Author Topic: I'm worried about my brother  (Read 1487 times)

So as some of you may know I recently moved from sweet, sweet California to slightly less sweet Michigan. It was a bit of hassle and we are living in a house that is free as  long as my dad keeps working where he does. And as a result of moving to a new place, that means moving to a new school. Now I'm sure we all know the whole awkward feeling of being that new kid who knows no one at the school, but I mean I'm a pretty social guy so I usually get by after maybe a week. And since I'm doing a fall sport, I'm already chill with a number of people.

The problem is my brother. He is about 17 (i think) and going into senior year of highschool, I'm 14 and going in to sophomore year of highschool. We get along fine, I mean we are brothers and we have disagreements and stuff, but we're cool. We are just so different though, and this is what I'm worried about.  He's this tall, nerdy kid who is just really anti-social, like I mean you could mistake him for autistic or something. He gets a 4.0+ each year, straight A's, doesn't play any kind of sport and isn't in any way physically fit, still a virgin, only had one girlfriend and it was pretty weak. And his attitude sometimes gets the better of him, I mean he's just such a smartass all the time and gets over his head sometimes, y'know?

So basically I'm worried he's gonna get roughed up a lot. And I can fight for him, and I will if it comes to that, but I don't want it to come to that. When we moved here I was happy because I mean no more gang stuff, no more danger y'know? But now I'm going to have to deal with this bullstuff and I don't want my brother to get hurt and I sure as hell don't want to hurt my parents by doing something dumb. I wouldn't tell him this, but I do love my brother, and he means a lot to me.

This isn't some "i think my brothers a loser lol what a pusillanimous individual" thread, I'm actually worried about him and I'm just wondering if there was anything I could do. I don't know, I'm kinda stressed about it.

tl;dr please read thank you

Seniors dont get "bullied". In fact, I see rarely any bullying in High School (at least in mine)

what's wrong about being 17 and still a virgin?

What area in Michigan :O

This isn't some kiddie playground and I'm worried someone's going to steal his lunch money or something, I'm not afraid he's gonna run crying home that someone called him fat.

I'm pretty solid about everything I said in the op and I'm also not even sure why you replied unless you can read that much in 5 seconds.

Carol, please. I never said anything was wrong with it, I knew someone was going to come in and call me out on berating him for what I said. I was just trying to enforce what I was saying about him not being very good with people, sorry if it offended you.
Workout with him
He doesn't workout or do any sort of sport. I'm not going to force him to bring down his grades just so he can lift weights with me after school for a couple hours.





teach him to fight, then teach him to forget. then teach him to forget who he fights.

I sound a lot like your brother, but younger. I'm never bullied, so my advice is to not worry about it, especially if it didn't happen in California. Sweet of you to care about your brother, though.

Yeah, it would be nice to not worry about it, the thing is that I'm pretty sure it will happen. The reason he didn't have any problems in Cali was because personal.

He killed all of his brother's enemies with a hunting rifle, that's why they had to move.
