Im 15 years old and my cousin is 17. He never does his homework and always comes over to my house after to school so I dont have alot of time to do my homework. I am trying to get straight A's but he is interfering. I want to become a Doctor, but he says I will never make it I might as well just become a semi driver because that is what he wants to do. Also when he is with his freinds they always smoke weed. I refuse to take it but they keep telling me there is nothing wrong with it also me and my cousin used to be good freinds but now that he has got his lisence he has changed And he dosent really care about school. He just plans on graduating high school. He does not want to go to college, what should I do.

Tell him to piss off and let you carry out your educational needs to suit your future. From what I can tell he is only thinking of himself,it could also be that he is jelious of your achievements and ideals but ultimately you will be the winner because your future will become intact.

Talk to your parents about this problem. You're only 15 and your parents can be one of your best sources of help here. You can ask them to forbid you from seeing anyone you don't want to see and it will look like it's not your choice. Also, your cousin is a minor and needs help to kick a drug habit. You may want to talk to your uncle or aunt as well and tell them what you know.
Above all, don't listen to him when he says you won't make it to med school and into the medical profession. Only the MCAT can keep you out of med school. Get your bachelor's degree, take the MCAT, and become a doctor. Then, you may be in a position to help your cousin if he doesn't get help now.

Good for you for having long-term plans and for taking school seriously. Time to be a bit rude to your cousin. Does he come home with you after school or does he just show up? Either way, tell him you're busy, don't give him a long explanation, and keep being short with him. Stop hanging with his circle of friends. Basically cut him out of your life. Sounds harsh but that's what it takes. He's just bringing you down and time to cut the dead weight.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't follow his foot steps. Do your homework and reach for your dreams. You can and will be a Dr. one day - if you be who you are, try your best, and reach for the stars, the sky is the limit! You have to be the mature responsible one and make time for your homework -business before pleasure- let him just sit there watching TV or w/e while you do your homework --- or better yet, just tell him that it's important to you to get your homework done, and if he can't respect that then not to come over.

for you to be very young and already know what you want to do, and have all your goals planned out, thats great! dont let anyone bring you down, distract you from your work and most of all tell you that your not capable of doing something. when you dream, dream big! listen to yourself and what you truely want to do. dont fall under the spell of drugs, it doesnt pay off. if its not bad for you, why are their so many low-lives who smoke/do other drugs that are lazy and dont do anything with their life? dont be one of them, especially when you have so much going for you. do everything you can to follow your dream, dont forget who you are and listen to your gut.
much of luck

wow.. i am the same age as you .. i am not sure what i want to be but i am trying to get a 4.0 too
you need to try as hard as you can, dont stop trying . pleese i dont know you but i can relate to you .. some thing like that have happned to me too. what you need to do is to try and tell him not to come over to your house as much if not at all.. i know it is hard to tell someone that but try to say it to him as calmly and nicely as you can .. it might take a few times to get it through his head but dont stop trying.
you can email me if you want
tlhand92@yahoo.com
just try to not get involved with weed or anything .. and dont stop trying in school .. i know that it is hard but dont give up. ok.

Your cousin feels beneath you & is trying to bring you down to his low level (little or no self-esteem).
Sometimes, it's best to break free from crap, even if it means not associating with family.
Take charge of your life... even if it means you have to make your cousin know that you reject his way of life.

Quit hanging around with him and his friends. You may have to tell him his life style is not yours and you don't want to be dragged down with him. AND DON'T DO THE DRUGS!
