Help me fix this please!
I found out that my brother smoked pot and I saw that he kept doing it so I told my mom (who doesn't believe me) but now my brother is being a jerk when all I wanted to do was help him what should I do?

im just going to tell you straight forward ive been around many drug addicted people and its never pretty. just because alot of people do it doesnt mean its ok. i dont know if your brothers dangerous or not but drugs can change people to bad you dont know where he keeps it because then you could secretly show it to your mom. what i dont understand is why your mom wouldnt believe you. maybe you could get him some flyers for getting off drugs seminars or counseling. if he gets alittle bent out of shape then hell get over it. if hes big enough to do drugs then hes big enough to accept the consequences and if your going to push this any further youll have to accept that your brother will be mad at you. hes in the wrong not you but if you do do anything more you will also have to be able to handle and accept the consequences that come to you as wel even though your in the right.

i know you care abotu your brother and everything but if i were you, id let it go..because the more you ell on him and tell your mom stuff, the angrieer hes going to get at you..and by the looks of it you dont like when hes mad at you..i mean it might not be a wonderful/healthy thing smoking pot..but many people do it usually its just a stage..who knows maybe he will stop within a few days or weeks or something..

Try to catch your brother doing pot with your mother by your side. Also check for symptoms of smoking pot. If your mom is still refusing it, then bring it to another adult.

STEEL THE POT! then prove it to your mom

You can't ignore the problem and hope that it goes away. If your brother keeps using drugs, it could seriously hurt him, or worse. But you knew that already.
Anyway, it's good that you want to help your brother. But you can't do it alone. You need to talk to your mom again. Tell her that you're completely serious, that you aren't lying, and that you would never lie to her about something like that. Let her know that you care about your brother, don't want to see him hurt, and genuinely want to get him help.
As for your brother acting like a jerk... I don't really like saying this, but there's not much you can do about that. Drugs are addictive. For some, if not most, drug users, the drug becomes their life. They don't like things to come between them and their drugs.
Later on in life, he'll thank you. It takes time, but he'll appreciate the fact that you care for him so much.
I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

he doesnt want your help. let him make his own mistakes, and honestly telling your mom was prolly the wrong thing to do. if he dont learn the hard way he not gunna learn at all. his choice. his business.

If I were you, I would have a one-on-one talk with your brother, and tell him that you only told your mom because you wanted to help him, and that you don`t want him to be mad at you. And for your mom, tell her that you wouldn`t lie about something like that, and that you really are trying to help him.
Hope I Helped. =)
