Rules to have for a 16 year old.?

Question

My 16 year old younger brother is going to be living with me, what rules do I need to have for him?

Answer 1

Set a curfew for him(10pm during the week, midnight on weekends, or whatever you feel is appropriate).

Give him chores

Always know where he is going, who he will be with, what he will be doing, when he will be home and how he will get to his destination and back home(a friend is driving, hes taking a bus/cab) unless he has his own car.

Give him a little space and trust him until he breaks that trust(if he does)

Good luck! Teenagers can be a handful!

Answer 2

Let him be young and freeeeeeeeee <3

Answer 3

NO:

s*x

drugs

alcohol

cigarettes

or borrowing the car without permission

just give him some space at time cause he'll need it, i would also encourage him to get a certain GPA in school, cause if he just trys and turns in work a 2.75 or 3.0 is fairly easy to get. and if you wants some extra money in the house, then ask him if he wants to get a job, it doesn't have to be a big one, maybe 10 or so hours a week, just something to make up for his living expenses and to give him a chance to manage money.

Answer 4

It depends on your living preferences.

If you want him to have a good education (or if you don't give a ****), then make sure he's done his homework each day and tell him you're going to check at the end of the day to make sure he did it.

Maybe you can set his curfew to 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM on a school day. 2:00 on a weekend (unless he's spending the night at a friend's house). *be sure to give him a key, of course!*

Give him chores, like for example dish duty for him is on Thursdays, Mondays and Wednesdays. He can sweep the floors, vacuum the carpet (if you have any carpeted area), walk the dog, etc.

Hmm, I think that's covered the important. The rest of the usually applied rules really depend on how you prefer to live your life. (etc, no swearing if you hate swearing, leaving at least 1/4 of the bag of chips left for me)

If I think of anymore I'll add some.

Answer 5

Chores to help around the house, You should know where he is at all times, call to check up on him, set a time to be home, ask to have people over.

Answer 6

1. No drugs or drinking or smoking

2. Home by 10:30 on school nights, 12 on weekends

3. Ask permission before going some where.

4. Tell you where he is going to be

5. Ask to invite friends over.

6. Call to check in.

7. No lieing

8. Any chores such as cleaning his room.

Answer 7

no hoes.

no booze.

no drugs.

unless he shares =]

Answer 8

be home by 10

tell him where he is when he goes

clean up his mess

Answer 9

If you still remember being a 16 year old, then you will know how to treat him, and it depends on him, what he likes to do, what he enjoys, you can talk to him and ask him, rules are unnecessary, unless he is a heart headed teenager, you can create a good bond between you and your brother, so just be friendly, brotherly. I'm a 17 year old girl and I'm very close to my 30 year old brother, and im very happy that he is my bro. so peace out!

Answer 10

You need to be careful about his friends coming round.

You'll be responsible for him of course in a lot of ways but it wouldn't be very fair if you got grief from his friends parents for anything that might go on under your roof (smoking,drinking etc). whether it happens with or without your knowledge.

Of course if he has girls round the minefield grows!

  I would have a sit down with him and discuss ground rules.

Don't just give him rules but share what you feel is resonable behaviour.

When you get a chance see if you can have a chat with his friends parents to gauge what is generally accepted.(Sleepovers booze etc.)

Also make sure he knows that if he makes a big mistake or gets into trouble that he needs t be honest and tell you so you can both sort it out together.

I'm sure he's a good lad but we all did the odd silly thing at that age,it's just part of growing up,I'm sure he remembers a few of yours!

I'm sure you will both have fun,you sound like a good brother.

Good luck!

Answer 11

No Drugs. His friends have to be good kids with morals. He needs a curfew probably around 9 pm. He can't have phone calls past his curfew. He has to get at least B's in his classes (special exceptions allowed) He has to be honest with you. He always has to have a new condom on his person and inspect the packaging often. He will have to hang out with you so many hours a week, with or without friends wherever you decide or wherever you two agree. I think that's fairly well rounded.  

Answer 12

let him have his space when he wants it. other than that, just do what you normally do. dating tips also help. lol

Answer 13

hookers and blow ONLY on weekends

Answer 14

1. Set a curfew. If he's more than 5 minutes late, he is grounded to home for 2 weeks. 11:00 in the summer is reasonable.

2. No drugs or alcohol of any kind, and if you suspect him you have the right to have him tested without warning.

3. You have sole authority over what he does (he must ask you permission to do things that would require discretion)

4. School comes before free time. If his grades slip he gets a warning, if they continue to drop he is grounded until they improve.
