I was a shocker when I was younger (Year 8 though). I have a younger brother who is 13 and is rebelling. He is a beautiful person but has mixed with the wrong people. My Mum has banned him from the internet or socialising out of school hours to try and stop this behaviour as he is really just being a sheep. The ONLY thing that has worked is people he really respects.... I am too close in age so I don't work BUT our most favourite Aunties and Uncles as well as Grandparents work! My Mum uses the line of "...and what do you think Aunty K and Nanna & Pop think if they knew ........... that?". Brings on instant tears and he pulls his head in. It might be worth a try and I always knew when I was younger and was playing up that when Mum threatened that she meant business and I was always heartbroken that my family would know what I was doing. Is that an option for you?
