REALLY need some outside perspective on this situation:

My brother's in high school and I'm away in college. My brother just started smoking weed heavily / dealing in my hometown. It's starting to get really confrontational between my mom and him ever since she found out. He looks up to me ALOT but knows I smoke at college a decent amount. Only difference is it's not affecting my life in negative ways like its starting to affect his (i.e. getting a bad rap at school, teachers definitely have caught on, etc.) It's pretty much his ATTITUDE thats the problem, not the weed smoking necessarily. Towards my mom its a: "Yea I'm doing it, the fuck are you going to do to stop me?" attitude. Towards me its a : "Theres nothing else to do in this boring ass town" attitude.

My question:
I don't mind if he smokes and it doesn't negatively impact him / his future, but how do I tell / show him to stop fucking around?

I pretty much feel like I have the perfect opportunity to pull him out of this while he's in shallow waters.

Any input would be appreciated.

if he looks up to you as much as you say tell him bluntly to stop fucking around and get his life straight before it gets any worse~ Tell him exactly what you told us

swisha rolled tight...

yeah, well he probably wont learn unless he pays some dues. explain to him that in case he ever decides to do something with his life, he will be held back forever if he has a drug charge or something.

then the next most important thing is not letting it come back to haunt you or your fam. dont let him deal from the house, etc, things that will put your mom in a bad situation.

ya smoking weed isnt the problem, he is in high school and underage to do anything your mom needs to stop being pushed around and say fuck you little kid ground him make him stay home let no one come over. its hard to run a drug opperation if you cant leave your house and people come over. you could also have your mom call the cops on him or your mom could send him away. tell your mom to stop being fucking pushed over by her child she needs to stand the fuck up.

Gotta say I agree with ya. Your mom is the parent for a reason. If she knows whats going on and hasnt done anything about it, she's to blame as well.

Anyways....if your brother looks up to you like you described, just sit down with him and have a heart to heart convo about this. Tell him to straighten his shit out or he'll be fucked in the long run.

Agreed. Just make up some excuse for him to get in the car with you, and then say what you have to say. Tell him it's alright to smoke weed as long as it isn't your number one priority. As long as you still do good in school. As long as you still treat your parents with respect.

About the dealing... tell him if he gets caught its automatically a felony. Felons can't vote, can't own a gun, and can't do a shit ton of other things. It will be stuck on his background for life and will completely effect the way future employers look at him. Basically, being labeled a felon is no bueno. Also, tell him making a few hundred on the side every once in a while may seem like a lot of cash at the time, but getting caught is a lot of cash too. $5,000-$10,000 in lawyer fees, having to take drug counseling classes, jail time, probation, hefty fines, etc.

tell him that if he keeps on doing what he is doing he is going to get screwed and a clown will come to his house every night.(hire and person to do that) Then go watch T.I's road to redemption and take notes.
