[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 661759, member: 11791"] It would be more useful if one of your parents came here, because there is way more they can do, than what you can do. But, just in case you are able to discuss some of this with them, here's my take on it. We don't know anything about your brother, but I'm going to suspect that either he has some known challenges - things that have been diagnosed - or, he has some as yet undiagnosed challenges. He may have trouble making friends. There may be bullying going on. He may be struggling in school. Often, schools will tell parents that their kid is just a "discipline problem", rather than flag the real challenges, so school isn't a good place to go for an opinion on how he is doing. I'd be locking up ALL cash. For a couple of years, I had to get used to carrying NO cash at all, until we could get some understanding of my kid's issues and challenges. And then, I'd be looking for a really comprehensive evaluation - the kind that cannot be done by schools, and which usually has a long wait list but is worth it. [/QUOTE]
