What can i do!?!

[Techno Monster]

I feel so fucked up right now!!! I found a cigeritte pack in my brothers room... he knows that i found it, and if i tell mom, im dead because he will kill me !!!

I just want to hide right now...

[Rutherford The Brave]

Ok, first off why will he kill you? Second how old is he? I would still tell but also tell your mom that he might beat you up, so that she can protect you.

[Techno Monster]

he would kill me for telling
he is 15

[Oblivion]

I would still tell your mom, if he is underage.
Its really harmful to the body, specially when your young.
Maybe next time hes gone, ask your mom to pretend like she found them while she was cleaning up his room.

[ShatteredWings]

or:

you could just ignore it? pretend you never found em. he'll get busted sooner or later anyway.

why were you snooping in his room anyway?

[Sapphire]

Just leave it. He is your older brother and he is old enough to know the dangers involved. Is it really any of your business whether he smokes in private or not? Are you really entitled to judge and condemn him? You shouldn't even have been going through his belongings in the first place.

[mr.sexy_bomb]

tell her is 4 the best

Caitlin, I can't say I know what you're going through because I never really got to know my siblings, and well, neither of them smoked or drank [and my half-brother still doesn't smoke or drink and is saving himself to marriage and is all perfect and shit...]... But still, I have to say you should ignore it. Fate will catch up to him, trust me. I know you're angry, I know you want to tell your parents, but its probably not worth the risk. You don't deserve to be hurt, and if he'll hurt you for telling your parents, its not worth it. Yes, he does need help, and I know you wish you could give it to him. But for now you have to let him figure out that he's making a mistake by himself. It's his life, he's a teenager, he's going to screw up, all teenage guys screw up, its just who we are. I know you care for him, he's your brother after all, but still, if he knows the risks of cigarettes and is still willing to do them, its his fault, not yours. Just let it be, he'll discover sooner or later that he's making a mistake. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Well, there's a lot going on here, Caitlin.

If your folks cannot control a 15 year old and protect your safety (to say nothing of helping him show better judgement with his behaviors like cigs), then there's a really bigger problem than your bros smoking or your fears, right? They're not in control.

Parents need to drive the bus, they're the ones that need to be in control. If they're not, then a lot of bad things can happen, like smoking, etc., and threats and intimidation.

The issue now is that you know, and he knows you know. If you decide not to tell, it's really important to let him know it's because you just don't care, NOT that you're afraid. If you DO tell, it's important to do it ONLY b/c your parents need the info to help them regain control. It's not spite, and frankly it's not about cigarette smoking. It's about parental control.

So, regardless of how you found out, or if you sholud have found out, or his age, you need to decide what's most important: Helping your folks regain control, or your clearly letting him know you just don't care anymore. But it's really important you make a decision, and tell at least one of them what your decision is. If you do not, he will likely misinterpret your silence as acquiesence, and continue to menace you. And your folks will continue to be oblivious.

You cant really hide smoking, you smell, your clothes smell, your breath, if you smoke in your room people just know, the nicotine builds up on the wall. Someone will find out.

[Whisper]

the world kill is soooooo over used
he wont kill you
at worst he'll punch you

and ya
smoking cant be hidden
the smell sticks to everything

[Fiending_the_freedom]

yea, i say just warn him he IS going to get caught and its a BIG waste of money.
id say dont tell your mom. you need to have his trust just incase you ever need him to keep his mouth shut!

[Mr. Smithers]

Its cigarettes. It really isn't hard to tell if he's been smoking even if he steps outside for a few minutes.

Your going to have to tell Mom anyways. He is way too young to be smoking and you know that.

Just try not to let it go.

[The Batman]

Do what you think is better. If you think telling your parents will help then tell them. If you think hiding the pack and talking to him about it then do that.
