my little brother randomly today bent over and said his stomach hurt and it was the worst pain he had ever felt. with in 15 minutes he could no longer stand and only could lie down. that was about 2 hours ago. i gave him advil and it didnt help to much. he says its like someone kicked him in the gut.how worried should i be?i called my parents who said i should put him to bed and check him in the morning. all i could think of was appendicitis (spelling?). there is no discoloration and it is on his left side right below the belly button.

Pain in the adomen

If it's below the belly button, I would think it might be a really bad case of gas. Appedicitis, I think, is painful in the lower right quadrant of the belly. I'm not sure though.

aight just kinda freaked out cause my best friend from the states just had to have an emergency appendicitisamine so thought it might be BAD.

From what you've told us, it could well be appendicitis. In appendicitis the pain usually localises on the right side, but that isn't reliable. If there's still pain when you read this and your brother hasn't been to a doctor or hospital, he should be dragged there immediately.
