I really think that you need to let your parents know what you think is going on. I know that as a parent I would want to know. You need to leave the responsiblity of what to do in your parent's hands and be willing to help with what ever they decide.

Teen years are such hard years. They want to have their freedom but with that freedom comes responsiblity. The things that are done at this age, or any age for that matter, can affect you for the rest of your life. A disabling car accident, getting a girl pregnant, getting addicted to drugs, hanging out with the wrong crowd, so many things that can affect your future all because of not thinking what can happen. Do you think that any teen wants to go through life with problems hanging over them? No, but many do because of not caring enough about what's ahead of them. This is the speech to give to your brother. Good luck!
