Hello friends. I'm worried about my younger brother. He's 17, and very sheltered. I just found out yesterday that he doesn't even know what masturbation is. My dad is very reluctant to talk about anything related to sex. In fact, I think everything I've learned about sex has been through other sources. I wish I could be there for my brother, but I'm going through hell myself right now, and most of the time I'm so tense I don't even want to talk to him.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

My brother has been home schooled, like I was. I think our homeschooling experience was helpful in several ways, especially academically, but there was a large social element that was lacking. Most of the time we didn't see anybody our age except on Sundays and one other day of the week when we took classes with a homeschool co-op group.
I'm worried about him, because he will be starting college next school year, and he struggles with insecurity already. I know he will be in for a shock. He just seems naive.

Well, don't worry too much about it. Kids grow up pretty fast. If he's a smart one, he'll catch on easily.
Anyway, maybe someone in your family like your parents or even you could teach him about sex and how to be respectful with girls and be right with God, just so that he's informed and doesn't go off in the wrong direction.
A year's still a long way to go, you know.
Jesus be with you guys all the way.
