My brother is on drugs, what should I do?

Question by Kitty: My brother is on drugs, what should I do?
My older brother was always kind of a loner in high school, until Senior year, he met some friends and was really happy. I was happy to because he belonged. I knew some of his friends liked to party hard, with alcohol, and one of his friends smokes cigarettes, but I thought my brother would be smarter than that. It wasn’t until about 4 weeks ago I saw a picture of him w/ a cigarette, 2 days later he started sneaking out of the house, and I read his txts yesterday, and by the sound of it he’s on weed, and abusing prescription drugs, like ritalin etc… We don’t have a good relationship. He is very quiet and never opens up, and would be mad if he knew I read his txts. I can’t do an intervention because I shouldn’t be the one to do it, and I don’t want to see him give up his friends because he would be alone again. I’m hoping when he graduates and goes off to college, he will stop hanging w/ his LOSER friends, but until then, what little things can I do to help him stop, like will cleaning the house help? Or playing soothing music while he is home? I want him to be happy and drug free. I really do love him, so I need to know what little things I can do to help?

For his best interest, you need to tell your parents. He will be mad now, but will thank you in the long run. Think about if he were to die from drugs, you’d regret not telling your parents. A lady came to my school a few years ago and told me a story just like this. It’s in both your best interests to tell your parents or a counselor, so he can get the proper help he needs to have a good future. You can’t just hope, you have to really do something about it before it’s too late..it’s hard, but good luck!
