Then, after I told him […]

In high school, a pastor’s son became obsessed with having me all to himself and made sexual advances at me, which I rejected.
He became angry and vowed “if I can’t have her, nobody will.” His sister even helped trash my reputation by telling him and the entire school that I was a “sex […]

I am a freshman in college and I just recently had to deal with sexual harassment with one of my professors. He told the class to make meetings with him before each project was due, just so that we could see if we were on the right track. Well, each time my friend and […]

When I was at school, a boy kept hitting my bottom, and touching and mocking me in a bad way. I was scared, so I kept it a secret, yet my friends and the boy’s friends knew.
The boy made a mistake of telling the janitor I was “sexy,” and the janitor told […]
