and he's totally acting out of place, like majorly. He broke my mom's window and he's only 17 and he keeps complaining about how he hates us and he wants to move out. I feel so guilty though; as if part of his trouble is my fault. What should i do?

It's not your fault, my brother is also 17, and he actually did move out of the house. The question is will he survive? My mother actually let my brother move out. If he really thinks that he can survive then let him move. He's either going to learn the easy way or the hard way. I know how you feel I've been through the same stuff. You can't blame yourself because it is not your fault even though you feel you need to do something, you can't. The only person that can help him is himself. He'll learn eventually. If you really want to try to talk to him, talk to him like he's an adult, don't yell or nothing, just talk. Figure out why he feels that way and try to come up with a compromise that will work for the whole family. Sometimes all it takes id listening.

Stop blaming yourself, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, not you. Your mother needs to file a police report on his behaviors, and let the legal system deal with him. Unfortunately, many males of his age do this type of acting out, and parents have a hard time, emotionally, turning them in to the police. For your safety, and your family's, he needs to be held accountable legally. Good luck!

tell me one reason why this could be your fault, i think that you need to adress this problem to your mother and then confront your brother with her, set some bounries, and if moving out means that then thats what needs to happen. and if it just suddenly happend than it might just be a phase.

Have your parents get him out of the house (even if they need to call the police on him).
