Bong

In my backyard at this very moment sits a gravity bong and a two kink bong as my brother would call it. His whole life he's pretty much been a fuck up. He's not even a bad person or stupid for that matter but he feels that everything he says and does is correct.
First off, just a few moments ago, he was outside cleaning a Westchester 22 rifle my dad bought him because he just had to have it. you know why he's cleaning it? so he can rush off to the nearest pawn shop and get weed money.
I commented on this and he said "of course you would automatically throw me into the scum category because I'm pawning something."
and i replied "no, I'm throwing you into the scum category because you are pawning a gift from our freaking dad so you can get weed money that your going to smoke away in 20 minutes anyways and share with you bum friends."
ha ha this really made me laugh, you know what his response to this was. "yea share, something you don't know how to do." first of all, i know how to share, second of all, even if i didn't know how to share, what the hell does that have to do with you pawning your gun for weed money?
When he was younger my parents tried bribing him. First it started with clothes and having friends over, really good birthday parties, then it turned into a $300 go-ped here and a $400 harro bike every couple weeks since he left them outside circle k's and got one or two stolen. He went through 3 go-peds and 4 harro bikes and still was not satisfied. He took them apart, traded them with his friends for shittier things like parts or cigarettes, or lost them outside circle k. My parents finally stopped trying and he started smoking weed. It wasn't so bad at first and usually just calmed him down because he has a.d.h.d and doesn't take the medicine but then turned into a freaking obsession where he now "needs" it. I'm sorry, but no matter what position your in, its not needed.
He had a really good job as a back waiter for the pf changs in arrowhead. One morning, i woke up to him bitching at my mom because she wasn't at the house to pick him up yet. He called his work at 8 o'clock and told them he was going to be late when he didn't work until 10. How the hell was he going to be late when he had 2 hours? So after telling them this supposedly, they told him he was fired, before he had even been late, he was fired. thats another load of crap. They can't fire you for something you haven't done yet. So he lost that job. He got the lecture for my mom about how he could have still made it to work and there's no way they fired him before he was late and yada yada. Well then he says he's going to work at blaze because he already knows someone who works there and she is going to get him the job. He still is not working and this was at least 3 weeks ago.

OTHER THINGS THAT MAKE HIM FREAKING STUPID:
1. he thinks its ok to sleep in the same bed as his "best friend" who is a girl when he's dating someone.
-um. not ok. that and i definitely walked in on them doing something.
2. he takes my moms side on the fact that she is still married to my dad and is screwing someone who once called himself my fathers "friend"
-there is no gray area in between. having male friends is ok but when your still married, guy friends you screw is no ok.
3. he drank my sisters beer from the fridge and won't pay her back the full price of what she paid because he says she didn't pay that.
-idiot.

He knows i do not respect him and sometimes he asks me why i don't. It doesn't take a damn psychiatrist to figure out why i dislike him.

Bong got my attention... by 2 kink are you talking a Z(zig zag) bong, or talking a double perculated( 2 water pools(seperate)...

Everything, you have done, and will do, is chemically predisposed by matter, even the fact you are reading this message. You make no choices, only perceive a given reality.

It sounds like he hasn't found his passion yet, other than weed. Maybe if someone else seriously had a heart-to-heart with him it could help. He needs to find his priorities in life.

ha ha. yea. the thing is, I'm pretty sure almost everyone in my family has had a heart to heart with him.
he's said he wants to go to college but he's not making any effort what-so-ever to do so. that and spending all his money on weed isn't exactly helping him to get into college, i mean thats pretty expensive and all he cares about is himself and his weed.

No offense, but its people like your brother who ruin drugs for everyone. In my opinion, if you can't balance weed and the rest of your life, than you are lost. Weed is not even close to being a life/home wrecker, nor should it have that strong of a hold on someone. To be in the state of addiction that he is currently in, you would have to be one of the most irresponsible drug users out there. I never like blaming drugs on someones problems, but honestly, if he is going to address his main problems, he is going to have to quit that drug ( I feel like im having a conversation with a heroin addict). Clearly, he can not handle life and that drug, so in his life's best interest, someone has to talk to him. Like not a heart to heart or a "hey man, you gotta try better." Like a "hey, get your shit right, or get the hell out" would work fine, or it might make him just become more separated from your family.

Regardless of what you choose to do, he needs family to help him. He doesn't need rehab or anything crazy like that because its just weed, but nonetheless he is on the completely wrong path if he wants to be successful

...wtf is wrong with your parents?

Why do they keep getting him ridiculously enormous gifts that he repeatedly discards? Why did they get him that gun? Why are they allowing him to smoke weed on their property when he obviously is incapable of responsible substance use and he is putting them at legal risk?

No, you ask them. Come on, you're a big girl, you DO have some influence over your parents.
