Re: My little brother...

I'm a little surprised at how many people are brushing off your concerns. :/ As an older sister I know how incredibly unhelpful "You're not the parent! You're the sibling!" can be. :( I'm in an incredibly difficult situation with my little brother right now and just because I didn't give birth to him doesn't mean I am not so incredibly invested in him that I would literally give up my own health and happiness to fix everything for him.

I've gotta say this does not sound like a normal phase to me but obviously I don't have the expertise to make the call.

People do grow out of things. But they do so because they learn, not because some magical time period has passed. It doesn't sound like your brother is going to learn or grow from how he's being helped. If your parents can't handle him then I strongly think they need to involve a neutral professional.

But here's the thing. It doesn't sound like you're helping him. If anything you're enabling your parents mishandling of the situation and ensuring status quo. Go to college. Beg your parents to get a second opinion (even if you have to convince them it's just for your peace of mind) or at least some family counseling.
