I wish people could just realize the impact of their actions on others, and themselves.

Mathue, Eagle River, AK

When I was a freshman in High School I was sexually harassed. A senior in my Chorus classes decided to play pranks on me early in the school. The “pranks” escalated into sexual gestures, and advances, after only a few weeks. The harassment started in the first few weeks of school and picked up until I finally reported it in March of the same school year. I was reluctant to report it because guys can’t be victims of sexual harassment, or so I convinced myself. The whole year I hated school, and mostly my Chorus classes, because of one guy who would not leave me alone. When I finally had enough I reported it with the aid of my parents. The next few days I went through the “red tape” and settled it with the school and district. The hardest part was that I was upset that the guy’s record was going to be damaged with a harassment issue. I wish people could just realize the impact of their actions on others, and themselves.
