What would you do?

Post » Sat Aug 14, 2010 7:45 am

Okay. So on Tuesday, my girlfriend is in a bad mood when I walk into the class that I have with her which is 6th period. I ask her what's wrong and she's saying" If I tell you you are not allowed to get mad." So in my mind I'm thinking "Ahh [censored]....Another guy touched her"(Yes it's not the first time. She doesn't let guys touch her. They do it and she just gets humiliated and walks away.). WHen she finally tells me what happened, she says a guy was asking "Please touch my weewee(In a different word that starts with a d)" and "Will you just give me a massage already"(On a place that starts with a d). She just said no over and over again.

So what would you personally do if your loved one was being asked this? What should I do?

And no I'm not in the class that this happened in.

Then talk to more than the principal. Talk to the teachers, and find one who is motivated enough to make stuff happen. Chain of command stuff too. If the principal won't do anything about it just go above him and report it to the police directly.

Hmm. Then again you could also try to work it out with the guy in question, ie tell him what he's doing is sixual harassment and that he needs to stop. Always try to resolve conflicts at the lowest level, and then move up.

Hypothetically speaking, it would involve violence. Then again, I'm not at school, and thus don't have to deal with that whole "leave it to the teachers" crap.

Go above him then, or someone that would be able to in your stead, like other faculty. The principle clearly isn't doing his job very well, because that's not acceptable.

Most cell phones and MP3 players should have some sort of recording function these days, have her record it and then show it to the principal. I'm assuming they can't do anything without proof, and a recording should be enough.

How exactly do you propose he record something that happened in the past?

Extending on from what others have said, I'm pretty sure showing such a blasé attitude to sixual harassment at a school is reportable, especially when it's the principal.

This is exactly why. But it's more of a random thing. She wouldn't be able to whip out her phone and start recording without him or the teacher taking notice.

School councilor and then police - and make sure that they both know the principal was notified and failed to take any action what so ever; I'm pretty sure he's legally bound to report it...

sixual harassment is not something to just let go.

I want to clarify the above... sixUAL HARASSMENT IS NOT SOMETHING TO JUST LET GO.

It can seriously haunt people for the rest of their lives and really [censored] them up. Serious actions need to be taken - especially with this "guys just touch her" [censored].

School councilors

That's a good idea. Councilors tend to be more able and willing to deal with problems amongst the students than the administration is.

I would be so pissed off, im not sure what I would do tbh. Im not sure the police would do anything w/o proof, and if the principal wont do anything....

What tops this off and makes me rage is that its so easy for this to be ignored. Im kind of scrawny so brute force wouldnt cut it... the helplessness GRRRRRR.

You need to do something though. Touching to verbal harassment... Things can escalate then it would become a serious problem.

If the police won't do anything, lodge a police report everyday, and don't stop until they do something.

Same with your school. Everyday go in, and raise hell in the offices until they do something.

Seem more like a guy acting like a complete jerk than "sixual harassment".

Boss to employee : Sleep with me or you're fired - sixual harassment
High school kid to other high school kid : Touch my wee wee - really bad pickup line.

Well the thing is she has to do something. She has to say something (dunno if she did)

Seriously schools (and businesses too) will get real scared real fast when you start mentioning lawsuits and sixual harassment in the same sentence....hell they're afraid of those words when used independently (if you're in the U.S. anyway)

But seriously if it's just the OP reporting it not much is going to get done. The girlfriend actually has to say something otherwise nothing can be done.

@Neuro

It became sixual harassment when he kept after her and kept bothering her (at least that's what I got from the OP)

If it was just a one time thing maybe a bad pickup line

Over and over-sixual harassment

Why is your girlfriend incapable of telling rude fellows like this to [censored] off and die?
Or report them herself? Does she have some deep seated fear of standing up for herself?
Can she not think of a witty comeback, such as "No, I am sure you touch it enough!" to the guy?

Maybe it's me, but I always liked to fight my own battles. If I guy gave me crap, I dealt with it. I didn't involve boyfriends, it's my business.
If I can't take care of me, well, why should they put forth effort?

I agree with Neuro, seems more a case of poor male socialising than sixual harassment.

This along with talking to school counselors might do the trick.

If seriously all else fails. I dont know if I could restrain myself from beating the crap out of the [censored] doing the harassing.

And yes, try to get her to bring up the issue herself to the principal. Maybe have her or your friends also bring it up.

Report it to the police. I believe they have to investigate all sixual complaints they get.

My girlfriend doesn't want to make a big deal about it because she says that something always goes wrong in situations where she makes a big deal. And I understand it because I know about her life and what kind of crap she's been through. So that's why she wont tell him to eff off or some other thing.

But here's what I am doing right now. The principal said he could only do something with the victims account and proof. My girlfriend wont confront him because of the above. Also because she has no proof. So I'm talking to the guy and telling him (With some f-bombs and other words) that if he does it one more time, I'll make sure he becomes registered as a convicted six offender for the rest of his life. Or I'll deal with him in another way if all else fails, and he decides to confront me in a not so nice way that involves fists.

The issue with this(and I have no idea if applies towards the OP's g/f or not), is that some women just aren't capable of telling a guy to stop, or no for that matter. Example: When I was younger, I had this girl whom I hung out with a good bit(I had a crush on her). She was dating this one guy who was a real [censored], whom also happened to be a guy I hung out with and was friends with(I didn't realize he was an [censored] until after what I'm about to explain). So, he was her first and all that jazz, and she was "madly in love with him". So, he took advantage of it, and made her do all sorts of [censored] things, included in which were forcing her to perform sixual acts on his friends. I found out about this, because he told her to perform one on me. She explained it to me, and was going to, until I told her no, that she shouldn't be doing stuff like that for him, that it was wrong. I'm happy to say, that it was my refusal that allowed her to wake up and realize that he was the [censored]tiest boyfriend in history, and she dumped his ass. But until that point, she was willing to do whatever he said, because she thought thats what a girl was supposed to do.

It's not always a case of "not standing up for yourself". Sometimes the girl just can't say no due to bad wiring in her brain, or how she was brought up. Perhaps the OP's g/f is incapable of telling another guy no with words. At least it sounds like she's capable of ignoring them, which is great, but she might need some coaching to actually verbalize the NO part.

Wrong... Touching people - and making sixual remarks like "touch my dike" are both sixual harassment.
