Im scared for when my brother goes to college!
My brother is about to go to college. Im scared. I know he's a good kid, but he has made some really stupid mistakes in his life. And in college, im afraid that he will make a retarded move and end up arrested or even dead. He will ovbliously drink (who doesnt in college) but we are a Christian family who doesnt approve of sex before marriage. I dont want him to give himslef away. And if i talk to him about my concers, he just gets upset. He say that he wont do any of that. That he is just joking about doing girls and stuff. How can I ease my anxiety and be sure that hes safe?
Female, 14.

I can understand your concern, but your brother is a big boy now, and college will be the time of his life! That doesn't mean he will party his nights away, but he'll really grow into himself. It's true that most people drink in college, but if he's a good kid and was raised in a Christian family like you say, he should know his limit and probably wont go too over the top. EVERYBODY makes mistakes in life, it's just human nature. Yeah he will probably make several mistakes in college, but does that make him any less important to you? He would probably be there for you when you make mistakes, no one is perfect and you have to understand that. If assures you he wont do anything, believe him. On the other hand, he is a teenage guy starting his life. He will make his own choices, mistakes included, and branch out from the family. You just need to be there for him and support him. Remind him of your concerns, talk to him about it, and wish him the best. There's not much else you can do. Good luck!
