If it's affecting you...no matter how hard it will be...you need to seperate yourself from him/cut him away from your life. Drug users will not quit via the recommendation of others, rather they quit when they feel it is necessary and they have hit rock bottom. It is hard to be in your situation I am sure, but to do what is best for yourself you should let your brother know that you are seperating yourself from him and want him to stay away from you with his drug abuse. This may actually help him because it may wake him up and help him realize what he has to lose if he doesn't quit using.

Tell him you care and tell your parents you are not wrong for that. There is not much you can do he won't stop until he is ready. Be strong and find something to keep you occupied so you don't have to be around him. It is hard but tough love is the only way.

Tell your parents. Besides that, there is not much you can do. You can try to talk to him, but if he is a drug addict, he is not interested in what you are saying.

try put him in a detox centre first. after that, try talking him into getting a job or studies or doing volunteering works.

Talk to your parents...and if you can't for whatever reason...talk to your school counselor or your pastor...
