Sexual Harassment Stories and Experiences

From that day on, I’ve never trusted guys

Sad, USA

I was in 6th grade when this happened. I didn’t have many friends and I was very shy. So, I decided to talk to the guidance counselor.

When I went into the guidance counselor’s room, he was sitting on a love sofa. He asked me to sit down and talk. I sat down and I started to talk to him about my problems.

As I was talking, he put his hands on my leg. I didn’t feel very comfortable, but I didn’t say anything. He started to move his hand up my leg and under my skirt. I wanted to run away but I just couldn’t at that moment. He suddenly touched my private and I felt very uncomfortable. I removed his hand and continued to talk. After I did this, he pushed me down on the sofa and started to kiss me.

I started crying and he stopped when I did. He looked a little sorry but then he grabbed my shirt and started pulling on it and my breasts were revealed.

I knew this behavior was not right so I screamed on the top of my lungs and the principle barged in and fired the guidance counselor.

I started to wear long pants, and turtle necks. From that day on, I’ve never trusted guys.

I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I totally can identify with the “long pants and turtle necks” thing. It is so hard because, it seems like I can’t trust anyone because of one man who broke the trust years ago. Anyway, I don’t have any helpful advice… I’m still trying to find the answer about how to get over it, but I don’t know if it helps to know there’s someone else out there who is struggling with the same thing…

Come Sad. u shouldn’t have left him like that. u should have given him such a nice punishment that not again he repeats the same with some other innocent.
Good Luck. Beware of hounds which are full of lust

For a while i did not trust guys because of harassment. I really don’t know how to help you though because how i really overcame it was by becoming friends with a guy who put off his feelings for mine. Even after we started to date he waited four months for me to be ready to kiss him. So yes there are some horrible guys, i know i had been sexually harassed by multiple guys and cyber stalked and ya. But there are guys who you can learn to trust. So be careful, but don’t give up.
