Tell the principal what is going on and that you fell threatened. As for getting your brother in trouble, you are not responsible!!! Your brother is responsible for his own actions. Stay strong. Try to go see the counselor at school if that will help.

Thank you, but the principles don’t even try anymore. I do talk to my counsler, but it hasn’t been helping any.
Keep talking, talk to the police, teachers, find a trusting adult to confide to.
My parents are in volved, but at the same time i have had a hard time telling them everything the people have said, I am scared they really will do stupid things
And some of them have done stuff like this in the past…
what exactly did your brother do because certain stuff you can get off for pretty easy but other stuff not so much
My brother is a drug abuser and has robbed people (including my boyfriend) and he was on probation and didnt talk to his probation officer for about a week…
well if he has gotten bad then maby him getting caught is the help he needs because im guessing he doesnt listen to you all that well
Yes I know it is, just my dad has been in and out of jail and the last time he went to jail he was shot and killed, by a man that was there also. And even when my dad was there he was still able to get drugs. And my mom has always been able to get drugs in jail. It seems like the jails just dont really help anymore. And my brother is the only family I have left. It just sucks, and I feel like it is all my fault,
I also deal with seasonal depression and my doctor has said if I have another big “stresser” it may cause my to become depressed more often. I have been trying to fight this, but it just sucks…
Your brother being arrested is not all your fault. Your brother being arrested is I’m very sure, all HIS fault, for whatever he has been doing, while using drugs. Just because you talked to someone about where to find him, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have been found and arrested anyways. If you’re brothers friends are threatening you, keep talking to everyone, whether they listen or not. Tell the principal you are being threatened, and give him names. Tell you teachers, and give them names. Tell the counselor, and give them names. Tell your doctor what happened to your brother, and about his friends threatening you, and see if he has suggestions. If you don’t have parents at home, and your brother is gone, who is your guardian now? Talk to them, and see what can be done? Maybe you can be bussed to a different school district, live with a different relative, try an alternative or online school situation, until your brother gets some new friends, or you get more capable of protecting yourself, and dealing with your other health issues. Just because people don’t do anything, or don’t seem to listen - Don’t stop talking! If it comes to it, go to the police if your brothers friends threaten you more now that he is in jail. They may not listen at first, but the more you talk to more people, and have the same problems, someone will start to listen and take you seriously.
Go the police for your safety- maybe also for his.
-Best of Luck

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I live with my fathers cousin and his wife. They try to help, but it doesnt really do much. I wouldnt have any other people to move in with. I dont want to move now, I graduate in 3 and 1/2 months and counting down the days!!! But I hope I can make it through. Thank you very much.
Thinking it is your fault is what the drug users and dealers want you to do. God gave us all the power of free well. We all make our choices and we all have to live with them that includes your brother. you need to focus on yourself. place your faith in god and watch what happens. My daughter was arrested tonight for drugs. She called her dad for help because she had car problems. When dad got there someone had called 911 because her boyfriend was on a bad trip. The guy that called 911 felt so bad that she was going to jail. We thanked him. We have watched her going down and down and we can’t stop her. she is making her choices and we had to chose not to let her take us with her. I love her and hope and pray she will find god and the way to a clean and sober life. I feel horrid that I didn’t try to stop them and I will not bail her out. she has to hit the bottom before she can dust herself off and so does your brother. live life god first and focus on you. Hang in there ITS NOT YOUR FAULT and maybe he will get the help he needs
