Re: Siblings
Nia, does he have a closer bond with one of your younger sisters? if so it shouldnt really matter, all siblings have different type of relationships according to there ages, and who they follow. And the youngest child is always more child like... probably because they have been mollicoddled by the older ones.
He may have been brought up to respect you as an elder sis and there cannot be as open with you as he would be to another sis...he is only 17 and will have lots of "secrets" and will be going through that strange phase of turning to adulthood, give him a few years and he'll be a different person. hmmmn, not sure he would want you to see the "other " side to him.As long as you have someone in the family that he is close to and talks to.
You say he is a poor decision maker.... remember he is only young and you need to make mistakes in life to learn from....
If he is growing away from the family ,its likely that its a "growing up thing" he's doing his own things and becoming more independent..... come on you cant keep him wrapped up in cotton wool.
I dont understand when you say
"He wont talk to a girl unless girl talks to him. I keep an eye on him but i feel that is not enough. He would lower his eyes when a girl is passing by etc. "
what would you like him to do?... look at the girl... from top to bottom or gauge out his eyes and place them in your hands till the danger period is over.
Nia, from what you say, to the credit of your parents and your family .... your brother sounds like a perfectly well brought up, well balanced young man.
come on Nia, at seventeen he's still a baby!:)
