You need to get help. There is no way you can handle this by yourself, and there is no reason you should have to.


I'd suggest going to an adult that you trust, such as a grandparent, aunt/uncle, school counselor or the parent of a close friend. They will be able to help you much more than you'll be able to help yourself. You also mentioned drugs in your question. If they are prescription, I'd highly recommend talking to your brother's doctor about it. If they're not prescrpition, then that is a very, very bad situation that you need to find help for immediately.


But for now, just stay calm with your brother. Do NOT get violent with him. Be the bigger person, and stay away from stopping to his level.

Whenever he gets angry/violent, just stay calm. Talk to him in a low and soothing voice, and tell him that everything is going to be ok. Tell him that it is ok for him to be upset, but he needs to calm down and find another way to vent. Find something that makes him happy (a stuffed animal, a song, a hobby, anything) and give it to him when he gets angry.

It's time to tell someone. If he is only 12 years old and you are sure he is on drugs then you should get him help before it's too late. Like the last person said, Go to the police. I know it might be a hard choice for you but it's better than it being too late. Remember, You are his older sister and you are only doing what is best for him.

Drugs ruin peoples lives so you have to piss him off to help him. Inform your mom, talk to his teachers, call the police and bust him if you have to. He's twelve, and if hes a physical threat to you, you must have people with you for protection. Stage an intervention, cuz your brother is too young to get involved in stupidity like that.
