Ever since my brother moved out of the house His lifestyle is getting worse. I think hes ditching more of his college classes because he is frequently staying home and just sleeping in days and then sneaking out at night. Im very worried about him because ever since he's left hes gotten skinnier and hes paler and more violent. I think he has a drug problem and Ive told my parents but they keep ignoring me and everytime i mention this to my brother he blows me off and gets mad at me. What should I do I am very worried about him :(

That's textbook substance abuse behavior. Intervention time. He's lucky to have a sister that cares.

Pray about it. Apparently you don't have the power to influence him, therefor their are few that probably do. But their is one person in control of everything and that is God. Pray that god will work in his life and show him a better way to live life. I later found out that people close to me had been praying for me.If you believe everything happens for a reason, than know that out of this he could become a very strong person. I myself have recovered from drug and alcohol problems and the only thing that got me through it was surrendering my life to god. If it werent for my past experiences in the dark i would'nt be here in the light to share my knowledge of how to get through the tough times. Never doubt the power of prayer. God Bless

I don't know. My bother has similar problems and is older. My brother and sister worry and talk to him about his problem. He has just started going to meeting and it helps. I just hate that he can be very self destructive at times. He does not live alone but with one of my brothers. He has to find the strenght himself to get and stay clean. he is still young enough to turn his life around.
A person has to want to change in order to do it. Hopefully your brother does take a long as mine did.

If he is doing drugs, he'll eventually get caught. Your parents can either face the facts or deny them, it's entirely up to them. Your brother makes his own choices, let him learn the hard way since he doesn't want to listen to reason.

Keep telling your parents your concerns, if they still ignore seek out another family member
