Worried My Younger Brother Is Dating for the Wrong Reasons

Lately, I’ve been feeling uneasy about my 16-year-old brother’s new relationship. As his older sister, I can’t help but notice that he seems more interested in fitting in with his friends than genuinely connecting with his girlfriend. It brings back memories of my own teenage years, when I sometimes felt pressured to be in a relationship just to feel accepted. I worry he might be seeking validation rather than real companionship, and I want to support him without overstepping. Has anyone else felt this way about a sibling or child? How did you handle it? I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice in the comments below! #FamilyMatters #TeenRelationships #SiblingSupport #ParentingTeens #RomanticRelationships
