We don’t play at all like we used to be with me before we used to call every single day text every single day, and talk every single day and play every single day , but now it’s like last year. Actually, it seems like he is no longer a good example and looking person to be with. What do I do?
It sounds like your cousin is struggling with the transition into high school and is finding it difficult to continue to lead a spiritual life while also trying to fit in with his peers. It is understandable that you would feel frustrated with the situation, but it is important to remember that this is your cousin and friend and that your relationship is still very important. Start by talking to your cousin and expressing your concern for him. Let him know that you are there to help and support him no matter what. You can also talk about the things he is doing that you are not comfortable with and explain why it is important to you that he stay on the right path. In addition, you and your cousin can talk to your parents and elders at your church to get advice on how to handle the situation. They may be able to give you both guidance on how to navigate your relationship during this time. It can also be helpful to find positive ways to fill your time together. Doing activities that you both enjoy can help to draw you closer together and may even provide opportunities for you to share your beliefs and encourage your cousin to stay on the right track.
