*Rant* I'm going to introduce my brother to the real world...

leung, dont sweat it man, youll be ok. things will get better once his shits gone and he realizes that he needs to get his ass in gear

[Leung]

Well i guess my mother is worried about my brother because he still hasn't come home and she's normally at work at this time of day. My sister said she didn't see him in school today either. Frankly i'm not worried because he's a big boy but for my mom's sake, i guess i could file a missing person's report since it has been 24 hours and point them in the direction of his friend's house, the same one that came and got him yesterday.
It would be a dick move but if he is down there, his friend's parents should have known to not harbor a run away minor. If he wanted to show that he was responsible, he should have picked up a phone and called home to let mother know where he was.

what do you guys think? I won't go down there to the friend's house because that may open myself up to some other crap and i definitely do not want to get into an argument with anyone else this week.

You might open a whole new can o worms pursuing him.

I understand that you're mother's upset and concerned.

But seeing's how you and him have been through a lot of shit personally this past week; maybe it'd be best to leave him alone. I'm sure he's fine. He's gotta get out there and learn sooner rather than later. Life normally gives you a good face-smack whether you like it or not. Maybe it's just his turn.

I would rather him learn a life lesson. It's my mother that is concerned for him like a mother should.

I spent like 45 minutes playing text tag between two of his friends and one of them was lying to me about where he was. That hurts that one of the two would lie to me even though I have helped them with problems of their own.

Anyhow we tracked him down to the friend that lives down the street. Apperently the other friend which i'll call "curely" now said that he hasn't seen my brother in school today but then the kid that picked him up yesterday, "Tall" texted back and said that "curely" is dropping him off right now at his house. Mother is going down right now to pick him up from there.

Frankly i just want the kid to learn some responsibility. My mother wants me to return his computer monitor and phone back. I'm going to make it clear that if he wants to use the internet and my minutes/text plan, he better cough up some money or start doing chores around the house.

If he doesn't want to talk to me right now, that's cool i can understand that he's pissed. I'm pissed so i'll stay in my room and do homework, if he wants to talk, that's where i'll be.

Ok just to update you guys.

I talked to my brother, I gave him back his phone on the condition that he contributes to the phone bill every month. The bill is like 130 bucks a month but all i'm asking for is 15 bucks because all he ever uses are texts.

I told him that I quit working for the pretzel dude so he will either need to do chores around the house or go find himself a part time job. He was ok with the idea. I hope he chooses chores because i hate mowing the lawn come spring and summer time.

Really I'm easy to get along with and i certainly do not ask for very much in return. I would prefer talking things out first but when he walked away from me that just made my blood boil. Anyhow i'm glad he's home and he's safe and all that jazz. Also don't eat my frozen mini snickers.


Thank you everybody that gave me advice, it means a lot.

I am a little confused.... Does your mom have money issues...? Is that why you support her / him....? If so tell him to stfu and thank you for keeping him from being homeless... I see no need to buy a almost adult sibling toys/phones..

[Leung]

I guess you could day she has money issues considering she pays the mortgage and takes of those two. I help her with the bills when she is strapped.
