Hello. I’m a teenager in high school and my brother is also in the same school as me, around 2 years older than me but let’s just say he’s developmentally behind a normal person. Even my parents tell me this. His energy levels are usually very high, and he would run around the school screaming, do some weird freaky stuff, yell out others names across the hallway, and he isn’t really good at picking up social cues. As a result, he’s very “popular” around the school but definitely not in a good way. He’s practically the laughingstock of the school and to have others know I am related to him just makes me shameful. My parents don’t even know if he’ll make it through college or not. When I just got to high school, it seemed like my classmates and others in my grade automatically knew about him and asked if he was related to me of some sort and asked me if I was his sister and they started giggling. I honestly can’t wait till he finally leaves high school so I don’t have to be made fun of through him.

Bless his heart.
Don’t mind your brother, be your own person. Love your brother for being unique. Your last bit of high school is all your friends will ever remember if anything. High school is short and it goes by fast. Be positive in your attitude and you’ll be fine.
