Problem:

I found out that my brother is not attending his classes. He comes to school everyday but heis in the company of his "barkada". He always asks money from my mom. What will I do?

Advice:

First, try to talk to your brother and ask him why is he not attending his classes, why does he keep on going with his barkada and whereis he spending the money he is always asking from your mom. If he answers you and tells the truth ask him to stop what he is doing, leave his barkada and focus on his studies. But if he denies and he doesn't answer your questions, try to talk to your parents and tell them what your brother is doing so they will be the one to make the move, to talk to your brother seriously and ask him what he is doing so he will be corrected.

Reaction:

I'll try to do it but to talk to my parents if my brother denies, maybe I can only talk to them on Sunday for they are working from monday to Saturday but I think what you advised me is the best thing to do because if I will not make a move, there will come a time that me and my parents would have a hard time leading him to the right track again. Thank you very much!
