My older brother is a rebel he hates authority and police and probably has been arrested about 15 times. My mom and dad are both lawyers and have always been able to get him off the hook cause our family has a lot of money. He is currently on probation for a stabbing and he's a big time alcoholic. He doesnt live in our city anymore he moved away he's only 23. He isnt as bad as he seems he has some mental problems cries a lot suffers from severe depression and has tried to commit suicide multiple times. He is not a evil person he has a big heart I've seen him cry and give money to homeless and he always sticks up for weak people he's just very bipolar. We took him to church to see the Thorn play and he started crying and the lady at the door said she could see extreme hurt in his eyes. I barely talk to him even though I know he has nobody and he told me he acts out for attention and he just wants to be loved and accepted. I think their is still hope for him how do I help him he's not your common thug he just has emotional issues?
hes seen probably like 20 doctors and been on multiple medications nothing works

Don't force him and DON?T preach to him, Actually don't try to get him into religion. Just try to make a good environment in your house, and don't try to control his life. He needs help, A psychologist would be helpful and if you talk to him about it maybe hell try it, DON'T TELL HIM TO DO, he doesn't want to be told what to do.

That's what I can tell you, don't know if I'm right.
