdramatic/worrywort kind of family.
The best thing is that my brother and I are really close and he really confides in me. I just want some advice on how to handle everything and to make sure my parents don't die from worry. Thanks everyone!
p.s. they're already fb friends and exchanged cell phone numbers.
p.p.s We live in California. She lives in Canada apparently.

Long time no see. Hope u & your family had a good Holiday season. My advice would be that since u said you both are close i would suggest to take a day to have a serious talk with him one on one. If your worried about the family getting involved set up a day to talk in the Park for example in a Library etc. Maybe if he listens to someone he trusts & confides in a lot maybe he will listen to reason & realizes he needs to be careful about this. I hope things turn out ok.
Happy New Year 2012.

I had despair, and was once a nightmare to my loved ones... I remorse it very a lot now. It's tough to inform with out realizing him. Some individuals's despair is extra critical than others, but when he is not preserving busy; he's going to simply live on his on despair. I bought out of my despair via becoming a member of a Taekwondo elegance, however that's some thing I desired to do. I was once so numb from my despair that I simply desired to kill myself. I was once making plans out methods to do it, and watching up ways of doing it with out pain. I do not fairly know the way near I was once to truthfully doing it despite the fact that... however that was once my beyond. A few matters I suppose helped me get out of my despair. Knowing my sister cared approximately me. My mom and dad are Asian, and do not fairly comprehend despair. My sister attempted her exceptional to aid me, and I did not recognize her sufficient at the moment of my lifestyles. I began Taekwondo, and was once round different individuals. I began getting encourage with ambitions... similar to completing tuition, getting my black belt, and competing in tournaments. Basically realizing anybody cares, having an recreation that nvolves different individuals (and that he enjoys doing), and having ambitions that he desire's to achieve. Being depressed placed a "darkish" lens on his viewpoint of plenty of matters, and that can make looking to difference much more complex... It took me decades to get of my despair, so he demands to desire it for himself. Just be there for him while you'll be able to, and permit him recognize that you simply love him. My sister letting me recognize, most of the time saved me from killing myself... I'm sorry that you're in a identical hindrance as my sister... it isn't convenient, and totally tough on you and your brother. I recognize that it isn't important how tough it's due to the fact that it is loved ones, however attempt to make certain you're employed to your possess ambitions too. I wish I helped, well success!
