Sexual Health 
When I rode the greyhound for 9hrs, I sat with my legs crossed, everytime I dozed off this old fart kept rubbing my butt and thighs.
Everytime i turned around and told him to stop he acted like he didn't do anything!! I thought i was crazy!!!
The next time i rode the bus for 9hrs the girl next to me talked the entire way. When we arrived in New York she insisted the train stop was in the opposit direction!
I don't know my way around like that but something told me not to trust her. When I looked on my phone I showed her she was wrong she got angry at me for looking at my phone and kept insisting the map was incorrect and stormed off...
I had a feeling she was trying to rob me since she told me she uses drugs and is homeless.
Anyway Saturday i rode on the bus for 9 hrs and this man kept drilling me trying to date me. I kept rejecting him and ignoring him. He kept rubbing my thighs and placing his head on my shoulder. He touched my butt several times. He took my sandwhich out my hand and ate it. He took my water and drank that too. He tried to make me pay for his things at the rest stop. He kept putting his arm around me and looking in my phone screen so I couldn't even text my mom. He snatched my phone from me and called himself and has my number. He texts me and calls me
Just now i was walking with my mom and i saw him. He looked me in my face and thank god didn't say a word!
My mom says he probably didn't because he saw me with her.
I don't want to travel amymore I don't know what to do. When some men talk to me i try to be as direct as possible. But some just dont go away. They touch me i say no i move their hands i say stop doing this without permission
I look young for my age so I don't know if that's why. But I'm scared and keep having nightmares. I wear loose clothes and always have on headphones.
When im at the bus stop guys stop their car very close to me and try talking to me.
I feel really upset how do i make this stop?
What Girls & Guys Said
47 131If there's a puanic button somewhere use it. If not, stay close to the driver. If it happens more than once call the police. A good self defence tactic is to facepalm someone in the nose. You just take your palm and shove it in their face then make a quick exit to somewhere you're not being violated.
Just learn self defence my friend, it works wonders
So basically only those 2 times? lol... I think it's just an incident... not. a regular thing
A taser. Easiest fix.
And that's illegal. So if you record them doing it or have witnesses. Just get their name and number. And then call the cops on them. Or all the cops anyways. That will also deter them.
Buy a hand gun.. I don’t know how you dress but if you can hide it whit your jacket and just show it to them when they do something and tell them to back off or get a travel buddy
Sit close to the bus driver and complain to him when it happens. Complain to the company if he doesn't do anything about it and ask if it's their policy to let their passengers harass others.
I can only tell you what I would do. I would carry an icepick and stab them in the hands and fingers.
And if that didn't work, I'd put it in their throat.
Carry a 5 million volt taser and use it when people touch you. A 5 million volt taser will get your point across pretty quick, at the speed of light actually.
You need a taser. Not pepper spray or else everyone on the bus will be blinded because gas spreads. You need a taster so you can teach them to leave you alone as long as you use it with reason, and logic.
Get a taser pull it out turn it on then say next time you touch me I'm going to taze you in the face and if he does it again do it fr
Buy pepper spray or bear mase
Get a special shock collar so he (the jerk) gets the shock and not you.
If my sandwich is taken by someone then I give him a hulk smash
Update : Good luck!
You should get pepper spray or mase. You could also take a self defense class to get real techniques from trained professionals.
Take a taxi. We cannot change others, but we can come up with own concepts.
Don't take shit from a man get loud and call him off and he will back down. Talk to the bus driver to throw him out.
I'm glad you will be flying from now on. You need to be more forceful with people that are bothering you. If they dont listen to you, then yell loudly "I said leave me alone" or "I am not interested, please dont bother me" or whatever
The only way to protect yourself is to turn it into a scene or to find another seat while telling them to piss off. Or at least protect yourself without violence.
Uau, that's really disgusting...
I would just get some pepper spay, one thing is making small talk and insisting on a date, but getting that physical against your will is absolutely not cool.
Stop traveling on Greyhound!!
I've hard horrible experiences on interstate busses as well. I've been using them for like 3 or 4 years to go visit my boyfriend lol. I will pay for plane tickets now.
Pepper spray
