Hi @Dirtbike_gang
Thank you for posting on the forums. I don't think there is anything wrong with having friends who may be a little older than you. As long as everyone stays mature and has healthy boundaries and respects each other then I don't think there is an issue.
How do you feel about talking to your parents before your brother does that way you can explain things from your perspective?
Also what has been making things difficult for you to make friends around your own age, not that it's a requirement or anything - I'm just curious if you are happy to share your experience.
In terms of asking for a number from your friend, if you are not comfortable with that yet then maybe you can add them on Instagram, Facebook, or some other social media platform as a way to ease into it.
