I found a pipe in my brothers room. The kid's only 13. Should I confront him about it? Or stay out of his business? Going to my parents is not an option, I'm not a rat.

confront him about it.


-- Posted by thissitesucks at 4:32 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

No don't tell your parents, just let him kill himself slowly.

Whats a pipe?


-- Posted by Skip at 4:32 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

talk to him oh my god


-- Posted by Tigerhawk at 4:32 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

Confront him about it, UNLESS you're a pipe user yourself.


-- Posted by Routanne at 4:32 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

Ask him about it.


-- Posted by Glow Worm at 4:32 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

I suggest bringing it up casually.


-- Posted by cryinginside at 4:33 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

leave him alone!!!


-- Posted by Lauraaaa at 4:33 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

def. talk to him about it, being that he's only thirteen.


-- Posted by Imbetter at 4:33 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

talk to him about it try to be a cool big bro!!!


-- Posted by TBongo at 4:34 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

i think you should buy him a big comfy jesus robe and an armchair  jesus and give the kid a good ol thumbs up. :D jesus.


-- Posted by drumby44 at 4:34 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

Yeah, you should see if he even knows what it is....


-- Posted by Akis at 4:35 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

Confront, if he doesn't cooperate- talk to someone. Every teacher will do, they jump on "issues" like hungry dogs on bacon, trust me.  That shall teach him his lesson.

You might want to talk to him about that.

Although I wouldn't suggest being all up in your face about it, as that can just lead to angsty rebellion I HATE YOU!!! Especially from a 13 year old kid.

Just talk to him about it calmly, something along the lines of "I found your pipe...."
"What do you think of drugs?"
"Are you aware of the consequences?"

Just try to make sure that although he may be doing drugs (which you cannot stop) make him aware of the potential hazards, so that he can play it safe.  

Another very good question, but probably at this time unanswerable question would be "why are you doing drugs?"
Most likely at his age it could be to fit in, and although you cannot stop him now, hopefully he'll come to this realization later on in life, and then make a decision about it.

If he pushes you away and doesn't want to talk about it, I'd say bring it to someones attention that BOTH of you are able to trust to keep it on the down low.
I think it would be unfair to just thrust your brothers drug use into the public and get him embarrassed and  ridiculed unnecessarily, as that won't actually help him in any way.

Good luck mate, I hope your bro is open-minded, and willing to talk about this.

Confront him, don't be a snitch, obviously.


-- Posted by romeobebe91 at 4:42 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

confront him but dont be to harsh, causes more problems


-- Posted by Meep123 at 4:43 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

It's a weird fucking thing it doesn't even look like a pipe, maybe made out of something else, the end of it is like closed with holes in it. I've never seen anything like it before. But I don't see what else it could be used for.

Yea I've seen quite a few pieces myself. So does it seem like just an odd-looking one he bought or do you think it was actually homemade?

Nah it looks like it's somewhat pre-made. Although the end of it screws off. But usually pipes have a bowl at the end and you kinda have to light it upside down. But this thing has on one end a mouth piece, and on the other an appendage with holes on the top and bottom and it seems to clamp open and shut. I guess you would light it through the metal or something? I don't really know.

Ummmmm, does it look like this?

Yeah, wtf is that.

Don't laugh at me if it isn't drug related.


-- Posted by ajm51987 at 5:04 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

hahahaha. You can relax, it's not a pipe, it's a filter straw for drinking Mate, a South American caffeine drink.

Hah, that confrontation with your brother would have been pretty amusing though.


-- Posted by MourningAir at 5:05 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

hahahaha lmao

Thanks, yo. Although I know there's none of that shit in my house. God knows what he was using it to drink with. He's a weird kid.

Keep laughing! >.<

I dunno it kinda looked different than that it's bent and it has designs on it. I don't fucking know. Thanks for your help though.


-- Posted by ajm51987 at 5:07 pm on Mar. 30, 2007

Well, it's possible some older kid might have sold it to him as a pipe and swindled him, but they're not very easy to come by in the states, so I dunno... haha. This is really amusing. I would be interested to know why he has it if hes not drinking mate.

Also, they come in lots of diffrent styles and shapes, google bombilla and see what you find.

I just think it's funny 'cause the way you described it I was like "damn I must be out of the loop 'cause I don't think I've seen one that looks like that."
