Help on menu click

Hello guys, im new to jquery, i got this code from another site, and i dont know how to change it properly.

  1. $(function(){
            var menus = $("#individuals, #institutions");
            menus.click(function(){
                menus.not(this).removeClass("menu_ativo_english");
                $(this).toggleClass("menu_ativo_english");
            });
        });
PS: "#individuals" and "#institutions" are the menu id's.
"menu_ativo_english" is the class that i used to change the background of the current ID.

im using this to change the background of my top menu. But when i click twice the menu just change it back instead of staying the same when i click in the same item twice.

I dont know how to get the ID i clicked and check if it is the same i clicked again(then the background wont change).

I dont know if i explained well, but if you can help me ill be gratefull.

Thanks!
