My brother acts older than what he is

I was like that. Except when I went through that phase I was 12. I pierced my nose, my arm, my hand web, and my lip. I grew out of it. I'm even in college now and while I went through that phase I was getting all A's. If all he is doing is piercing and coming/going then I doubt there is anything to really worry about. He is just a teenager. However, find out what he does when he leaves the house because that could be a problem.

well,,,i also have a brother even he is also very naughty and mischevious. but as far i have seen this is an age time when children become very stuborn and always seeks freeom; they always wish to have a life of their own; if you become strict with him at this time it will affect him very badly. it will make him more stubborn and rebelious. as a sister you should be very freindly with him so you know he will come to you and open up evrything ; that time you can advice him...something . but for heaven sake dont be strict with him

I don't think I've ever known one teenage boy that hasn't gone through this. They want to be a man but they want to stay a kid; it's so confusing to them. If there's no male role model it makes it doubly so. My brother and sister and I grew up without a dad so it was really hard for us. My brother would act up, hit us and, had to be sent off to a boy's ranch at one time. It's rough because mom had to be the sole disciplinarian when things arose. For us girls it wasn't too big of a deal but to my brother it was 'heck' because she didn't know how to help him. Today he is married and very happy. It would definitely help if your fiance and him could become friends; perhaps your fiance could ask him what he'd like to do at times and then spend a day with him doing those things, etc. He's going to almost have to get down to your brother's level a bit to gain his trust. I'm sure he'll remember what it was like at 15...Bless you all and I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

It's really difficult dealing with teenagers the hormones go crazy and especially with boys, they in ways are "becoming men" but their not there yet. It's a confusing time for them and hard on the parents. It would help if he had a good male role model but if not about all you and your mother can do is "ride out the storm" he will eventually grow up and realize mom was just thinking what was best for him.

It is a hard thing to be a teenage boy. Their trying to be a man but not quite there yet. He is confused and doesn't know what to do about it. He is rebelling and if you asked him why he would not be able to tell you. My mom had five boys and had to go through this five times. And each time it happened it was the same thing. Needless to say when the fifth boy was through it she was the most relieved parent I have ever seen.
