(13,141 posts)I don't know where your parents were, but they should
have stood behind you on this.
So much goes on that parents don't even know about.
When a kid knows the parent will always support him,
even when he makes a mistake or a bad choice, it gives
strength and courage to make good independent choices.
And when everyone comes down on you, you've tried to
do the right thing but are being accused of the wrong,
a parent should be there to step up and defend you.
The world and its authorities are hard/insane enough
for a kid. I've seen too many instances where parents
side with the insane authorities. When my kids were in
HS it was like that.. shocking. Parents siding with teachers
against kids. Mass disapproval, chronic punishments.
Thanks for trying .. I hope your brother remembers and
treasures you.
