Socialization

Growing up with two brothers was a lot of fun. My older brother is 5 years older than me so he wasn't around a lot growing up. However, my younger brother is only 15 months younger than me. He has always been a trouble maker. Since fourth grade, calls home from teachers went from once in a while to everyday by his sophomore year in high school. My little bro chose to leave Stevenson where he is in class with other kids with behavioral or social problems. Sometimes I feel trouble just finds him. He is smart, he just doesn't apply himself. I feel like this puts a lot of pressure on me. My parents have him to worry about all the time that I don't want to give them any more worries. I learned this from a young age and I always wanted to be a role model to him. A major drawback of trying my best to be a good kid is that when you mess up, its not just a little deal, its parents asking you and bugging you about it all the time. I thing that because I try so hard to do my best that my parents should leave me alone, I'll make it. My little brother is who they should be worried about. Besides, they don't even know the half of it.
