| recently my parents have caught on to my 14 yr old brother smoking... they have caught him before smoking cigarettes in the bathroom late at night. he got punished badly, n it was upsetting... but he did what he did. now i KNOW he is up to it again. tonight i walked outta the bathroom at about 2:15am & smelt smoke... it was funny because the only person who does smoke... is my mom & she was sleeping. so i went to my brother's bedroom door... and i smelt it more. then he came up from behind me because he was in the kitchen & goes... tommy: "what r u doing?" briana: "dude, ur room smells like smoke!" tommy: "idk y." briana: "maybe because u were smoking?! duh" tommy: "no i don't do that stuff." briana: "yuh ok" *walks away* 5 minutes later. tommy: "briana come in my room for a minute." briana: "what?" tommy: "idk what to do, its just addicting, plz don't tell mommy & daddy, i know its wrong, but i can't stop." briana: "tommy, i have to. what if this shit kills u in 15-30 years? or what if u drop the shit on the floor & the house catches on fire or something? what if u wind up with lung cancer at the age of 18? u obviously don't understand the stuff is wrong, nasty, and needs to be taken care of!" tommy: "i know but please don't tell them because they will get all mad." briana: "tommy, i can't stop u from doing it, n obviously u can't stop urself, so daddy & mommy need to stop u, because they have their controls of doing so. its just to take care of my brother... i gotta make choices i don't wanna, but its for ur own good." tommy: "briana, please!" and i walked away... should i tell my parents, or not? i know he doesn't wanna suffer from being grounded... my dad yelling, etc. but i don't want him to suffer death early. =/ i'm so confused. leave comments & help me out. PLEASE <3 |

sameen | 06-26-04 5:49pm i think u should tell him that if he doesn't stop, then u will tell ur parents. just talk 2 him and stuff, and try 2 find out about the situation. like, how/when it started. who else he does it with. if he does it with any one else... stuff like that, u know? |
sammibaby | 06-26-04 7:36pm i've been in a similar type situation..and i think you should first tell your brother how much you care about him and the only reason you're gonna tell on him is out of concern. he'll be mad at first, but he'll soon understand why you did it. and eventually will be grateful to have such a great sister like you. i mean yeah- it'll be hard at to see him go through all the crap with your parents, just as long as you know it's for the best, then everything will work out-- for everyone. but good luck with whatever you choose.

| Anonymous | Jackie, 06-26-04 9:05pm i thinks maybe u shoudl try to help him quit, n if things dont work out then go to the parentals? =\ i duno, thats what i'd do..... |
boricuababy | 06-26-04 9:18pm wow bri..im sorry ur being put in this kind of situation..my advice to you would be to talk to him some more..let him kno that you dont want to get him into trouble but that you want to help him thru all this..let him kno that you're doing this because you care so much about him..you've aready warned him about the dangers smoking causes which is the most important..i think you shudd give him time..wait a lil while lets say a week or two and if he still keeps on smoking tell ur mom..or another family member..i hope this helped!!..<3 |
theroofisonfire | 06-26-04 10:49pm i certainly have never been in this kind of situation. i think you should do whatever you think would get him to stop. use your judgement... if telling your parents would mean he stops go ahead and do it and if waiting it out a bit would be better than do that. idk if that made sense or if it helped at all. |
playmate101 | 06-26-04 11:35pm thanks guys, <3 this morning, i woke up & my parents found where he was stashing the cigarettes.. so they knew before i told them, s0o i just told them what happened s0o it would be cleared up. i appreciated ur advice & opinions, <3
