And try so hard to give them an easier life and good attitude but everything you do gets undone by other people and you cant stop it?
My brother is not my child but I try so hard to save him from everything going on around him and himself but I cant if everyone contradicts what I tell him. I just want him to have a better life and I dont think everyone else always has the right idea but they supercede me.

What you're doing is the right thing, regardless of what everybody else does. That's all you can do is teach him the right way to go, hopefully he knows or will know the difference. I'm sure you will have a positive impact on his life, even if you've only taught him 1 thing, he'll always remember it and always remember YOU taught him that, then he'll remember that everything else you said and did was right too. I admire you for looking out for him and wanting the best for him, you are heaven sent. Other kids could learn a thing or two from you. Good luck and keep up the good work! : )

You don't say what your ages are, or where your parents are in all this. The best you can do as a loving sister is be a good example to your brother and to tell him that "Mom, Dad, Grandparents, etc., " would be proud of you both. It doesn't matter if he gives you lip or grief because his friends are around. He probably is secretly proud.
As for those who contradict or try to supersede your older sister authority, you need to "blow them off" with humor. They are seeing your soft side, but you need to fight for what is right in your family. And Especially about your brother. So saying something like "when you get to be as old as I am then you'll know this much..." Something like that that YOU feel comfortable saying and yet TOTALLY puts them down! Practice this in front of a mirror. It helps!
Remember... you are an actor on a stage and you get to help be and to say anything you want to! How are these kids or other people going to know the difference??? YOU are the authority aren't you??? This is your convidence builder. I hope this helps... good luck!

I have never run into this situation. But do not give up on what you are doing. Continue to be a good role model and teach him good morals and values. He will not forget what you are teaching him. Please do not give up. This young man needs you. You sound like you are the best thing and person in his life. You can make a difference.

I told my mom and sister lots of stuff whenever the time arose for it to be told to them, (try out for this sport, this teacher helps a lot with this or that) and made sure to tell my teachers about my sister over the years. (I'm eight years older.) I prayed for her everyday. She now has a very good opportunity at life that I never had and I'm glad for her. Sometimes you can influence others to help by appealing to them.

That is so nice that you care about him so much. The best I can tell you is to keep talking to him..and explain why you feel the way you do...he will always know that you loved him and cared enough for him to go against what others think. You rock!!

You and other people need to focus more on your own lives I would think. You cannot change anyone but your self and if your brother is an adult his choices are his-not your-responsibility. If he is a child then his parents are whom he should be held accountable to. Advice can be acted upon or rejected-it is his choice.
