My brother
I'm a 20-year-old girl, who is looking for an advise.
My 14-year-old brother doesn't want to study, ok he doesn't say that but he's failing in school and he has lost one year, he's in 7th grade.
He's in an expesive school and we don't want him to loose his spot there because is a really good one.
I want him to be conscious about his opportunities, which all my parents have given him, but he doesn't pay attention.
All my family is worried about this, and me too.
He's not a bad person and I love him so much. So please, Help me!

He's in an expensive school and we don't want him to loose his spot there because it is a really good one.

[Good work. What is his attitude. If it seems all right, he may have trouble with attention deficit disorder (look it up on the internet). I had to train myself to pay attention in high school and colleged.]

Thanks Brian, i'm trying to handle this situation and i've tried to convince him he's good singing and playing an instrument and he had took guitar & piano lessons but he isn't commited to go ahead and during the first classes is giving up. And he's really good at it. Again thanks for helping me :)

That sort of advice is difficult. Teenagers are also difficult to reason with, so it's often a situation where, no matter what you tell him, if he's stubborn enough he simply won't listen.
What does he want to do in life? Is there anything that interests him? Anything in particular? If so, can you try to apply that back to his studies? Tell him it's important to stick with studies so he can become or get to participate in whatever he wants to be or do?
Your English is very good, by the way.
