It always got worse after I tried to report it
Roshanda
I am a 17 year old senior in high school. From the 6th through the 10th grade, I was sexually harassed by a guy at my school. He was a few years older than me. At that time we rode the bus together and had Drivers Ed together.
The first encounter I had with him was on the bus. He started grabbing my breasts and trying to put his hands between my legs.
It made me very uncomfortable, but instead of saying something, I just moved my legs and moved his hands but It didn’t seem to work very well.
I told a teacher about the incident but nothing changed.
So as that year passed, it seemed to get worse. He started following me down the hallways and trying to follow me into the bathroom.
It freaked me out because I didn’t know what to do.
Well I told someone who told my mom. My mom came to the school and talked to the principle. Then they said they had it under control.
Well they didn’t. In my 9th grade year, he continued to touch me. He would put his hands down my pants. Once, he pinned me into a corner and started kissing me. I became scared that he was going to try and rape me. One of my teachers had to help get him away from me.
Every time I tried to report it to someone, it didn’t get any better, it only got worse.
In the middle of my 10th grade year, he quit school. But before he left, he tried to get me to have sex with him at school. At that time a lot was going on with me. It scared the heck out of me.
Well now he is gone, but I still think about it. It scares me that he could come back and try to do it all over again.
I don’t know what to do cause now my uncle has started touching me in inappropriately. I’m really scared and I don’t know where to turn cause my mom doesn’t believe me. I just don’t know any more.
Roshanda, I am glad this creep is gone. But I am very concerned about what you have shared about your uncle. As I mentioned in my email to you, RAINN is a great organization that can help you deal with this. They will believe you, as I do. Again, their website address is http://www.rainn.org Please contact them ASAP! –Jennifer
You need to report this act with your mother as she is the only person that will help you since no one is doing anything about the boy’s act. Also the boy will continue to harrass you if you don’t do anything and you stay quiet. You need to stand up for yourself and not let him do this to you or he will continue to do this shameless act as he knows you are silent and won’t do anything else. Also reporting him will help other females from being harm from this pervert…….
You should tell an adult who you feel comfortable with. like maybe one of your teachers, counciler, or even the parents of a very close friend of yours. You should not stay silent on this issue, you need to tell someone and ask for help.
