This is about my brother

For background information my brother is 14yrs and over the course of 2 years has turned into someone my parents and I do not recognise anymore.

It started in 2022 when we first started smelling weed being smoked inside of the house (my parents are dead against the use of weed) and obviously my parents got very mad because of this. Yet the constant smell of weed continues on and to this day is still happening. He hasn't been to school in 11 months and just sits in his room and occasionally leaves his room to get a massive hoard of food and to pick up his weed. He is constantly asking my parents for money like £30 every single day (for weed) when he should be at school choosing his GCSE subjects.

He can get incredibly violent, he has attacked my parents and myself. He attacked my mom because she refused to give him money, attacked my dad because he went missing so my dad went to find him and attacks me because he is always robbing my belongings and breaking them.

My parents could end up in prison because of my brother not going to school despite them having to leave for work at 4am and i have to leave for college at 6am, so no one is at home to see my brother leave the house to go to school.

All these things going on have caused my parents to consider divorcing, my dad has stress related lung problems and potential cancer, my mom has a history of heart problems and since all this has happened shes now back on her tablets and I have just a-lot of stress on-top of me to not turn out the way my brother has done.

We are just looking for solutions on what to do about this because after 2 years of trying to talk to him and to get him to change it has only gotten worse.
