I need advice on how to help my big brother on his first year of college feel better. See he only came for a week starting Friday, and since then ever since he got off the phone he would sigh heavily, look like he just wants to be left alone, and I would even hear him talk to his gf and say stuff that is REALLY worrying me. Like she doesen't trust him stuff like that. So I need help on how I can help him on this situation please?

It is quite worrying >_>.

I don't know, I am the older brother, so I'm kinda in the "I wanna girlfriend" mood right now, but I don't know about your older brother.

Well firstly talk to him and try to get an idea of what is really going on.

How old is you brother metro? Many people experience types of depression. Try to keep him in a happy mood, that's as much as I can say. My friend sufferd from severe depression last year. His girlfriend started becoming really wierd and she dumped him. Seeing how "waiting for the whole thing to vlow over" was not an option I gabbed him by the shoulders and started screaming at him: Get a hold of yourself! You're better than her! She's turned ionto a freak! Accept it! and so on... After a slow recovery he's now back on his feet. some advice though: if someone doesn't want you to butt into the relationshp, don't. That's as much help as I can give

You might want to put a little bit more thought into whether or not this is something you can even help with. You are after all his little brother, and relationship problems tend to be quite complicated. If it's a trust issue, that's something that can only be properly sorted out between your brother and his girlfriend.

Without understanding exactly why there is a problem, it would be impossible for you to be able to help, because you do not know what kind of help to give. The best thing to do in this situation is tell him that you're concerned, and that you'd like to help if you can... just make him feel like you're there for him, and that you'll stand by him if need be. That's really all you can do, unless you do more evesdropping, which I don't think your bro will really appreciate.

Well it's all back to normal now. (Wow that was fast) Guess it was just a stage or something I don't know. I'm just happy he's normal again
