Now he's thirteen and I'm fourteen; you could consider us real siblings due to the fact that it's been a complete decade. The problem is that he's becoming attached to me. My guess is that it's normal for young siblings (3 or 4 years of age) to hold hands but I feel uncomfortable sometimes. It makes me feel trapped when he kisses me and my parents don't even care. They think it's just part of growing up. In the past, we would just kiss goodbye on the cheek for minimal of one second. Now he kisses me on the lips and it takes forever. I'm becoming very nervous about this, and I hope you can help me.

 He has to learn what's appropriate, and right away. Tell him where you think the line should be. If that doesn't work, then tell your parents. Even if it is "just growing up", you need to feel comfortable in your own home; if he's making you uncomfortable, then by definition it's not appropriate.
