The problem was with my brother Mike . He was rude , did not seem to fit into the family even though we had showed him so much love from the three of us. He was the smallest of the family with my little sister already taller than him and my mother and I towering over him.
I think that was some of his trouble he should have been a girl instead he was a small framed angry and rude little brat who went out of his way to upset the rest of the family.
He wanted to leave school but mum was making him go back to school in the hope he would realize he needed to buckle down and get some good marks.
I knew it would not happen he was with a bad group of boys that kept on getting in all sorts of trouble.
The Christmas break had been great I was able to connect with my younger sister and mum was able to work all the overtime she could to give her extra income.
I had a chance to meet up with old school mates some of them had married and had children already.
One of my friends Anne told me she was out with her baby brother pushing him in a stroller when my brother had yelled at her when she passed him , He had shouted out "hey you can change my nappies anytime".
I told her we had that problem before it started before he was a teenager we would be driving along in the car and he would say out loud , oh she be good changing my nappy or look at that mum she has got fresh milk.
Mum and I had thought that problem was long in the past but it did not look like it. Anne also said one of her friends girls was in the same year as him and Mike and three of his friends had bullied her daughter and some other girls.
In what way I said , she said calling her an ugly bright spark all the time and making fun of her and her friends.
Two of my other girl friends said he was mixing with the wrong crowed but seemed to be the ring leader. I was shocked an apologized but they said you cant do that for someone else they have to be the ones that are sorry.
We all moved too a bigger table as in all eight of us had met together. Although there was lots to catch up with, my brother seemed to be the one we were talking about. I had grown up with these girls they all knew my mum and we all was close knit friends.
Tanya said do you need us to help as if you don't do something now his going to get in trouble with the law. I said, well that's already happened and we have had two visits from the police they have spoken with him but it does not sink into his brain.
Well Tanya said I have an idea lets talk about it and see what we all can come up with.
So we did , I told them I would run it past my mother as I did not want to cause her any more upset as she was really down at the moment.
That's what I did that night and mum said we have nothing to lose but we need time to prepare. That's sorted I've been online and by the sound of it some of my friends have so it all could happen in two weeks.
Mum looked at me and started to cry and she said I've failed him , well I said, this might save him . Don't worry anymore I will make it look like it was my idea so he does not take it out on you, she said that's not the worry its him that's the worry its his last chance.
