Bean, I'm so proud of you!
Telling the whole ugly truth is very hard. I'm certain that although your brothers have messed up, they will see the changes in you and you will guide them to Jesus.
God allows us to go through things to make us strong in Him.
You know the coaches phrase "pain is weakness leaving the body"? Well, although I think it's a stupid phrase that's WAY over used, there is a hint of truth in it. It applies here...you would not have come to truely know Jesus without experiencing the pain first...
Now is your growing time...your learning time. Don't punish yourself if you mess up from time to time...I've been a Christian since I was 7, and a true Christian since I was 12, and I still make Jesus cry from time to time. Just remember that His death covers new sins, all you need to do is bring them to Him, and repent of them.
