My little brother got arrested today
He's 16. He's a Junior is Highschool.
I am the middle of 3 brothers. My older brother was never motivated in school and a complete asshole. I never liked him and still dont. But me and my little brother have always been close. We share the same sense of humor and if you put the two of us together at a party, all eyes are on the O'Connell brothers. He is just as smart as I am (smarter in non math areas (I'm like asian at math)) but he hates doing work and loves to just chill and play music. I had been giving him so much shit for his failing marks during his freshman year and he had finally been turning them around. He's made honor roll, grades good enough for college and his band has been going for a while. I knew that he was getting into weed (something I've done, still do, but since senior year of highschool I've smoked about 6 or 7 times and I'm in my 3rd semester) and I knew that he was about the same casual user as me.
But now I've found out that he got arrested for trying to buy what he thought were Vicadins (sp). They were, of course, asprin. I just got off the phone with him and told him that he was clearly heading down the road to throwing his life away. My parents tell me his grades are slipping again, and he's told them that he's not going to college.
Week after next is my spring break, I was going to go to a buddys beach house (which im not that excited about) for the week but now I'm considering just going home and dealing with him somehow.
What's my play?
