My brother is 19 and he smokes. He recently dropped out of college, does drugs, curses at everyone, has sex, cheats on his girlfriend, quit his job, and was kicked out of my house. I really miss him and I want the OLD brother I had that used to play with me and stuff. Now he doesn't write letters or emails or calls my family. And he doesn't keep in touch with his friends so no one knows where he is...what should I do!?!?

If you get the chance to talk to him again, maybe you should tell him how you feel. How you love him more than anything and how much being an older brother has meant to you through out the years. I know he may not listen, not now, but soon he will realize the road he is on is bad. I was dating a guy and a long story short, his stepbrother was a guy I liked my whole middle school career. This kid, the stepbrother, is 17 and is into coccaine, pot, alcohol, sex and onter drugs. He dropped out of highschool at 15. I cried the whole rest of the night knowing he hasn't changed.The point to my story is, that even though I cry and want him to change, he needs to make his decision on his own. That may not be the answer you want, but the only things left for you to do, are offer him help and pray about it.
The kid I was just telling you about is facing up to 10 years in jail, no im not saying your brother is or needs to go to jail, but I know jail will pull my date's stepbrother away from the drugs, and then he can choose to turn his life around. The same may need to happen with your brother. I am so sorry though.

but one thing... be careful. before doing any of this i want you to promise me that you will first consult this with your parents and make sure that they are ok with this. if you dont ask them first, they are probably going to panic and think that you want to be with him and that he will influence you to be like him. which i think your parents wouldnt want you to do.
