HELP I I'M RAISING A TEENAGER!!

It has just become evident to me that my little cousin is a teenager and I am too. The scary part about this is that I am helping to raise him. Yes, his mom is involved and so is all of my family, but it is crazy to think that, while he is starting to apply for high schools next year, I am the one helping to give him advice and punishing him for not filling out his applications that he needs to. And let's not forget to mention he lives in Philadelphia and I am in college at West Palm Beach. Anyone else find this as crazy as I do?

Growing up, my aunt raised me and so did my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, other aunts, uncles, and cousins, but never did I think that I would be doing just the same. My family is very close and tight knit on my mom's side, so when my aunt became a single parent we all worked together to help her raise our new baby. The amazing part is, not only did this help me with skills for when I become a mom later on, but it also taught me how to control what I say to a kid when they start fighting back with me for the best outcome.

Having said all of this though, do you know anyway to raise a kid from the other end of the US? If so please help me.
