My little brother not being independent
14/f (8th grade)
I have a little brother (not so little anymore =]) who is 11 years old an in 6th grade. He will be in 7th grade next year and will be going to middle school. You see, I am really scared for him. He still sleeps in my mom's bed because he is scared of this Horror Movie he saw with his friends. He seriously can't do his homework/a project/study on his own without my mom and mine's help. He is not organized AT ALL with his school work and doesn't do so hot on his grades. At football practice, he needs mom to be there the whole time. At night he wont stay home alone because he gets too scared. Anyways, he is not very independent. When he goes to middle school I am terrified he is going to do worse in middle school (e.g. finding his classes, copying down homework, opening his locker, etc.) Is this normal for a boy? I mean he has a lot of friends and is very popular at his elementary school, but he is also very shy when meeting new people or at a new environment. I'm just really concerned for him. Since you are a parent Young Grandma, what do you say about this? Please respond to this asap!

I don't think his behavior is normal at all. I can see him being scared for a couple of days but its gone beyond that.
I think its probably time to send him to see a doctor. Just a regular general practitioner or pediatrician, doesn't have to be a special kind of doctor or anything. For some reason whatever movie
he saw triggered something in him to make him act like he's doing.
I think his doctor could help you and your mom in
knowing how to deal with whatever he is going through. :)
