I've been hanging around on these forums for a year or two now, on a diff username which I forgot the email i registered it to. Anyway, I've never posted about something like this. I don't know who to talk to, so I'm posting it here. Now to start..My brother and I have an xbox 360, and our old xbox is shared between us, kept in our rooms. He's 17, I'm 14. He was gone today, as was my mom, who's at work. My dad's on a business trip right now as well. Anyway, I was pretty bored, so I decided to venture into his room to take the xbox out and move it to mine. I noticed that there was a metal box which had a $15 giftcard my friend gave to me was there, which he must've stolen from my room while i was gone all last week, and I opened it up and it was completely empty. This is where it gets.... interesting I suppose. I suddenly noticed there was a large, used bong behind it, and noticed some other smaller ones around the room, along with a little unused marijuana, about $60 in some can with remnents of week in it, and an empty beer can. I HATE to snoop, but I also noticed a letter within the midst, and couldn't help but read it. It was from a very concerned girl who apparently is very good friends with him, saying that she'd had fun a lot with him, and had had fun getting drunk / high as well, but was worried because he had taken acid and seemed to be getting depressed a lot. I'm worried for him as well, as I know what that kind of stuff can do to you. I'm also pretty angry, because he must've been snooping all around my room while I was gone. I knew he drunk sometimes, and had a slight suspicion that he'd gotten high before, but this was very different. I feel very anxious, because I want to tell my parents, but that'd basically be turning on him. I could make up some excuse to get my mom to at least look in there, but that'd be the same thing. I'm also a little scared that if he found out I told them, his first reaction would probobly be violence. He benchpresses 200+ pounds, and has more than a little strength advantage over me. I'm worried, angry, and confused all at the same time. Someone please help me ASAP!

My Brother

i really think that you should tell your parents.. they're eventually going to go in his room and find it..but by that time your brother could be getting worse. my brother does pot,and drinks,and my mother knows,but its no big deal (hes 21). but acid on the other hand..is VERY dangerous.its way more hardcore, which means he will probably end up doin worse things like meth or cocaine (im not saying he WILL, im just saying he might)....but yeah..talk to someone about it..please! before its gets too much out of hand..and tell your brother you know about him snooping and stealing your things.
tell him your not stupid and you know whats hes been up to. dont get mad at him...because drugs is more of a mental addiction than a physical one.
let me know what you decide to do.

since i posted this, i decided i was going to tell my mom when she gets home from work tonight, as we're very close. I'm probobly not going to confront my brother about snooping though.
-
you really should talk to someone about.and im glad you are... .you seem very close to your brother. and he will appreciate it in the long run
-
no actually, we're pretty distant lol. That's the real reason I'm not going to confront him myself about all this...
-
o...i dont know. i thought you were closer with him. let me know if you tell anyone tho
-
