I Really Don’t Know What to Do Please Help…?

Question by xpunkxgirlx14: I really don’t know what to do please help…?
I recently found out that my older brother (23) is taking pills (Percocet and other pain pills). I really don’t know what to do. I don’t know where he gets them or who from but I am very worried. I’m 16 and I really love my brother so much and I would die if anything happened to him… But if I tell anyone, he’ll hate me and never talk to me again. WHAT SHOULD I DO???

Talk to him and tell him your concerns. My little brother died with an overdose of vicodin cough syrup. You build up a tolerance, and have to take more. Sometimes That little bit more could be fatal. Just talk to him first. If he is being stubborn, and you really think he has a problem, definatley tell someone. Who cares if he gets mad. You are looking out for him and his life!

Awsome question.

i would deffentaly mention it to your mother or father. tell them that they need to understand that he cant know it was you that told on him …i understand how much you care for him and how you dont want to ruin your relationship with him . but you whave to think of what could happen to him if he doesnet stop … you said your self that you would die. you know what best for you to do. it just might be a very hard thing but it mihgt save his life
