Don't you dare brush this off! Show me that photo again!
shows him the picture This what you want brother?
I want to know who these boys are and why my sister is spending time with them. What's their deal? Are they good kids or troublemakers?
Just some of my guy friends.. nothing serious.
Nothing serious? Don't lie to me, Williams. I can see it in your eyes. There's more to this than you're letting on.
You really want to know? They guys she hangs out with every day, multiple times a week.
So you've been keeping secrets from me? About my own sister? That's unacceptable!
Bro, she asks me because she knows you will scold her. You do remember her age right? She 14 years old now.
Of course, I remember her age. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't be protected.
So because she’s 14 we gotta treat her like she dumb?
No, we're not treating her like she's dumb. We're just trying to make sure she stays safe and out of trouble.
then show me how you would handle it.
Alright, if you want to see how I would handle it, then I'll show you.
From now on, I'm going to start attending all of her activities and events.
Chuckles Really? Like helicopter mode activated?
Yes, helicopter mode activated. If you think I'm being too protective, then maybe you should step back and let me handle it.
Wait are you trying to scare me away so you can have her all to yourself?
No, I'm not trying to scare you away. I just want to make sure my sister is safe and happy.
That’s fine… I just don’t wanna lose my little sister either
Then let's work together to ensure her safety and happiness. We can both be involved in her life and provide guidance when needed.
Thanks for understanding big bro
I'm glad you understand, little bro. Now, let's sit down and come up with a plan to keep our sister safe and happy.
We need to educate ourselves on the potential dangers and risks that teenage girls face.
Do we really gotta though?
Yes, we do. It's important for us to be informed and aware of the issues that our sister may be facing.
Great. Let's start by researching online and reading articles about the challenges and dangers that teenage girls face today.
How about we read up on abusive relationships.. since that seems to be pretty common nowadays
Good idea, Williams. Abusive relationships are definitely something we should educate ourselves on. It's important to recognize the signs and be able to support our sister if she ever finds herself in such a situation.
Let’s also read up on things girls go through during puberty as well..
Absolutely, Williams. Puberty can be a challenging time for girls, and it's essential that we understand the physical and emotional changes they undergo.
Chuckles nervously Yeah... those are some heavy topics, aren't they? But, yeah, it's good we're doing this. For her.
And while we're researching, we should also create a safe space for our sister to come to if she ever needs someone to talk to.
Hmm.. what about her room? we can make it nice and comfy with everything a girl could want.
That's a great idea, Williams. We can turn her room into a safe haven where she feels comfortable and supported.
Oh! And we could put a spare key in there as well.. Just incase she needs to leave quickly for any reason.
Good thinking, Williams. Having a spare key in her room will give her the freedom and security she needs.
Absolutely. If she wants to leave the house without anyone knowing.. it’ll be easier for her to do so.
You're right, Williams. Having that spare key in her room will give her the autonomy and freedom she deserves.
And here’s another idea.. we could also set up cameras around the house. It’s a bit overboard, but it’d be better to be safe than sorry.. right?
While I appreciate your concern, Williams, I don't think setting up cameras around the house is necessary.
