Question

Has anyone advice on how i can cheer up? thanks

Answer 1

when my brother moved to university, i had a similar situation.  i receded into my room and rarely talked to my parents.

the best thing i found was to spend time with the people that you could talk to besides your brother.  for example if there is a friend or cousin you are particularly close to, meet up more with them or confide in them.  also try and keep in touch with emails with your brother, I'm guessing he will have internet access every so often. .

good luck

Answer 2

listen to green day!!! pretty much any song from the album dookie but my fav's 'she'

Answer 3

Spend some time with other people you like. They may not be able to replace him, but its better to talk to somebody who cares than just being alone all the time. Find a good friend or a parent who will listen to you.

Answer 5

your question made me sad because it brought back memories. my big brother went off the the army when he was 17.  when he left, i realized that he was my only family...or the only one who i thought cared about me.  my father was dead by my mother's hand, my younger siblings (by different fathers) were so needy.  i had to take care of them and i did not want to so i passed the bulk of the responsibility to the next child...my sister.  my mother decided to leave for a week & did not leave any food for us, so that was hard. some of the kids begged from the neighbors, i went to a friends house for food, but the mother got sick of me mooching. with those kids, i had done the job for so long, i was tired. i felt there were others who could take up the slack.  my mother had gone haywire with ex-con friends and boyfriends who were worthless and child molesters and murderers. overall, i felt like a total island. completely alone.  i had to stay on my toes to make sure nothing happened to me. i survived with not much happening but because i was not allowed to do much beyond go to school, i had no outlet.  i was socially immature. i just focused on my school work and getting the best grades.  when i left home, i made some bad choices because i wanted to belong and wanted to have something. i did not think anything could happen to me because i was responsible.  i was wrong.

Answer 6

awwww yeah, I know how you feel because I have the same feeling when my brother leaves=(

But, i think that you should plan a girl's night out/in with your friends and just do some girly stuff and talk. That will really make you feel better.

Feel better soon!

Answer 7

Get a puppy.

No, no, no! I'm just kidding. Um... get a couple of guy friends. You can never go wrong with friends. Go to fun places with your girl and guy friends, and forget about the fact that you miss someone, just worry about the fun meter of wherever you're going.
