my brother and i are 3 years apart when he started to have a girlfriend i made a agreement with my self never to get into his buesiness and never to tell my parents about the things he does ive noticed he has been drinking lately and he has come forward about it to me and also about him smoking pot i should keep my promice right?
-
Me and my bro
-
also he has been caught once before with drinking by my parents
-
I think you should [Edit: keep your promise, that is]. Though there would certainly be some things where duty would supersede that - for example if you discovered he was a serial killer - I don't think this counts.
-
I guess I'd have to say that if you're worried about him-- like you htink he has a problem with it-- then maybe--maybe-- it would be right to tell on him, but it would be best to approach him first, like tell him you're worried about whyt he's doing. Don't tell on him just because you think your parents would want to know.
-
do you think my brother likes me better because of me keeping his secrets
-
he probly respects you more for keeping your promise... and he'll always love you regardless if he likes you or not. it would be best, in my opinion, if you asked him what he thinks, and how he feels, about his drinking. then follow up with how you feel about his drinking, and how you look up to him and dont want anything to happen to him....
-
this is one of the few times that keeping promises isn't the best choice.he is doing some very dangerous things, and your parents need to know.
-
just to clarify i didnt say, nor mean to insinuate, for you not to tell your tell your parent(s) of your concern for your brother.
-
That would be snitching. And really, Even if your brother is punished for it, You'll get asskickings for the rest of your life at home.Do what feels right, Dude.

In reply to:That would be snitching so telling an adult about something that could possibly get his brother killed is snitching?
