My brother - if you answered my question before this one, you'll know - well, we found out some stuff, I guess someone at school wasn't so nice and he felt alot of peer pressure, blah-bla-blah, but I'm sure he's going to run away again, and further away - I'm trying to be nice to him and haven't done normal stuff (like yelled at him when he keeps his radio slightly louder then I like, E.G.), and we're all trying to be nice to him,
But I heard him say to my mom "I'll never run away again. I promise." What does THIS mean? Does it mean he's honest... What do you think?

He ran away because someone "outside the family/inside the family" was, I guess, abusing him or something... I want to talk to my dad about getting him counsuling, but I'm not sure how.
He's arrested now.

well first off he does need counseling. Abuse has more of an effect then people think on the mind of a child. But by no means allow him to act out because he thinks people are against him.
You confront him,tell him you are there for him. Being nice isn't just going to help him,he needs a comforter,someone he can trust. If someone is abusing him,he needs that feeling that he isn't going to be used and thrown about. Counseling always did good,and identifying the person who is the abuser,would make things better. Closure is the best policy.

I had a brother... Sounds a lot like your brother. Of course it is a lie. Right now he needs a roof over his head and food. But once he gets the chance he will run again when things do not go his way. He is sucking up to your mom, so she does not send him to counseling or to a group home or juvie hall.... I am sorry I am not trying to hurt you. But your brother sounds like a troubled teen who will keep running and falling for peer pressure and one day find himself in the wrong place, and then he will not be able to run away. They will lock him up.

There is no way to answer this question without knowing extensive details; however if he ran away there was something he was running away from...There is no real guarantee that he won't do it again if that is not resolved. Being "nice" to him is all well and good, but your family still needs to get to the 'real' root of the problem. Counseling and fast!

Thats so lovely of you being nice to your brother. If your brother loves your family, what he is saying to your mum, he must believe and want it to be true. There is really nothing else you can do. Let him know how much you all love him. Why is he running away?

i think your brother needs to talk to someone like a friend or a n adult or maybe even you but the hardest thing is to not judge him be at first you might but give him advice tell him things he can do to get better just be there for him as much as possible and let him no you really care.

I think your family is spoiling him rotten. I understand that you are scared to lose him again, but he will never succeed in society thinking that people will roll over to appease him. Be nice to him but tell him when he is wrong...just do it in love. If he can't accept that and threatens to run away, then maybe life needs to kick his butt!

perhaps he is under pressure from someone? or doesnt like the living arrangements. parents too restrictive? i ran away when i was young-- about 12-- couldnt wait to get back home-- i was hungry
