My brother is leaving in the morning to go to a camp... a work camp i guess. He's 17 but i still think of him as a kid. hes 3 years older then me.. im extremely upset because I just found out like an hour ago that he's leaving. I am trying to think of a positive way to think of this.. but i cant stop crying and really hurt. I wont see him for at least 10 months. Anyone know a way to feel better/happier or a way just to be positive?? It would be appreciated =[.
and... please dont tell me to see a phyc. or a doctor... please.

It's great that you and your brother are so close. I know you're going to miss your brother more then you think you can bear. But you're going to be alright. The 10 mos. will go by faster then you think. Keep yourself busy with school and any other activitys. Start a journal and write down your feelings. Journaling really does help. Soon you'll only be writing about the wonderful things you want to tell him when he gets home.
Go and spend some time with him now.

Oh, no! You just found out he's leaving for ten months? That's terrible! Just remember, he will be coming back. Ask him to write to you every week, and respond to the letters he sends. Tell him you'll really miss him. He's almost at the age to leave the family to start his own, so this could be the chance to start letting him go. I'm sure he'll be alright where he's going. Talk to him about your feelings. He'll probably reassure you that he'll be fine. It's okay to feel upset; it'll pass. Good luck to you!

You know, when my sister left for college I thought that I was really going to miss her. I was down for a bit, but then got used to her being gone and started to feel better. It can be tough when a sibling leaves, especially for long periods of time, but you can do things to ease the pain of separation. Call and talk to him every once in a while. If he has email, send him links to your favorite websites. After a while, you will feel better, I guarantee it. And you may even find some perks to him being gone. ;)
Good luck to you and your brother!

There is nothing wrong with you being upset about this. It's a shock to find out something like this, especially all of a sudden, with no time to prepare.
Try to look at this as a time to learn and grow for both of you. You'll mature alot while he's gone, and he will be so proud of you when he gets back.
What's the work camp about? If he's been in trouble, this is time for him to get his priorities straight.
Good luck to you both.

Sometimes we have to be the strongest, don't let him know how broken you are. But just look forward to the day when you all will be back together. you guys may not be together in physical trait, but you both can be with one another in spirit, being apart don't have to be all bad. Start making plans as to what you all can do when he comes home, and let him know that the both of you are going to be okay, encourage him to do his best while he is there, because it is more than likely hard for him to leave you and his other friends and family. Good Luck to you and he, and let us know how you are doing from time to time

Send him with lots of paper and envelopes so you guys can stay in touch. Think of it as an opportunity for him to experience something new and maybe learn a few things. Maybe keep a journal so that when he comes home you can show him how much he was missed.

I would want to know more about this "camp"....sounds suspicious...Why do you have such an attachment to him? Everyone moves on in their lives, it's a part of life!! You will need to get used to him and you leaving home some time or another anyway. Are you getting your period? That and your age (hormones that can make you extremely emotional) are affecting you. Talk to him and find peace. Good luck!

If he's being sent away for 10 months, he's in big trouble. Be thankful he's finally getting help. It's not about you-- he needs extreme straightening out-- thank God he's finally getting on the right path.

the difficulty is that the liberal media placed Obama on a throne and made him out to be a hero and seeing his insane behaviors and divisive movements the click can not stand the reality that they've been conned and lied to and that they could have supported the incorrect celebration.
