Is it right??..

if you want to pull him out from the barkada that he is hanging out with, bring him out to the province where the people are good natured ones. have him fend for himself there. he may be living with an uncle or an aunt, any reliable relative. then he will have to work for a living so he will not be a burden for the people whom he will be living with. if you let him live with his barkada, that will only make matters worse. bringing him away from them will be the best solution to this problem. i did this to my daughter once. now she is doing fine. no regrets for me.

How old is your brother?. Maybe he just wanted to live on his own. If he want to be with his friends, if he is on his right age, allow him. That's his life. But tell him to do not blame you just incase there is no happening in his life, because it is him who choose he wanted to do with his life. Actually, when we are in our right age, we choose our path towards life, and if that path may lead us to bad, it is our lesson learned. I wish your brother will not regret what his doing with his life.

oh gee thats not very good, i know where your coming from, a while back my brother was exactly the same. theres not muc you can really do for him really, other than support him and try help direct him into a job. i think soon he gets a job that he likes then he will change, thats what happened to my brother. and also your brothers friends, you need to make sure if any that are a bad influence on him stay away.

I am so sorry that your brother is having difficulties dealing with the reality of becoming an adult....it seems that it is causing you and your mother pain...I know that you love your brother.... I commend you for attempting to help him obtain employment..and if he is not going to go to school then yes, he needs to be working.....how old is he?? I am also sorry that your mother is having to go through this....I have been there..it is a very difficult position to be in.....she wants the best for him, as do you.... If he is unwilling to listen to your mother's rules then he does not deserve to live under her roof...it is a matter of respect... I hope that ya'll will be able to make him understand what he is doing to himself...show your support...and continue praying.... I will pray for ya'll, my friend...

If you have relatives in the province, then let him stay there wait till he changes. Maybe he needs new friends that are good people, and ask your relative there to look after him. I think it will help too.

i think your mother needs to change her approach to pulling your brother back into line. the more he gets into trouble, the more he will distance himself from you two. i think making him stay at a freinds is a bad idea, it will make him angry and resentful. try goin away for a weekend with him and talk to him calmly about your concerns but dont make him feel like he is being ganged up on. if you are away from home then he cant run away to somewhere familiar. good luck!!
