I recently found out from a neighbor that my brother was smoking weed. Now he has been acting out and disappering with his friends, and his grades are horrible. But would I be wrong if I told on him?

Go to your Brother one-on-one first. . . .Try to reason with him. . .don't be preachy, but just let him know that you love him. . .& make clear to him that his behavior is hurting you. . . if he doesn't get it. . .try to go to a relative or family friend who won't tell your parents, but is mature & expierence. . .yet who won't be super preachy, to attempt to talk to your brother. . . .

Go ahead and tell on him if you really think that your parents don't know. Do you really think that they don't know something is going on with his grades being bad, his acting out and disappearing?

IT WOULD NOT BE WRONG. some things u dont have to tell like if they spilled food or something. but thats serious. he can get into a lot of trouble.

I think in the long run you are helping him. You may ask your parents to keep it between you and them as far as who told them he was smoking pot.

No you would not be wrong. You might just save him from getting in to something much worse.

i think you should tell your parents now. it's something that will help your brother in the long run. he may get in trouble now, but overall telling on him will help him.

definitely not... you want to tell someone before it gets wayyyyy out of control!! dont look at is as "tattle-taleing" or "telling on".... look at it as informing your family of something they have a right to know

try to do an intervention, that way he can't peg the one person who didn't tell everyone, plus he can get the help he needs.

You should tell a.s.a.p even if hes mad make up for it, its either watch a family member die or get him mad.

the sooner you tell, the better. talk to a doctor for drugs first if you can b4 u tell your parents.
the later u tell, the more it will KILL him.
