What is a good exercise for the stomach, not just the abdomen but from the ribs to the abdomen that doesn't make the back hurt and doesn't require any exercise equipment?

Trust me. I've researched on this before and sit ups don't work. Neither do crunches. They just hurt your neck and back. (I don't know why I have to do them in gym in school!!) Here's a link with an animation on an efficient exercise that'll work:

Lie on the floor with support (towel/blanked) under the small of your back. Slowly lift straight legs toward ceiling. Lower them slowly, stopping every few inches and holding that position for a count of ten. Repeat until you feel you've worked your muscles, but don't overdo it. You will be able to do more repetitions as you build the muscles.
Here is another idea. Go to youtube.com and type in the type of exercise you are looking for: I typed in "abdomen exercise" and got this:

the best is crunches...but it can hurt yr back...
yu can try some on to stand on yr feet and then do like25 crunches a day like wheneva yu get up from the floor yu touch the hand of the person standing on yr feet ...touch right hand wid right hand and left with left....and the hands of that person shud be at waist level...
other than that yu can lay on your back ... place yr hands under yr hips and lift yr legs straight up 90degrees and count till 50 ... relax for 15-20 seconds go up again and count till 60... do atleast thrice!
