im 18 in hs & really have no relationship w/ my bruther at all who's 19 & a soph in college (he commutes). i see him every day but dont really make eye contact. we are both kinda quiet, & neither really talks much to our dad who is kinda the same way, just a little more talkative (he asks just the necessary stuff). my mom talks all the time though. i used to have a connection w/ my brother, but now none at all. is it just a phase, normal, not a big deal, or bad??

You're both going from adolescents to adults. Give it time.

It's normal to have a falling out with siblings who are in a different stage in life. Try connecting with him again, mention something he's interested or suggest a fun day for the two of you that he will also enjoy. Maybe he's just waiting for you to make the move and he thinks you don't want to have a relationship with him.

I think it is a big deal. If you guys used to be close and now you are not and you don't know why, I would be finding out. Something serious may be going on in his life. I would take the time to stop him one day and just re-connect again. Hey, he's your brother.
