About being a snitch: I would just feel really bad if she got into a driving accident or fucked her liver up. She's only just turned 16.

First off, what are her friends like? How does she act, how has she acted growing up? If you think she's irresponsible enough to seriously get herself hurt, you should sit her down and talk it out with her. Some brothers and sisters have close relationships, some don't so how exactly you should handle the conversation depends on your relationship with her.

If you two are normally cool and she usually at least listens to what you have to say, then you should just tell her that you're worried about her getting herself hurt and you don't want her to end up doing something stupid when she's drunk. Also tell her to call you no matter what time of day or night it is if she's at a party drunk, or is about to get a ride home drunk. Let her know that no matter where she is or what time it is, you'll be willing to drive out and get her home yourself, rather than her risking her life driving drunk or riding with a drunk driver. She probably won't remember to call you in her drunk state, but she will realize that you care for her and only want her to be safe.

Let her know that you aren't her parents and won't snitch on her unless she forces you too- if you catch her with car keys when she's drunk or she doesn't call you up when she needs a ride. Trust is a major issue with teenagers and if she thinks you just going to run to your parents then she will simply clam up and won't tell you anything at all.

At that age teenagers want to feel like adults more than anything, make sure to let her know that you aren't going to run to mommy and daddy; she can make her own choices but you are still her older brother and don't wish to see anything bad happen to her; that if she wants to drink then she needs to trust you when it comes to realizing how dangerous drinking is at a young age, and how dangerous it is when you don't know your limits or involve cars.

[Facetious]

Don't tell your parents unless she's actually doing something bad. As long as her friends are all about her age and all you've seen her doing is drink with people and then crash, I don't really think it's any of your business. You're risking causing damage to your relationship with your sister for basically nothing.

[Blueblaze]

Whenever she drinks, specially in such heavy amounts, it will physically harm her, and do much damage as she is still growing until about 18 years old. As well, if you have any sensibility, handle it like you would handle your own kids if the situation was reversed. As, if you don't tell your parents what happened, then your kids will never tell you whenever something big happens, and you might end up with a dead kid wondering how did this happen. Let's be honest, and let's be wise.

if u tell ur parents shell drink even more. shell b pretty upset and will become a slut. ok thats an exaggeration. but dont tell ur parents. Talk to her and let her kno that drinkin is aiight, but dont b stupid about it.

Alright, I know this isn't the best place to get guidance, but i'm sort of stuck right now.

Last night, my younger sister had 2 of her friends over and they stayed up really late like they always do. I was heading for bed about 2am when she came into the kitchen to get something and while she was going back to her room (they had locked the door to it, I found out) something didn't look right. So I followed her back and saw she had trouble staying on her feet, almost tripping a couple of times. I went to my room for a minute and then knocked on the door, and asked her if she was drunk. Turns out they had been for a while that night and she asked me to swear not to tell anyone.

If she was a little older I wouldn't be as concerned, but she just turned 16 in December of last year and i'm worried she's going to hurt herself, and I don't know how long she's been doing this or what else she may have gotten into.

Should I tell my parents?

I don't agree with people drinking at 16 but it's probably nothing at all, If she was 12-14 then it might be an issue but she's probably just experimenting with alcohol, if she's dumb as a brick she'll try harder stuff but you should talk to her and know where she stands on using different substances.

If parents raise their children up right, then she'll almost always change her ways after a good loving talk and discipline, but that rarely happens in the secular world now days.

[D1st0rt]

Basically ignore Blueblaze or you will lose the opportunity to help her down the road when she closes off to you. Make sure you stress that you aren't saying she isn't allowed to have any, just that you want her to be safe so nothing bad happens. She will be drinking in less sheltered situations at some point and it is best that she be prepared and familiar with it by then.

You obviously don't understand teenagers you haven't brainwashed.

Hahaha.

[Blueblaze]

I may be one of the few who do understand. As well, if you love someone, you will do anything in your power to help them, even if it means being hurt by them or by a situation. True love is sacrificing yourself, for the true benefit (not pleasurable satisfaction) of the other person.

[AFPilot]

Only you know your sister and parents well enough to decide what to do.

[Pressure Drop]

its normal to experiment at that age. i drank younger but are age limit is 18 here.

if i was you and i was worried, i'd meet them and buy them some beer for the amount of people they have that will get them just tipsy. if your open an honest like that then there is less chance off them stealing some spirits and going way to far cuase they don't know their limits and choking on their own vomit.

don't worry about their livers ffs that takes years of abuse, if you seen one girl tipsy one time thats a big over-reaction

[schope]

[Suh]

Yes you should tell your parents, as it is their absolute right to know. If my child was drunk, and their brother saw it, I would want them to tell me. You can fix a problem you don't know about, thus you must tell the parents, otherwise the ruining of her life as a alcoholic begins, or rather continues off getting worse and worse.

ignore him.

its not like she was in an awful situation, it was just her and her friends messing about. would you prefer she was doing it somewhere else than in the reasonable safety of your home? as telling your parents is only going to force her to do this in other places and wreck your relationship with her in the process.

ofcourse if it takes a turn for the worst then yeah tell the parents. but why dont you try talking to her about it, make sure she isnt going at it too hardcore. i dont know your parents but what would telling them result in?

and as for 16 being too young...well everyone i know started drinking 13-16, it seems to be the most common age for people to start. so i dont even know why its an issue
