My brother?!?!?

My brother gets in trouble a lot. Hes always getting suspended from school or getting in trouble at home constantly. Its so bad my Mom cant even let him be home by himself because he will end up going some where and doing stuff hes not supposed to. He takes the strongest medication that allowed for his age because he has ADHD and it help a little bit but not a lot. But lately the thing that been bothering me the most is that my Mom and Step dad (who is pretty much my dad) Keep arguing all the time about the right way to discipline him. Its constant no. all they do is argue about it. And it going absolutly crazy its gwtting to the point where my moms started leaving our house and staynig somewhere else for the day and night. They cant agree on what to do and its driving me crazy. how do i get my brother to behave and my partents to stop fighting? *note* my brother is 13

Well I think that your brother is just going through a phase where he's just reckless all the time. Try talking to him to see if anything is wrong and try to help him if you can. Tell your parents that you'd look after him to kind off get a little bit of their backs. But the best way to deal with this is just to talk to him and maybe be a bit of a guidance counselor to him and just hope that it'll all blow over. Remember that he is only a kid so yeah. Good luck and message me if you want to talk :)

Often times, parents do not realize the effects that their actions have on children. Be honest with your parents, tell them that their arguing is upsetting you and it's not right that you and your brother have to live with that inconsistency. Be respectful but be honest. Relationships need honesty and I think your parents will respect that. As for your brother, talk to him. Show him how much he's upsetting you and hurting your parents relationship. Ask him whether doing stupid stuff is worth tearing your family apart. He may not realize how serious it is. If worse comes to worse, try to talking to another family member, maybe an aunt, uncle or grandparent. Sometimes, it's easier for adults to listen to other adults criticize them. Like I said, be open and honest and have patience. It may take a while to get through to them, but it should pay off in the end. Good luck (:
