Have you experienced peers sexual harassment during high school?

Luckily, i haven't lol.
But i think girls have higher chances to experience these things so, question arises what to do in that situation?

Ans- Well, Harassment can be a big problem for teens, especially when smartphones, online messaging, and social media sites make it easy for bullies to do their thing!!!

There's no single "right" way to respond to sexual harassment. Each situation is unique. It often can be helpful to start by telling the person doing the harassing to stop. Let him know that this behavior is not OK with you. Sometimes that will be enough, but not always. The harasser may not stop. He might even laugh off your request, tease you, or bother you more!!!

That's why it's important to share what's happening with an adult you trust. Is there a parent, relative, coach, or teacher you can talk to? More and more schools have a designated person who's there to talk about bullying issues, so find out if there's someone at your school!!!

Most schools have a sexual harassment policy or a bullying policy to protect you. Ask a guidance counselor, school nurse, or administrator about your school's policy. If you find the adult you talk to doesn't take your complaints seriously at first, you may have to repeat yourself or find someone else who will listen!!!

There's no doubt it can feel embarrassing to talk about sexual harassment at first. But that uncomfortable feeling quickly wears off after a minute or so of conversation. In most cases, telling someone sooner leads to faster results and fewer problems down the line, so it's worth it!!!

It can help to keep a record of the events that have happened. Write down dates and short descriptions in a journal. Save any offensive pictures, videos, texts, or IMs as evidence. That way you'll have them if your school or family has to take legal action. To avoid going through feeling upset all over again, save this evidence someplace where you don't have to see it every day!!!

Not during high school but after high school when I worked at mcdonalds. At work the girls would slap my butt when I would walk past them. It was actually one girl. She would pinch my butt when I was making fries or slap it with a towel. I was really shy and depressed at the time too. She was this tall, skinny, black girl.

I had a crush on her. I really was sexually attracted to her. But walking past me pinching my butt, laughing about it in front of everyone, teasing me. It was really humiliating. Sometimes I felt like I wanted to cry but I couldn't because I was a man. I also want to get angry and punch her in the face but I couldn't... because I was a man.

So it went on like that for awhile. Each time I would go to work she would scare me and pinch my butt. It was so humiliating and I didn't know what to do. I couldn't go to management because as a man that would look weak. This was with black co workers so you couldn't snitch. I am black by the way. So that was another influence too. I couldn't look weak as a black man. It got to the point where I thought about killing myself. not really because of that but because of that along with everything in life at the time.

One day after several months the mcdonalds manager saw it happen. she was a fat older white woman. this manager told her to knock it off. then it never happened again.

I wish I was a stronger man back then. I was a shy guy. I didn't flirt with the girl sexually harassing me. But I wish I had been a man and told her I liked her. Or asked her out. maybe then she would have stopped pinching my ass. She was really hot. I had a crush on her for sure. I wanted to have sex with her so bad. But when she is pinching your ass you feel unloved and uncared for. you feel like you are a joke to her in front of the entire crew. one of the most humiliating experience in my life. It was triggering too because I am a survivor of sexual abuse.

Yes! I was in middle school in seventh or eight grade (12 or 13). this particular guy I liked brushed the back of his hand discretely against my butt ocasionally, and I allowed it because I liked it. I'm sure he told his friend because then his friend tried to do it once (I was frozen i didn't know what to say even tough I didn't like it), then twice, then three times and I finally told him to Stop it or I would tell our principal. I wish girls were told what to do in these situations! I feel like I waited too long to say something with this guy. Oh, also, in eight grade as well, one guy friend spanked me with a newspaper when I was walking by, and I told him to respect me. I guess these guys were raging in hormones at that age lol.

Not really there was a bit of horse play amongst the students which would probably be considered sexual harrassment by the politically correct of 2020 but nobody thought of it that way then. It was just teenage behaviour.
