My older brother walks in to shower with me and it's making me feel weird?
Is this not ok? I'm almost a teenager now? He makes me think it's ok to shower with him. My mom doesn't say anything? She got mad he got aroused in the pool next to me though. Was that normal? Is he gay?

He was commenting on my public hair and I dont like that or sharing the shower.

Yeah but now I'm mad at him now and holding a grudge. Plus he locked me in the closet once.

If "you" are uncomfortable then it "isn't OK"! just tell him to shower by himself because you would like to have some privacy when you shower. Tell mom also that your old enough to expect some privacy.
As someone who speaks from experience, as I used to shower with my father, I realized shortly after maybe 12 that I wasn’t comfortable with this anymore. I was growing and changing and I didn’t feel like having a grown man naked next to me while all I wanted to do was cleanse was okay anymore. Thankfully he stopped but I had to speak to him about it. You’re mother doesn’t understand your emotions the way you do. She may think its fine along with your brother but if you clearly dont find it okay and it makes you uncomfortable you need to tell him and convince him to stop. Only after that moment, when you express your discomfort and show you wish for the behavior to stop can you bring it to your mothers attention because you actually tried to stop the behavior. If he continues then try to be forceful: lock the doors or shower when he’s busy or not in the house. Best of luck!
