I'm really worried about my brother! He's changed so much in the last year. He dresses weirdly these days!"
What does he wear? He wears torn trousers and a big black coat-even indoors! It's ridiculous-I can't help staring at him! What do your parents think? "Oh, they're always arguing with him. But Dad is blaming him for everything, if he is late coming in, if he carries anything, if he brings his friends home. It's awful. Do you agree with him?" Well, I try to, but it's really embarrassing because all the neighbours are staring at him. I saw Mrs Harris pointing at him through her window. I've tried talking to him about it, but he just shouts at me for criticising him too. He thinks people are judging him by their appearance. It's really awful. "Don't worry. I'm sure he will grow out of it. He won't stand on like this when he is older" I really hope you're right!
