My brother is looking up some questionable stuff online?

Question

What should I do? He looked up butt, woman, lady, ladyish, on google search, google image search, and wikipedia, and wikipedia does not hold back on the images..

Should I tell my parents? Should I confront him about it and tell him to stop and not tell my parents? He's 10 years old.

Answer 1

ladyish lol. come on he's just curious. as soon as he starts seeing the hardcore stuff tell your parents. but for now I think it's natural.

Answer 2

Aha! Just confront him about it without telling your parents. It's normal :P Catch him in the act!

Answer 3

Tell him he's searching the wrong things on the internet.

Tell him to try "b***s". It's not too harsh of a word, but it gets the job done.

Answer 4

Images such as the ones he looks up are bad for the mind. "Questionable" things on the internet ruin your mind.

Answer 5

well um yea... hes 10 yrs old and although almost EVERYONE will do this sometime.. being 10 yrs old on the internet is very dangerous.

he could get into a site and someone start chatting with him.. and yea.. ya never know.

Look into this.. its free.

Answer 6

By searching those words Im not too sure if anything very explicit would come up

Even if so, he would probablly be going through puberty and is curious about these sorts of things. I also have a 10 year old brother and telling your parents would only be embarassing and awkward for the both of you. Its natrual and normal, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Answer 7

I'd put a parental block on the computer, and I'd let your parents know.  He's just curious and it better your parents tell him about things than him learning some bad stuff from the internet.

Answer 8

nahh its normal,, hes just horny

Answer 9

This will not get better.  I would just mention to your parents that they should check the history on the computers more often.  Depending on your age, he may not listen to you.  Yes, most boys go through the p**n stage but he is looking up some innocent words and can stumble upon things he is not ready for.

Answer 10

Yes you should do both. Tell him that you are going to tell your parents - and DO tell your parents so that they can put privacy levels on. He is only 10 for goodness sake....I know he is curious, but there is no need for him to be exposed to this when he is so young.

Answer 11

id tell him to stop an threaten to tell the parents if he dosent.  he s kinda young to be looking at that kind of stuff.  also why is he on the computer in the first place tell him to go play with his freinds outside in nice fresh air in the sun

Answer 12

ten is way to young to be looking at p**n! tell your parents, and if you use google make sure safe search is on, you can also change the internet settings and buy software that can help

Answer 13

I personally would not tell on my 10 yrs old brother for words lady, ladyish, woman and butt, searched on google. Honestly they could be way worse words. Maybe you should just keep your eye out in case he looks up other things. Those words, I think, are really nothing to get worried about or tell on him for. Plus, it is something stupid to break trust over. If he starts looking up other words, possibly pornagraphic terms, then I would say something to him or to your parents, but I wouldnt make a stink about looking up a ladies butt..lol

hope this helps

Answer 14

talk to your parents if it grosses you out too much :)

Answer 15

He's ten. You don't make negotiations with a ten year old. Do what's best for him and tell your parents. Some kinky stuff comes up on the internet.

Answer 16

just hint 2 him that uk and he'll get all nervous. don't worry he's just curious. same thing happened with my little brother.

Answer 17

For his sake do not talk to him or your parents about this. I know you probably find this all a bit strange especially for a kid of his age but he needs to find out about these things for himself and if you stunt him or confront him he'll not only be embarassed but to all his mates he'll be weird. Let him get it out of his system and develop. Please for his sake

Answer 18

na it's what boy's do, but if he was looking at p**n i would tell your parent's. but since he's not i would just let it be...

Answer 19

Ten years old is an age where boys start to wonder about the opposite s*x.  I think it may be a good idea to tell your parents so that they may tell him the story of the "birds and bees"... better they tell him than for him to be misinformed.

Answer 20

Set up parental controls on the computer that he is getting on.  block him from any search engines and webpages like wiki.  

DON"T TELL HIM!!!!

Give your parents the password that way they can have access.

Parental controls can be your friend if you use them correctly.

Answer 21

LOL ladyish.  What is that?  I'd let your parents know, but he's being a pretty typical 10 yo boy.

Answer 22

ii would let the boy look and let him get caught on his own dont say anything 2 him either no need 2 snitch ur lucky hes not looking up guys butts then it would be a problem

Answer 23

yes, but mention it to your father, he was a 10 yr old once so wont pitch to big a fit.  I mean really it is not that big a deal, he is 10, he is curious.  *lol*  When I was 10 I giggled at the womens underwear section in a sears catalogue.  Better to look it up online than with the neighbors daughter, right? (explain that one to mom n dad...)

Now if he starts looking up farm animals and "kinky pets" well, then I would worry.  (It is women's butts he is looking up, right?)  So at least you know he is straight.

I'd be more worried if a 10 yr old boy had no interest at all in learning about the opposite s*x.

So yeah, mention it to your dad, show him this article / answer if you wish, let him decide what to do.

Answer 24

Talk to your parents about it.

You're his sister, it's your job to tell on him.

It's their job to parent them.

Hah.

Answer 25

yeah he's just curious.

if i were you i would just keep it to myself and bring it up around his friends when he's older.

i would find that quite hilarious.

Answer 26

Well, when i was about 10 or so my brother got caught looking at that kinda stuff, and got grounded. but at the moment my dad's girlfriend didnt like it so he got grounded. but my father is easy going and my brother didnt get in as much trouble as he would if my father wasnt there. so, i would say tell your father. but still you could confront him and what not.if you have a brother who is older then him tell him to talk to your younger brother and see whats up. and thats the best way i could put that. hope it helps :D

Answer 27

Your brother is probably just curious. He might hear other people talking using those words and he doesn't know what they mean. Just talk to him as a big sister and answer his questions if it is appreciate enough for him. He is probably embarrassed to not know what these words are/mean.
