My brother is not like other kids. He acts as if he is an adult, but only thirteen. He constantly talks about the future, how he hopes the world will settle down and how he go to college, become a doctor and make a whole lot of money, to help out our family. My family has been moving constantly, and now we just moved into an apartment that is becoming a condo. This is a problem because we don't have the money to buy the unit. My brother is always asking questions, like what is mortgage, and credit scores, and all this financial lingo. He feels as though he has to be the one to help. He has been looking for apartments, and I think he should just relax. My brother seems as though nobody can influence him, which can be good and bad. The way he acts with his friends is like an adult to a kid, which is weird. So, should he just chill, or continue to be the way he is?

Thanks for your answers so far, the "brother" is actually me. I was too nervous to use my self. So I made up a brother. I am a single child.

Just calm down a bit, enjoy your teenage years because before you know it you will be an Adult and you will regret not enjoying the teenage years with your friends.But I have to say if you want to help your family out that is ok mow a few lawns everyweek or something but don't wear yourself out your still a child, have fun with your friends. That is great that you want to go to College keep it up ok,make your parents proud.Just let your Parents deal with the Adult things right now.

I think your brother is going trough a faze and is normal. With the financial problems and all hes probably wanting to help out and be an adult about it. Or maybe hes just mature for his age.

Is he the first born? If so, there's your answer. First Born's sometimes feel the need to take responsibility for everything and everyone.
They are also the ones in the family to get an ulcer. Tell him to chill, reassure him that your parents can take care of things. But, if he sees or feel that your parents are not doing their job, he will feel the need to help out even more.
Tell your parents to tell him to chill.

He is reacting to something, genetics or environment is the question. If he 'just like that' then leave him be... but if he reacting to instability in you parents then maybe he feels like he has to be the adult and take care of everyone. If that is the case then it is sad that he is missing his own childhood - a carefree fun childhood that everyone desearves. Responsibilities come soon enough.

Let him be. He is driven. Dont stop him. There arent to many like him and he is bound to achieve some level success.
