Last night my mom got called out of town for work so she called my brother to stay at our house with me. There was this party at my friends cause his parents were out of town and when I told my brother he said I couldnt go. Im 14 I can make my own decisions. So I tried to sneak out and he said if I did he would ground me for a month. And my mom would let him. Usally we get along great but know hes being so mean. Why is he acting like this?

He's only trying to protect you.

Just like everyone else said, he's not being mean. You are still a child. The only decisions you can make are what you are going to wear, eat, or read. If an adult tells you "no" your only option is to get over it. Making bad decisions now will always come back to haunt you in the end. Stop thinking about "right now" and think about what could happen later on. Say you did sneak out, then you would have been grounded for a month and probably would have missed out on a bunch of other things that you could have participtated in...is it worth ONE night? Think about it.
You should be thankful you have someone who cares enough about you to do this for you.

He's not being mean for the fun of it - he's being responsible, because he promised his sister he would watch over you and the house. You are 14 - the only decisions you can make are those that the legal parent or guardian allow you to make. In this case you were not allowed to go to the party. So what? There will be others, and this would have been a great opportunity to hang out with him and get to know him better. Who knows, you might have found that more worthwhile anyway.

Because he is being responsible.
Because a party at a home where the parents are out of town is no where for a 14 yo.
Because he loves you.
Because you are NOT old enought to make your own GOOD decisions (obviously).
Anymore questions?
By the way - it's not being mean - it's called being an adult. When you get there - you'll get it.

Ok, you are his younger sister, and wants the best for you. He is a guy, and was your age at one time, and knows exactly what the guys will say and do to get to you. He wants you safe and wants you to get through school, maybe college, without having a baby, or being on drugs. That young lady is what is called having someone love you, and want the best for you.You are very lucky to have him for a brother, and maybe you need to take time to think about some of the other kids, that have family that don't care what happens to them.

at 14 you cannot make your own decisions- well, at least a well informed decision. teenagers don't think about long term consequences to their actions. Your big brother is looking out for you and just wants what is best for you so appreciate it.

You are 14!! You are a child, you are not able to make your own decisions yet. He made a wise choice. Stop acting like a spoiled brat.

He's a big brother all he's doing is looking out for his younger sister. Just continue to love him and listen to him hes gone through a lot of your problems already.
