It's not a good idea to degrade yourself because you have fallen victim to undesirable habits. These habits affect everyone in their lives.

But in real life, the winner is the one who can admit their error and break bad habits. You become aware of how easy it is to succumb to a long list of unhealthy behaviors when you examine your lifestyle.

Making yourself free from bad habits and breaking them is the difficult part. At first glance, habits like biting your nails or fidgeting with your hair while you're awake may seem harmless, but over time, they can be challenging to quit.

Along with these, unhealthy behaviors like smoking and drinking are terrible for your health. Apparently, the OP's brother didn't care, as his main priority was to stop at the smoke shop rather than make it on time to meet their parents at a party.

It would have been alright had he not made the OP take the fall for them being late. Well, the OP felt betrayed and had to tell their parents the real reason was that her brother had to stop at the smoke shop before they got there.

She didn't stop there but went ahead to tell them where they could find all the evidence. Read the entire story for yourself as you scroll down. 

The OP says she outed her brother's bad habits so let's find out why

Their parents didn't know that the OP's brother smokes and they never specifically told them no smoking but she's sure they wouldn’t be happy

OP's parents then started to scold her but before they could get too far, she stopped them and exposed her brother

The first thing he thought was to lie to get the OP in trouble instead of making other excuses

Redditors trooped into the comments section to air their opinions and we've gathered some of them for you to read through

This Redditor doesn't understand how an adult can be grounded

Another Redditor who can't believe an adult is being grounded

The OP's brother clearly chose not to use his brain

The OP only got him back like any other sibling would

If you live in a glass house, then you ought not to throw stones

This Redditor believes the OP's parents are AHs for controlling them this way

This Redditor wants the OP to find a way and get out as soon as she can

Some redditors were of the opinion that when someone lives and eats at home for free, then they're not free of their parents' household rules. They can still dish out chores and set curfews.

So turning 18 only gives you legal powers and protections, but it does not extend to the family's social structure. In the end, the OP was declared not the AH.
