Answer 1

well for RIGHT NOW theres nothing u can do, but once u make some friends in a few weeks, then make sure that u include him in fun things with you and ur friends so that he has a chance to get to know ppl and vice versa.  id say that if ur friends are rude or mean to ur brother then they arent true friends and u should stand up to them and tell them its not ok for them to talk trash or be mean.  if they have a problem with it, then u two can move on and find new friends to socialize with.  of course, u should view your brother as your best friend cuz through it all blood is thicker than anything.

Answer 2

Just stay close to him for the first couple days at skool, he will get over it, trust me. Its just the TV playing in his head. They make it look like skool is horrible, its full of bullies and new kids get beat up. Well its a lie. There are no bullies, if you hang with the right kids. The only thing to do is to let your bro no that you are there for him, by staying close and protecting him. He will make friends and forget about the whole thing. Trust me, I was there once. I am 15 by the way. XD
