How do i deal with this?

[Lovabledarkness]

My little brother seems to be getting a tad inappropiate with me. I'm not sure if it's a stage all boys go through but he only seems to be focused on me. He likes to stare at my chest and give me awkwardly long hugs. I've tried talking to him but it doesnt seem to work. Does anyone know what i should do?

I'm so glad to hear that you opened up to your mom,. Remember that you can talk to your mom but it's also good to know that you can reach out here, for any reason under the sun. And you can make friends in the adult or teenage forums, and talk about school or home or anything under the sun. Thanks for posting. Let us know if your mom talking to him has helped, okay?

Maybe you could talk to your mom and she could talk to him about the facts of life. Like you are growing and at the age where it's important for you that you have "boundaries". I think he just needs to talk to his mom and/or dad about boundaries. So talk to your mom and let her know how you feel, and hopefully she'll be able to get through to him , and you wont' have to take a chance at hurting his feelings just because he's going through a stage, or extremely physically demonstrative.

I'm so glad that you found Medhelp. It's such a great place to come for advice .I sure wish i had this place when I was younger.

All the best.

Yeah.  Tell him what I see my son's teacher say at school:  "It's my body, leave it alone."  He does not say it in a mean way (a lot of kids are huggers), but he says it clearly and calmly if a kid makes a move.  

In other words, you do not have to put up with it, and it is not rude to let him know there are limits.  Just do it calmly and routinely.
