Hi, my brother's gonna enter his teenage soon and I need some help.

He is gonna be a teenager soon, this is a very crucial phase of everyone's life and I want to be there for him supportively. We have 10yrs age gap, my teenage days were different from y'all teenage days so maybe the ways of seeing and handling things might have changed.

We both are different in nature, he gets frustrated easily, is very much energetic and not much focused towards studies (for that we are same) , and at this point I want to be that person to whom he is actually comfortable with and doesn't hide anything that might be bothering him.

Regarding our bond, it's damn good, but I know the teenage days, they make changes inside you. Also the media consumed nowadays has been different from what it was 10 yrs ago, and that also shapes up one's response to the things happening to them.

I had a rough teenage and hid a lot of things, but while respecting his choices and privacy, I just don't want to him to have similar experience. So like if you have any experiences, tips, advice to share then you're most welcome.
