So, I am 19 years old and have a brother who is 16 years old of whom i care very much about and want the only the best for. However, I am afraid with the crowd he is hanging around with that there are some things that might possibly be going on that I and my parents truly disagree with. I know that he is drinking I know that for sure because he tells me that, I know he has had sex but I only know of one time that he has done so. Drinking as long as it is in moderation and on occasion is not a big deal to me even though i wish he wouldnt do it at all considering he is only 16 and drinking can supposedly stunt brain development and learning. The other thing is sex which doesnt really bother me much either i guess. But the thing that really bothers me that I become more and more aware of is smoking. Now i dont know for sure at all if he smokes or what he smokes if he does. I have talked to him before and said dont do drugs dont smoke cigarettes. And I have asked him if he has and he says no i have not done that. Well the other day him and 7 - 10 of his buddies were leaving the house around 10:00 to go to Taco Bell is what my bro told my mother and one of his friends said "Jaime do you have a lighter". Without thinking I said maybe up in my bedroom (ex boyfriend used to smoke and left lighters all the time in my car). As I walked up the steps a bit it clicked what he had really asked me and I said "why would you need a lighter?" and he replied with "oh nevermind" and quickly went out the door. I went to my room pretended like i was looking came back downstairs and his friend was standing there and i said "dont have one sorry" and he then left. My brother then came down the stairs and i asked where he was going he said "somewhere, bye." and closed the door. I dont know what do or how to talk to him and figure out why his friend needed a lighter. I dont know whether to tell my parents (who i am very close with and tell everything) what his friend asked me. And I really want to figure out if he is smoking and if so what he is smoking without being a nagging sister. Help!!! Any suggestions on how to go about this. sorry its so long.
