Hi! At this point, I'm just checking back when asked a question. When my life gets less hectic, I'll start browsing to find questions to answer. But please ask; I will answer within 24 hours.advice
i know its embaressing but dont answer if you're gonna be mean. but whats a clitoris? like i know its down there on a girl but..like where and what does it look like? plz help--clueless
color drawing: http://www.the-clitoris.com/1r4/anatomy/vulva_1.jpg
Most people are referring to the glans of the clitoris when they use the term. Slang terms that I can think of offhand include clit (most common), man in the boat, nub, and head.
While we usually say that "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina", it would be more accurate to say that boys have a penis, girls have clitoris. The tissue that becomes a boys penis becomes the clitoris in a girl. The two big differences are that a clitoris is (usually a lot) smaller, and the urethra (pee tube) does not come out of the clitoris, but exits the body a little "farther down" (closer to the vagina and anus). Both of them fill with blood and grow when "turned on" (aroused). Both of them play major roles in orgasm.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. There's no such thing as too young to know anatomy. No one would tell a child he was too young to know how his ears worked if asked, although the level of detail would be different for a 6 year old than a 16 year old. I see no reason to treat our reproductive and sexual organs any differently. Ask. Learn. and ignore the idiots.
Hey i really need help I feel very very lonely and i always feel like crying and so empty inside i dont know what to do :( i have a boyfriend and i have a great family i just dont know why i feel this way i dont know what to do even right now i feel like crying its so hard im so lost i really dont know what to do please help
It sounds like your depressed.
Depression isn't the result of things going badly in your life; it's the chemicals in your brain doing wacky things. This can be made worse by environmental factors. In my experience, low self esteem frequently makes what would otherwise be a minor chemical imbalance a serious problem.
Being a teenager is very hard on one's self esteem. The necessities of life are still being handed out, and in return there is an expectation to live up to other people's expectations. Society somehow expects teens to figure out their personal goals and desires while trying to fit into other peoples molds. It's inherently a stressful situation. Frequently, teens are given few ways to really make a difference in the world - even though they frequently have the skills and the energy to do so.
Yes, your personal situation might be great compared to most others, but your still not in an easy spot. Being a teenager is not easy in todays society. It's not inherent in the age, it's part of our society. So don't beat yourself up for feeling like things are screwed up even though you seem to have a perfect life from the outside. Our society is screwed up and teenagers take a nice chunk of that.
OK, now that we've taking care of the ranting, I can get onto the useful advice. :)
If you've got the time, find something you can volunteer to do. If you go to a church, they tend to be great at this. Habitat for Humanity is one of my favorite "get out there and do good" recommendations. While technically a christian organization, I've never had such things come up. If nothing else, get a few friends together and pick up trash in a local park or along your street (depending on where you live). You will see that you can have a positive impact on the world around you, and very little feels better than that.
If you are overwhelmed by emotion, the arts are great outlets for that. Poetry, painting, and acting seem to be the most popular forms of venting, but any art form you can use to transfer the extra emotion out of yourself will work. If physical activity is more your thing, find something you can numb yourself with. Running and formal martial arts are popular. Other options include exercises that require counting. Not only does the counting give you something to focus on, but you can keep track of your progress and feel good as you build up strength.
If nothing seems to help, and/or you get to the point where you start to seriously think about hurting yourself (or others), you should talk to a professional. You can start with the school nurse or guidance counselor, or see if you can get an appointment with a psychologist through your doctor. It may be that your chemical imbalance is large enough to make medicines a valid option. Personally, I prefer to try other things before medicine, but I do that when I have a headache too.
I hope some of these ideas are helpful. Good luck, and please ask if you have trouble finding the resources you need.
Ok.. well first of all my younger brother has a mental disability called Autism. I try rally hard to be nice to him and understand him but sometimes he drives me crazy! But my older sister just doesnt understand him AT ALL and doesnt try to help him and is always mean to him. I try to talk to her but shes just mean to me too... What should i do?
As horrible as it sounds, keeping your older sister in line is not your responsibility. It's your parents. If they are not aware of your sisters actions, I would not consider it tattling to inform them. Do it in a more adult fashion. Find a time when they are not busy and tell them that you are concerned for your brother. In addition to relaying how she is mean to him, see if you can collectively come up with ways to make things less frustrating for the both of you.
how do i make head more pleasurable for my boyfriend? like amazing? what should i do. i know its so cliche but im obsessed with doing things right. thanks.
There isn't a "right" way to have sex. Including oral sex. You need to talk to each other and learn to read each other. He should give feedback, and you should experiment.
I really can't give you generalized advice, because each person is pretty unique. I mean, even general rules like "no teeth" aren't really universal. You have to experiment with each other, and learn what you like to do and what he likes to have done. Sometimes compromises are necessary.
I'm sorry, but the best advice I can give you is to experiment.
How long does it take for a symtom of an STD to show up? I just gave my boyfriend a blow job last night for the first time and now i have a sore in my mouth. Could it be an STD and should i be worried? Thanks so much.
Wow, I'm sorry about the quality of the answers below. A few of the columnists did have it right - and a few more had it partially right. :)
Symptoms for STDs don't show up the next day. The period between contracting a disease and it becoming active (you showing symptoms) is called the "incubation period". Each STD has a different incubation period. Most STDs have a sizable minority (between 10 and 45 percent) of carriers. Carriers have the disease but never show any symptoms at all.
If the sore is white or grey it is quite likely to be a cold/canker sore. Cold sores are a type of herpes that 90% of the US adult population has. I don't know of any studies, but I'm guessing (from talking to people) that most people get it from sharing drinks with their parents in early childhood.
A red sore is likely to be from physical trauma - like having a chip poke into you when you bite down on it.
If you are really worried, or if the sore doesn't match the above descriptions, ask your school nurse or doctor. You don't have to say why your worried - just go in and ask what it is and if there's anything s/he can give you to help it feel better. It's unlikely that there is anything, but it's a good opening line.
My boyfriend's a rather sexual person, and I'm..getting there, haha. I've given him an orgasm and we've been trying to give me one. I'm kind of reluctant cos it hurts! Should it hurt? We are not having sex, fingering, but no intercourse. When he touches my clitoris it seems like pain, but also kind of good, but like tickling in which you try to move away. It hurts when he presses too hard of course, but then doesn't give that weird kick when it's not hard. The other day he was touching my clit and my leg started spazzing, but the clit hurt, but it felt like we should keep going, yet we stopped cos it hurt me kind of. We don't think I came. Wondering, what aren't we doing? And what does an orgasm feel like for a girl (or anyone)?
No, it shouldn't hurt.
It's important to play around first. Women's bodies are a little different then men. Men have normal skin on their penis, and can take a lot more stimulation. It's possible to turn a guy on by grabbing and going. It doesn't work that way for women usually. Star by kissing, then touching other parts of the body. When you get turned on, you'll get wet and your clitoris will get bigger. It fills with blood just like a man's penis does. (It never gets really big, so it's hard to notice unless you know your body well.)
That's when he should *start* touching your genitals. He shouldn't stop kissing you (although he may want to move to kissing the insides of your thighs, or you belly) and you might find it helpful if you touch your own breasts to keep up the stimulation there.
Also, don't focus on orgasm exclusively. Do things that feel good and that you enjoy. Most women don't orgasm every time. There are degrees of orgasms. Technically, an orgasm is a release of endorphins and pulsing of genital muscles. Sometimes the pulsing doesn't happen, but the endorphins do, and you are suddenly much more relaxed as all the sexual tension has drained away. Sometimes, your whole body seems to throb - but that's pretty rare. Usually, you feel the tension build up till it's nearly unbearable, then the vaginal muscles start to clench and release uncontrollably and you feel kinda high. Many women report that the room feels like it's spinning, or other similar "high" sorts of experiences.
It takes a long time to get a woman to orgasm, especially if both partners are inexperienced. Take your time and enjoy the journey. It's not so important that you experience an orgasm as it is that you enjoy the time you spend being sexual together. It's an exploration, and a chance to get to know each other in a special way. Have fun. :)
I have a concern that eats at me. I cannot just put this to the side and not say anything any longer. The problem lies with my mother-in-law. I do care about her deeply and am very hurt by what has been going on.
Here's the background of myself, I have been married for 5 years now, we have a 4 year old and just had a new baby in Februrary. My husband is the oldest of 3 sons from his family. The middle brother just got married in February- this brother picked our due date to get married (which is another story). As the parents of the bride and groom, my in-laws were expected to pay for the rehearsal dinner...which they did...this was in excess of $700.00. Plus she bought a new dress for the wedding and bought the new bride and groom a wedding gift - this is all understandable. What is not understandable is my husband and I had a baby shower at the beginning of February, 3 weeks before due date/wedding. The mother-in-law did buy the cake (which was very sweet) for the shower however, never bought the baby a gift. She keeps saying she will buy something but doesn't. My birthday was also in February, she never bought me a gift, not even a card. We have the baby and she still has yet to buy the baby anything. My husband's birthday (her own son) was in March - no present - no card - nothing for him either. Now her younger son had his 21st birthday in April and she bought him a really nice gift. In the 5 years that my husband and I have been married, we have been over maybe 2 times a year (other than Thanksgiving & Christmas) to eat. Now the son that just got married in February and his new wife are over there for dinner at least 2 times a week. She did have us over approximately 3 weeks ago for dinner but she stressed to us that she may not be able to have us over because she may not have the money. Again this week she mentioned she would like to have us over "if she has the money" (we have offered to even buy the groceries - she has declined). We do not eat more than the average person.
I am extremely hurt that 1. she can afford a 700 rehearsal dinner and a gift for the bride and groom but can't afford even a $10.00 outfit for her new grandbaby 2. She can afford to buy her youngest son a birthday present but can't afford to buy her oldest son a birthday present (my husband) 3. Can afford to have the new bride and groom over for dinner a couple times a week but has a financial problem when it comes to inviting us over for dinner.
We have no weird time schedules; we are not picky - I will even help clean up after dinner (unlike the new wife). My daughter is well behaved.
On her behalf they are not financially set*(which makes this more frustrating that they can stretch their money for others but not for us). Another thing I can think of is that they are not much of cooks so she may be helping them out in this aspect. But if this is the case, it's not fair because my husband and I could have used help in the beginning of our marriage as well. The new bride and groom do not go to school but my husband and I were in our senior years in college when we got married and Lord knows we struggled, especially financially - we could have used some help too.
I do know she loves me, especially her own son. I do know she does not like the new wife very much. I just don't understand and am extremely hurt, I can't stress how hurt I am from this because I do care about her so much. Please advise what to do. Should I say something to her or any other suggestions. It's just not fair
I would speak to your husband about it first. It's possible that he has an understanding with his mother that explains these things.
It may also be that she knows that you and your husband understand that she loves you, but feels like she has to prove it to his younger brother for whatever reason. Or maybe her self esteem is threatened by the new bride for some reason and she feels the need to impress her and her family.
I would suggest inviting her over to eat - maybe once a month? Make sure you give her a card on her birthday, mothers day, and other holidays. If you can't afford it, don't bend over backwards to get her a gift.
Life isn't fair. I'm sure she has reasons for what she does, even if it's quite likely you'll think they're not good ones.
Talk to your husband, make an effort to reach out. Give it some time, but if it still doesn't get better, you may have to talk to her about it.
If you do, remember to use "I" statements. "I feel left out when every one else gets to eat at your house except us". "I feel hurt when I don't get birthday cards from people who love me". You don't want her to feel attacked.
I hope things work out for the best. Good Luck, and congratulations on your new baby.
I was with my girlfriend for 2 years when she got pregnant. It wasn't a planned pregnancy but we decided that we would deal with it. The first week that she brought that baby home things were good. We got a little apartment and I was working full time during the day and she would work a couple hours at night just until I could support us with only my job. Well one day I got home from work and she was gone. She left a note saying that she wasn't ready for a child and that she's leaving our daughter with me. It's been a week since then. I've been doing the best I can but I don't know the first thing about being a parent and I have no one to ask about it. I grew up in foster homes my whole life. I love my little girl to death but I just don't know what to do anymore. She doesn't stop crying. I've tried feeding her, changing her, rocking her, everything that I can think and she keeps crying. I brought her to the doctor and he said that there is nothing physically wrong wtih her. I don't know what to do. If anyone has idea of what could be causing this please let me know. I would also appreciate it if any one knows anything about taking care of a 3 week old baby. Please help me.

Good luck Jack. Being a single parent isn't easy.
First of all, you can tell those idiots who are saying that the child needs her biological mother to go shove it. A child does need a consistent, loving, attentive care giver, but neither biology nor gender trump behavior.
Second, your going to need a support system. Even single parents don't raise a kid all by themselves. Relatives, friends, parent groups, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children can all help you out. You will also need to look into the laws in your state about abandonment.
Now, onto the crying and general baby advice.
When you pick her up, hold her close to your body, so she can hear your heart beat and feel your chest move as you breathe. Rock your body or pace around the room, for some reason, babies find movement soothing.
Have her mostly upright when you feed her. Make sure she burps after every feeding. It's ok if a little bit of spit up comes up with a burp, but it should be just a little bit.
I assume she doesn't have diaper rash (the skin on her butt and vulva should be the same color as the rest of her). When cleaning a girls diaper, always wipe from the front to the back - same when she gets bathed after the umbilical cord / belly button heals. You will not need to use any sort of soap on her vulva, btw. Infant poop is fairly runny and doesn't tend to look and smell much like poop. If she is constipated, I would suggest that you substitute apple juice for orange juice in the other suggestion - it's less acidic, but should also help her clean out her system. I can't imagine that she's constipated at this age, however, that might be good to remember in a few months.
If it helps keep her quiet, it's perfectly ok to let the baby sleep in the bed with you. It's quite rare for a person of any age to roll over in their sleep and smother a baby and it almost never happens to a parent. In many cultures it's considered normal.
I'm not sure what else to suggest at this point. Please don't hesitate to ask for more advice.
I downloaded Limewire, but it says I have to let my firewalls stop blocking it. Is this safe?
Yes and No. Any time you use the internet, even with a firewall, there is some risk involved. File sharing is always a little more risky than say, web browsing with a browser other than internet explorer. If you only unblock the port or ports that limewire requests, you are as safe as you can be while still using a file sharing program.
Limewire has had security holes in the past, but to my knowledge, they have all been fixed. Still, it's a good idea to check for updates regularly, and only install the program from the official limewire site.
Also, if your file sharing, you should have both an anti-virus program and a spyware detector installed. It's also a good idea to regularly check your windows add/remove programs box for things that you didn't install.
Good Luck, and happy file-sharing. :)
i use linux red hat which is an advanced system compared to the microsoft i know so well. i am by no means technologically advanced, but rather a friend of mine installed linux for me. however, he did not install my hp1200 printer, or a sound card. i attempted to install these myself, and failed. it worked fine on microsoft, but very few things are compatible with linux, and i don't know how to properly install the printer and sound card. going back to microsoft is no longer an option, and neither is calling up my friend for more help. thanks!
Hi! Welcome to the wonderful world of open source software. I'm really excited to see a linux question here. In actuality, more hardware is compatible with linux than with windows, as windows drops support for older hardware regularly. However, there is frequently some lag between new hardware being released and it being fully compatible with linux.
I can't really say anything specific about your sound card, because I don't know what you have. I do know that if you type "sndconfig" at the command prompt, red hat should start up a sound card configuration tool. If that doesn't work, ask me again, but let me know what version of red hat and what sound card you have. :)
Now onto the printer. This site says that while your printer will work, there may be some issues with older versions of linux, and/or with red hat.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=677&sort=8&cat=205&page=1
There is also a red hat tool called "printtool" (typing that at the command prompt is the fastest way to start it) that may be able to help you.
I don't know where you've run into problems, or what problems you have, so I can't really offer much direct help. You may want to find a local linux users group (LUG). Some sites that may be of help to you are:
http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/
http://www.linux.org/docs/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/
Good luck, and please don't be afraid to ask. I (and others) will frequently have to request more information, but don't let that intimidate you.
My daughter is 15 months old. She's off her bottle now, but I can't seem to get her off of her pacifier. Does anyone have ideas to get her off her pacifier?
I wouldn't mind her keeping it, except that it is starting to pull her teeth forward.
Our son is almost 2. When he was almost a year, the dentist suggested we get a certain type of pacifier to fix a problem he had with his bite. That took about 6 months or so, then we went back to the other type of pacifier. Now the dentist suggests that we wean him off entirely.
It's involved a little extra crying, but first we started taking it away when he was playing actively. He was allowed to have it when he was sitting quietly, during TV time, at nap time, bed time, or if he was really upset. He got used to this after a few weeks, and we kept it steady for a few more. Then we cut it back to only during TV time right when he woke up, nap time, bed time, and if he hurt himself. We left it like that for about a month. Then it was only for sleeping, and it was only when he was in the crib. For the last week or so, we've taken it out of the crib after it falls out of his mouth when he falls asleep. So when he kinda 1/2 wakes up in the middle of the night, he puts himself back to sleep without it. Starting yesterday, we're stopping it altogether. He has cried himself to sleep, for an average of about a 1/2 hour each time so far. But we expect that by the end of the week, it will only be a few minutes of fussing, and by the end of the month, he won't ask for it.
Good luck!
I know that being religious is good and stuff but my mom is forcing me to do communion. But she isnt forcing my older sister! It makes me so mad that i have no choice and she does. I am the middle child so i usually get treated like this. I want it to be my decision if i want to do communion or not becuz i dont like feeling that im forced to do something. Plus our family never goes to church so it doesnt make any sense. She is gonna sign me up next year to go ther on monday nights but im gonna be in ninth grade and it will probably interfere with school and i wont be able to get my hw done. Can someone please help me get my mom to her senses?
thnx i rate high!
I don't know how it works in your church, but completing the classes didn't make it a requirement to actually receive communion. I do believe it should be your choice if you want to receive communion. However, I also think that learning stuff is fun.
You should talk to your mom about how this situation is likely to drive you away from your church, rather than bring you closer to it. No one likes to be forced to do anything, and forcing religion on someone is wrong.
Remember, you don't have to believe what they tell you - you can use the classes as a chance to practice critical thinking skills (see if they contradict themselves). You get to decide what you believe in, use this as an opportunity to learn more about your religion and see if it fits what you know in your head and feel in your heart.
No one should pressure you into receiving a sacrament. That's between you and your god.
Assuming it doesn't cost anything to go to the classes, I'd let your mom "talk you into" accepting going to the classes in return for the promise that if they do interfere with schoolwork you can either drop the whole program or just skip the nights that you have too much homework. You may make some interesting friends there, and hopefully you'll learn a lot about your families religion. :)
okay so theres this guy at my school who i like ALOT and well its my last year there and i want to date him. and i think he likes me back bcuz hes always flirting with me so of course i flirt back! and the years almost over. what do i do?
-Ck
Ask him on a date!
Even if the romance doesn't last, you've got nothing to loose by kissing in the back of a movie theater. (I do mean just kissing, but if you decide to do more than that, make sure your educated and use protection :)
If you don't have the courage to ask him out, give him your phone number (or email address, or online nic, etc) so that he has a chance to ask you out even after school ends. Mention that you'd like to do something with him over the summer.
Dating is fun, and doesn't have to get serious right away. You can have a good time with someone even if you know your only going to have time for a handful of dates before you part ways. Don't let this time restriction pressure you into going farther (sexually) than you want to. Relax and have fun spending time getting to know each other. That's what dating is all about.
I'm gonna be in a guard picnic this saturday and i'm suppose to bring a side dish...i dont know what to bring. would please give me some suggestions and maybe a recipe? THANKS i'll rate 5's!
It somewhat depends on where the picnic is going to be, what the wether is like, and how many people will be there.
If it's still cold where you are, soup and bread sticks might be quite welcome. Especially if you have some way of keeping it warm. Just don't forget to bring bowls.
Cheese and cracker trays, and veggie trays with ranch dip are healthy and common sides for picnics. A green salad with a couple of dressing options is good too.
Some less common variations on common sides:
* pasta salad: http://www.recipesource.com/fgv/salads/pasta/00/rec0013.html
* bean salad: http://www.recipesource.com/fgv/bean-salads/00/rec0018.html
* Fresh fruit salad: http://recipesource.com/ethnic/africa/middle-east/persian/desser-miveh1.html
I usually don't consider "side dish" to include drinks or deserts.
So my best friend had this crazy idea... she wants me and her boyfriend and her to do like sexual things... i was all for it before but now im thinking twice... i don't have a boyfriend so i have no one holding me back... but im looking fo someone and idk if i should be doing this... i told her ealier i would do anything with them exept having sex... cause im waiting till i get married to have sex... but idk if im going to find that somone and im soo condused... she is my best friend and i love her to death... and this is something we could do together and me and her have been kinda fading... but im scared im going to regret it and me and her are going to have problems and i love her...
Confused and lonely girl
Well, before jumping into any sexual situation, you should make sure everyone discusses and agrees on the answers to the following questions:
1. How far do you want to go? You said "no sex", but does that include oral sex?
2. Birth Control and what to do if it fails.
3. STDs. How often are you going to get tested for them, and how are you going to prevent transmission between tests?
4. Outside Partners. Is it ok for one or both of them to engage in sexual activity with someone not in the trio? Is it ok for you to look for a boyfriend? How far can you go with a potential date before needing to notify them or get their permission?
5. Inside Partnering. Would it always be you with both of them, or would it sometimes be you with only one of them? Would it be primarily them with you as an occasional thing, or would it always be the three of you? Are you both his girlfriends, equally important, or is she his primary? Is your loyalty to both of them equally, or mainly to your best friend? What about on her part - does she value your relationships equally, or is one more important?
6. Sexual attraction. If there's no spark, it's not going to develop just because it would be convenient. As a general rule everyone should be attracted to everyone else that they're involved in sexual activity with.
OK, I think I've given you enough to think and discuss. If you want to discuss it more, or want clarification on any of these topics, please feel free to ask. :)
How do you put a link of ur photos in it(not the photo on ur profile on here) but a link for your photos?
to make a link in html, use the code <a href="http://website.address.here">text you want clicked on</a>
If you need more help, let me know. :)
Hi! I need to make a webpage for a class through either Microsoft FrontPage or Notepad, but I wanted to know do you need a FTP program to view the webpage? I'm trying to work on the webpage but its not viewing correctly. Thanks in advance!
hi!
FTP stands for File Transfer Program. If your not moving your page from your computer to another computer over the internet, you don't need one. :)
When you create your webpage, it needs to be saved with an extension of .htm or .html. You may need to change the settings in windows explorer (not internet explorer) to show file extensions so you can change it. If you used notepad, it will likely save it with a .txt extension and then you will see the code, not the page.
*** ADDED INFO ***
Start out with a very simple page - call it test.html. Open notepad, and type the following:
<html><head><title>Testing</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Testing</h1>
<p>Does this work?</p>
</body>
</html>
When you save in notepad, make sure you save as an .htm file - no .txt. You have to select "all file types" from the drop down box on the save window. It may ask you if your sure. The file's icon should contain a blue e - like for internet explorer. If you can get this to work, then your problem is with the code.
If I'm not making any sense, maybe this site will: http://www.tizag.com/beginnerT/
*** END ADDITION ***
To give more help than this I need more information. Like: Did you decide to use FrontPage or Notepad to create your page? What web browser are you using to view the page? (probably Internet Explorer, but it's good to be sure) What results do you get when you try to view the page?
Good Luck!
i have no problem with working out, its just that i cant eat right, which trows everything out the door. during soccer i lost about 10 pounds just from running a lot and not changing my diet, but i didnt like to eat that much so i didnt. in my family i probably eat the most healthiest besides my dad. and diebetes(sp) runs in my family and i might get it... i just have problems with dedicatiing myself to eat healthy.
im 5'4 and about 148 pounds
What's your question?
hi its me again okay i have a question well me and my boyfriend have been having sex and he says he can't have kids . well we have been having safe sex and i am not scared of it i am just wonderin can i get pregnant if he say's he ant have kids and he doesnt wear a condom when we have sex again?i mean should i trust him on him saying he cant have kids or should i ask someone like his sister? i just dont know if i should believe him and plz answer my question here it is again. Can i get pregnant if my boyfriend says he cant have kids?
I'm glad your using a condom. Keep using it. Nothing else - and I do mean nothing - protects you from STDs during sex. Most people with STDs _don't_know_ that they have them, so it's not like he even has to be lying to you about it.
I would not leave it at "I can't have kids". Ask "why not"? If he's had a vasectomy, he still needs to get checked up periodically to make sure his sperm count stays at 0. Also, keep in mind that it's very unlikely that any man under the age of 25 has gotten a vasectomy. I can't think of anything else that would allow a man to have sex and not be virile, but ask him, them look up more info.
You may also want to consider going on hormonal birth control. I suggest the ring if it's available for you - that way you don't have to remember to take the pill at the same time each day, you just replace your ring once a month.
I used to live with my brother but now i have to live with my other brother and he's constantly drinking and hitting me i don't know what to do if i go to the police then i'll end up in a home again and i don't want to go back to one of those places and if i run away then i'll end up on the street again and that's no good either, but i can't stay here it's getting harder and harder to deal with him and he keeps trying to rape me what can i do?
You need to get out of his house. He is putting you in danger.
I really am not informed enough to tell you what the best way of doing that is.
Even though they are religious (catholic), Covenant House appears to be a pretty good resource and they won't turn you away no matter what you believe. You can call them at 1-800-999-9999, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and they have people who know a lot more about this than I do who can talk to you. They are primarily a shelter for run-aways, but they have a other programs, and know about a lot of programs in areas where they're not active.
I can't direct you much better than that because they are the only national organization I'm aware of. There are millions of more local organizations - if I knew what city you were in, I would be able to find you more resources. If you add info telling me what city your in, I'll search for resources local to you.
I know you need to get out of there. Sooner rather than later.
