My Younger Brother's Problem

Tweet

My younger brother (the name's Dino) has a talent in dancing and gymnastics. He's an active member in the high school dance troupe and gymnastics. Because he loves both groups, he decided to be active on both. However, there's this incident where he made a series of backflips and then something crunched somewhere in his back, making him crying with agony. Dino and my mom then went to the hospital to have it checked - and the doctor said my brother shouldn't perform anymore gymnastics because it'll only make his back worse. My brother became so bothered nowadays because the school counts on him on the gymnastics since there will be a program where gymnastics will perform... My brother's highly popular because of his gymnastic skills since he started since he was still in freshmen (he's now a senior in high school)... But since he has a back injury... In a month, my brother will finally be an official member of the gymnastics performers if he continues to practice with his mentor.. But then my mother forbids him to continue, and they got into a heated arguement that resulted to a lot of yelling. My brother said that it's his dream to become a performer. My mother angrily reasoned that she doesn't want anything bad to happen to him because of the previous accident my dad experienced because of an injury.. My brother got so pissed and told my mother that he wants to continue but he'll just be careful about his injury.. "Mom, just a month - then I'll stop okay? Just let me be an official member of the gymnasts! Everyone's counting on me, Mom!" "Just a month?! A lot of things can happen in a month! Don't you understand?! I don't want you to get hurt by this silly organization.. You won't be able to bring what you learned in gymanastics in college anyway!" "You don't understand, Mom. This is my dream! And I want to pursue it.. I've been practicing for years, and you want me to quit!?!" And so on.. I feel so bad about their arguement. They didn't speak to each other for a long time now.. I want to talk to both of them to settle things out.. But I don't know how. I'm afraid they won't be able to settle things out. I know I should not interfere but what else should I do? If my mom still won't allow him to continue the gymnasts, my brother will really be miserable - and hate my mom because he failed his dream... If my mom will allow my brother to continue the gymnasts, there'll be a big chance that my brother will get badly hurt! But he'll be able to be an official member - dream come true for him.. Do you have opinions about this situation?? Please help!
