Cousins drug use effecting brother?
Well my cousin smokes weed. let's call him Jake. He did it when he was like 16-18 then he stopped. He is now 20. We were at our Christmas dinner and Jake asked my other cousins let's call them Sammie and Lucy to go smoke in their car. Well they said ok and let him do it and I was texting Lucy and she said that he was smoking weed. I am scared that he will get my brothe into it that is 16 Years old. Let's call him Garry. Well Garry looks up to Jake and he changes his personality a bit when Jake is arround. My brother Garry says he would ne'er get into it because it's stupid but I feel like if he was asked by Jake to do it then he would say yes and take A puff or aomething. What should I do!?

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
Have you thought about talking with a responsible adult? Our friends and especially family, can have a profound effect on the way we act. It is very important that you let one of your parents or other adult family members know what is happening.
Its hard to tell on others. But saving someone's life is far more important than being called a snitch. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Smoking weed is a crime. Buying it, selling, sharing it, are all illegal. Don't be passive about any form of drug abuse.
Talk to your brother, "Garry" about what it means to be a role model. Make him think about whether cousin "Jake" is an example worth copying. Anyone who would invite you to have part in a self-destructive behavior has no true genuine love for you or your well-being. It doesn't matter if he is your blood.
Be selective when it comes to who you hang around. Your friends will affect you. Make wise choices when it comes to your companions. Cousins and other peers can either make you or break you. Don't allow your brother or others to be broken by Jake's horrible frame of mind. Get help- either a parent, a trusted aunt or uncle, even a teacher.
