Sexual Harassment Stories and Experiences

 Carrie, Colorado   

     I am a senior in high school and have been harassed by many of my classmates because I am known as the “hot girl with the nice body.”

     One time I was just walking down the school hall and a guy grabs my butt and tells me I have a nice ass.   Another time was when I was in the classroom sitting next to one of my guy friends and his other friends.  I was wearing a skirt and he reached up my skirt.  I pulled his hand out and asked him what he was doing.  He said “I’m just trying to have some fun.”   Then he went up my skirt again… I didn’t know what to do because he was a really good friend.  I got really self-conscious and never wore a skirt again or a low-cut shirt. 

     This kind of thing happens to me a lot.  I tell my friends but they think I should be flattered. I AM NOT!  It makes me even more self-conscious. 

     I finally decided to tell a teacher about this and it helped.  They talked to the guys and told them that they have seen this kind of thing before from them.  I wasn’t alone anymore. 

     I am now in college with a nice boyfriend.  But I will never forget all about high school and the boys that did that to me.  I am glad that I told the teachers about what was happening. I think everyone going through something like this should tell.  It’s like a whole lot off your shoulders.
