little brother issuses help!!!!!?

my little brother is 15 and is doing awful in school. in a few weeks he starts his first year of high school. I’m very worried about him and his studies. i think that if he read a little more he would be better off or if he just paid attention and studied a little more. i know one way to help is to be a god example and to help him when i can but next year i’m going to be five hours away in my first year of college. what is a big sister to do. please give me some advice. so that i can help him and my parents(whom i love but are worthless when it comes to some of his harder subjects like math)

It’s great that you care so much for your brother. You may want to talk honestly with him about your experiences in high school. Tell him some things that helped you. To increase his reading maybe start a little book club with him. Choose books that you think he will enjoy. You also read them so you can have discussions with him about the material. You can do this via email or phone too when you are at college. As for help with homework. Talk to your parents about your concerns. Many schools now offer workshops or tutorials in subjects like math and science for parents. They are geared at giving parents the tools to help their children with homework. Have them look into that. Also do you have anyone at the high school that helped you like a counselor or teacher? If so contact them and tell them about your brother. Ask them to check on periodically. It doesn’t hurt to have an adult looking out for him. Finally, stay in touch with him. Let him know that you are only a phone call or email away if he needs someone to talk to.

Good for you being concerned about your little brother’s education! I’m sure he appreciates it!

Does your school offer tutoring? Do teachers make themselves available for extra help? Can you study in the library after classes? These are things an experienced student, like yourself, can help a new student discover. You’re used to the high school and know the ropes there… you won’t be there to help him all the time, help him find help!

Good luck in college! And remember, if he needs your help then you’re just a phone call or email away!

Its hard, but you need to get him into a tutoring program that will help him LEARN how to study and manage his work. Sylvan is a good one…. and they teach you, but they teach you FIRST HOW to learn… how to study… some people just dont know and then it overwhelms em so they give up before they start…. sounds like ur little brother…. then make sure you email/call/text with him almost daily… so he knows youre there, encouraging and wanting to help!! Good Luck!!

You could have weekly or bi-weekly phones calls with your brother to see how things are going. Do you have a teacher or a councilor at your old high school you trust to talk with about keeping an eye on your brother? How about one of your friends who still goes to school there maybe they could be a mentor to him?

Also, talk to your parents about maybe getting him a tutor.

i assume you will possibly desire to choose for what relationship you desire to proceed with this woman. It the canines became a modern-day then it belongs to the daughter. flow get the canines in case you’re waiting to offer it a stable homestead, with foodstuff, scientific care and supervision. do no longer supply the mother from now on money. To sue could value your cash and could finally end up in a huge kinfolk combat in case you’re taking the canines is she going to sue you??? i do no longer think of so she could no longer even pay her rubbish bill. flow get your canines.

Give him moral support and encouragement, but the rest is up to him. You just can’t mentor him through high school.

How about purchasing some education software to help him with the subjects he is having problems with…
