My Brother

I hate to say it but for some parts of my life I have hated my brother for being different. I wish that I could act like a normal guy but I know he cant. I know he's been through some really rough times with our dad (who i think feels the same way at times) but I just wish he could act a certain way so I dont have to explain anything to people or answer stupid questions like "Why is your brother like that?" "Is he gay?" "Are you sure?"

Don't be disappointed. I understand though, it can be extremely awkward at times, and definitely is embarrassing. But this person is you brother, and even if you don't want to, love him. So what if he's different, that's his personality. And if it really does get bad, tell him, he'll understand, he loves you. That's what siblings are for, to love you and embarrass you, I know, I have five.

Just try and be there for him no matter how much you wish he was more normal. It must be really tough for him having his father being disappointed with who he is. If you do that too it's like you're telling him you don't accept who he is. It's not like he chooses to act like that. But you can choose to try and be more accepting. And for anyone who asks it isn't really their business, and by them asking it just shows they have poor taste. I'm guessing you're a teenager, you're gunna learn that not everyone fits a mold and there is nothing you can do to change that. Truth is c'est la vie (that's life).

Just let your bro be as he is. There is nothing wrong if he isn't breaking the law. Tell your friends to just step off if they have a problem with your bro. He is blood, and in the end, blood is what matters most.

Maybe it's hard but at the same time- don't be one of those people that waits until tragedy strikes to remember the good things about him. Then you'll really be sorry...

Just because he's not the same as you doesn't mean he's not normal. He's your brother, that's how he was born, that's how he'll stay. I know it can be hard sometimes, but anyone who asks those stupid questions isn't worth your time. Just remember that even if those other people all left, he'd still have your back, and it'll make it easier.

What is wrong with being different? If your friends have a problem with him then perhaps you should consider who you are friends with because it sounds like they are closed minded drones. To crush individuality is the cruellest of all the atrocities of the school playground.
