[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 427338, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome to the board. You are quite a caring sister. It would help if we had more background on your brother. What country do you live in? You can certainly approach your parents, however it is up to them if they actually do anything. I think there will be a breaking point where they will decide to get him help, but it may be too late by then. You can tell them you want to talk to them, sit them both down, and gently make a case for why you feel it would be "safer" for all of you if brother got help NOW. You can also GENTLY point out that he has not stopped his behavior. If you feel frightened sometimes, certainly bring that up. Do you think he uses drugs or drinks too much? In the US, ODD isn't a likely a diagnosis one would get by age sixteen. It would be something else. ODD is used mostly for young kids and usually does not stand alone. [/QUOTE]
