On Christmas, my siblings and I got new laptops, but my brother uses his every day after school (unlike my sister and I), and no one really knows what he is doing because he is in a totally different part of our house. I started sneaking up on him tonight (because I do that alot to make sure he is doing his hw and just to scare him) and I looked at the screen and saw pictures of almost naked women. I didn't want to creep up on him then because it would be a very awkward situation, and I wouldn't be able to handle it, so instead I creeped back to the room I was in. After that I walked into the room he was in so he could hear me and said, "Doing your homework?" When I said that, I saw him close the window screen with the pictures of the women, and then he started shouting at me and saying things like, "Go away!"... I don't know whether I should tell my parents or not and if I did I don't know how I would tell them. I also wouldn't know if they would believe me or not. What should I do???

you tell him that u saw him doing that stuff and what would his parents do if they caught him !!
let him know that it's not a cool thing to do... & explain him bout the consequences... that would be enough to make him alert in future!

Yes, your parents probably need to know what you suspect (I am assuming your brother is quite young ?) . However, if you aren't fairly diplomatic about this, your brother is going to think you're a bit of a sneak, will probably give you a hard time and it certainly isn't going to strengthen the relationship between you.
You walked in on him accidentally. Is there some way you could arrange it so that they could walk in on him "accidentally ?" I'm sure you could put your mind to it and come up with something.

You want to know if you should tell your parent's that your brother's using his computer to see naked woman in the Internet, but you do not know how to go about telling them since you don't know if they believe you, or not. First of all,you do not mention how old you and your brother are? and if your parent's are aware that there are a lot of things that kids, can get to see via the computer. If you do not tell them about this incident with your brother, it can get worse because there have been cases of missing kids, and not being able to find them or worse things that can happen to them I am not going to mentioned them because I do not know how old you are. Tell your parents about what you saw, in your brother's computer and if they don't believe you tell them you told them because you care about your brother. I hope that everything will work out alright, and that you brother won't hold it against you, and if he does, one of this days he will thank you for caring about him. Good Luck, I hope everything will come out alright.

Tell your parents that you are worried about your brother. Tell them that you have noticed he is always using the computer away from everyone else. Let them know what you saw, and tell them that if they don't believe you they can just check his history...
It sounds to me like it's time for them to set some parent controls and rules as to where and how these computers are used for all of you...

how old is your brother??? i think looking at naked woman as a teenager and even as a man is normal... its curiosity... i would be concerned that he was chatting with strangers online more than if he were just looking up pictures... maybe when he's not around you could just tell your mom or dad your concerned about him talking on chatrooms or something and tell them to please not let him know you were the one to confront them. and maybe they could check his history on his computer and talk to him about internet safety and what is and what isn't appropriate.
if your parents bought you each laptops, they should be monitoring you guys anyway... i'm assuming your all teenagers...

Tell your parents what you saw. They are older and wiser and can decide what is best to do, if anything. Tell them you'd rather them not tell him how they found out. You should not have to worry about this. You are not his parent. Just let them know, and you can have a clear conscience. They will know what to do.

First, it depends on how old he is... if he is younger than 15 I would tell your parents... If he is older.. It is perfectly normal for him to be curious... it will be either a phase or something in his nature, and if it is in his nature he will find other ways to scope out girls... If not on the internet he will search elsewhere. The internet will be safer!

Tell your parents...being open and honest is important. I am sure they didn't give you kids laptops to be used the way he is using his. If he is curious about the nature of these woman then he should be talking to your parents as well.

At his age, it is perfectly normal for him to watch that stuff. It is nothing weird. And try to stop spying on him. You do not have to tell your parents, or talk to him. It is his own privacy. Don't worry, I have a brother, I know how u feel.

Keep your nose out of other people's business. The time you spend stalking ,should be spent being kind to others
