"When I was 18 I lived by myself...in my parents house, they were too busy with my stupid brother, who was locked up in Juvenile detention since he was 12... "
When I was a teenager I gave my parents so much grief they probably wished that I lived by myself in ANOTHER house. When two Protestant parents consider sending their son to a strict Catholic high school to straighten him out, you know they're desperate! The threat of that caused me to mature overnight.
I hope your brother eventually straightened out.
Nah, he's still the same, he'll be 27 next year, still acts like a 16 year old sometimes...Just wish he would have some kind of eye opening experience that will get his head screwed on right, but I doubt it will happen though...
