askmex3 answered Friday August 19 2005, 7:12 pm: it dosnet sound like abuse, however it could be thought of as sexual harassment! it depends on the age of your brother and his maturity level too! he could have thought it was just a joke?! but you know if he was kidding or not! if you feel really uncomftorable and disturbed after this I would just talk to a parent or an adult you can trust! sorry i couldnt answer in a yes or no =/! but hopefully ive been of some assistance ♥ [ askmex3's advice column | Ask askmex3 A Question ]
x_pink_x109 answered Friday August 19 2005, 6:42 pm: This is sexual harassment, but not NECCESARILY abuse. You should talk to a family member. This is the sickest thing I think anyone has ever done! UGH!
Tell him if he ever does this again, you will tell your mom or dad or guardian what he did! You won't sound like a "tattle tale". You'll be DOING THE RIGHT THING! This is gross and he deserves to be... not around you.
You can email me at x_pink_x109@yahoo.com if you want to talk about ANYTHING you have on your mind.

sunnyville answered Friday August 19 2005, 12:29 pm: That is abuse and that's just nasty.How could he actually do something like that.Your parents have to know about this if they don't believe you go get help from friends,psychiatrist,or an adult who will believe you.You have to do something about this it's not too late if you don't than it's most likely he'll probably go to the limit.This situation has to be solved there is no way you too could be alone together stay away from him,watch your back, and you have to defend yourself when he does that.This brother of yours needs help!Show him you're tuff and yell at him,and tell him if he keeps on doing that your going to tell on him!Take very good care of yourself.Any time you need help write me in my inbox.

XSugarPieX77 answered Friday August 19 2005, 11:09 am: Hmmm, if it was something that he did a lot and it makes you feel uncomfortable then it would be called sexual harrasment. If it was like, a pinch in the butt joking around then it wouldnt be, but thats odd that your brother puts his hands down your pants. You should tell someone. Hope I helped.

xcheerbabex108 answered Friday August 19 2005, 11:04 am: Yes, but I don't think its abuse, exactly, but I think it's more discusting, because he may (it sounds like) he has a mental illness of some sort. You don't just go up to your sibling and do that kind of thing. I think you should tell someone or get help for him.
sbloemeke answered Friday August 19 2005, 10:46 am: Definately yes. Anything that anyone does that makes you feel unconfortable that they continue after telling them to stop is abuse. Definately tell your dad or mom first, and if you already have, and he still does it, go to the police. Warn him first that you will report him to the authorities if he still does things like this.

FunnyCide answered Friday August 19 2005, 10:32 am: Yes, that is sexual abuse. Just because y'all are blood related doesn't mean he can touch you wherever he wants. It is YOUR body, don't let others violate it.

Dakmor answered Friday August 19 2005, 10:29 am: Er, yes. That is very abusive. There was actually a sketch of Mad TV about that, but trust me, that doesn't make it unabusive. You should tell someone about this. [ Dakmor's advice column | Ask Dakmor A Question ]
TheOldOne answered Friday August 19 2005, 10:25 am: It's very inappropriate, and yes, it falls under the category of abuse. You should talk to your parents about it, but perhaps you should first tell your brother that that's what you're going to do, if he doesn't stop.
He may say that's squealing, but he's the one who started out by breaking the rules. And since he's presumably bigger and stronger than you, it's totally appropriate for you to bring your parents into this.
It's not "squealing" to call the police when someone has stolen your stuff after all. Your brother is family, but what he's doing is REALLY inappropriate.
