What do I do about my brother and his puberty?
He’s 13 and I’m 16 and I guess he’s really into puberty now cause he’s been doing some awkward things lately.
I walked by his room recently and his door was open and he had no clothes on and he was going to town humping one of his stuffed animals. It was weird and I yelled at him that he was gross and told him to stop but he didn’t and he just said “but it makes my p-nis feel good.”
I told my mom and she said we shouldn’t shame him and it’s good he’s in his room we should just remind him to close the door next time. She said he’s just trying to figure out the new sensations in his body and we should give him space to explore himself and just remind him it’s only in private. I guess she’s right but it’s still awkward.
One of my friends came over recently and he was staring at her so she said “what?” And he said “you’re really pretty” and she said thanks.
Then he says “you made my p-nis get hard.” It was so embarrassing. My friend said “you can’t say stuff like that” and he said “oh sorry.” I apologized for him and she said it’s okay she thinks he just meant it as a compliment he’s just a little awkward but I was mortified. I feel like I can’t have friends over.
What can I do about this? He embarrasses me so much and I don’t want to hear about or see his private parts. I’m not trying to be mean to ND people it’s just not easy for me either.
