159

Ello, Malus!

159 Well...I don't know about your brother. Careful there.

About number one, I've heard once before that 'being bipolar' is not easy to prove if you're in your teens. Simply people are too hormonal, moody, fragile to be considered officially bipolar. Just keep that in mind...I honestly think that almost all teens are temporarily bipolar.

About the third, I actually saw a documentary once in Youtube about a woman who had seven personalities and how  they later discover her father might have been in a demonic cult and had been using her a kid in some practices causing her that damage. She doesn't remember any of that, but does keep a diary where some of her personalities seem to be reminding her of that. Apparently it's a true story. If you want the link, tell me.

159 oooh okay. yup. Makes sense.

What I'm saying is, this reading/test/analysis is not accurate until you're in your late 20s. I was pretty bipolar from a very early age (just ask my parents...it was NOT fun to be them) and even more through my teens (16 - 18 were my dark years). Lately however it has become much less.

157 The reason I'm saying be careful is this. I've seen people who could have passed their "dark" days safely get convinced early on that something was wrong with them...causing them to actually go wrong. Does that make any sense?

If he does get tested and turns out there was actually nothing wrong with him, he'll be...hurt...that you, his family, thought he was abnormal.

And if he does get tested, and turns out he did have something wrong psychologically, it could actually trigger it to be worse.

I'm not saying don't test him. I'm saying you should talk to one of your parents, or both, on their own and make sure that no matter what happens, they shouldn't say in front of him he should get tested.

157 ... Well, yeah that's wrong...But if you do tell him...directly that he will/should get tested, that WILL make him violent. He sees he did nothing wrong as you said, then why in the world is his family trying to say he might be mentally unstable? Get him tested, but DO NOT tell him directly he is. He will of course find out, but at least that's when he's actually in the hands of a professional who knows how to handle them...Be careful. Be very very very very very very *I can go on forever* careful...Please? Promise me?

157 Well...it might be good to research it a bit online...If he ever asks it would be for Psyhc class. Research online anything you can about the best way to deal with that and who you need to talk if your family does decide to do something.

157 That ALWAYS is the tricky part. I'm sure there'll be a way, though.

I would like to mention, feel free to tell me to shut the crap up, that if you don't tell him, he will more than likely be very offended that you would "trick" him (for lack of a better word), and all trust between him and anyone will probably be shattered.

153

Ah, I see. I can relate. Does he have any friends?

151

Hmm. I take it he didn't really like people?

151

Well, I would like to mention that the environment (I'm not insulting your life, I have no idea what goes on in your family) in which he is being raised could mean a lot about wether or not he thinks it's perfectly fine.

Spi, I will say my family is not that great but it's not the family nor the school. I believe it was more genetics and that my biological father abused him at a young age.
