I am 17 years old and my brother is two years older. When he started dating "Kim," everything was fine, but as I got to know her better, it became clear that she is just using my brother. I asked my mom what I should do, and she said I should keep my mouth shut.

Well, my brother asked to borrow money, so I lent him some. Then I found out he was using the money to take Kim out. She knows he doesn't have the funds¹ to take her out every night, but she always insists they go somewhere.

Yesterday, my brother yelled² at me because I left a message with my opinion of her on Kim's answering machine. What should I do if he doesn't listen to reason? － ConfusedDear Confused³:

You mean well, but you have to stop interfering⁴. As hard as it is to watch your brother make a mistake, this isn't your business and he will resent⁵ and reject whatever you suggest. Don't lend him any more money, but otherwise, your mother is right. Say nothing. You won't win.
