I was actually sexually harassed twice before I turned 16, and its very much a big deal. It can make you feel self-conscious and constantly on your guard. I speak from personal experience, sexual harassment isn't something thats to be considered just ... something.
It completely changed who I am, and made me very bitter towards people.
Sexual Harrasment is a queer subject. It should be taken seriously, but thanks to people who abuse it to get rich easily, just saying something jokingly with no crudeness at all is liable to get you a Lawsuit. There really is very little in the way of making such cases as fair as possible as those Bloody 'Rights Activists' just blow everything out of proportion and automatically take the side of the 'Victim'. Soon, Workplaces will become similar to Victorian schools where Males and Females will become segragated in fear of looking at someone the wrong way.
Now I'm not saying that Sexual Harrasment dosn't exist (far from it as I've got freind whos been subject to it) as in most cases, "theres no smoke without fire", but yet again, 'Rights Activists' have taken this way to far and it's now become nothing, but several shades of grey.
As for Sexual Harrasment against Men, they seem to have too much pride to say anything.
i belive it should be taking sereuslay cos i had a moment on the net with it i know what u mean on the net ?? what the but its tru it can happen anywere so i would take it serus TT__TT * thinking thos basterds hate them sooo much!!*
People do silly things everyday, sexual harassment is one of them. They teach you to take it serous. God knows what some people are thinking. Even bullying someone can get you ISS, or worst.Quote:

There is no big deal when a guys saying her wants to "beep" you, or feeling up on your leg, when you don't want it. lol.
^^; Anyway there noticing how many sexual abuser go unreported. -_- Its scary thinking about it!
Hmm.I don't think so because we all do it all the time now days.
Okay, after reading most of your replies I feel as though you are all gearing towards the "sexual harassment isn't all of that big of a deal" type thing. Yes, you guys agree that sexual harassment should be taken care of, but I feel as though you don't understand the importance of the matter.
Sexual harassment, if not taken care of, or if not taken serious, may turn into horrible, un ethical things such as rape, death, tormenting, etc. Yes, there are those gold diggers who use sexual harassment as only an image to get the money that they want, but in most cases it actually is sexual harassment.
Equinn, I totally understand what you are saying about the online. Sexual Harassment can actually take place online, as well as. It is a form of sexual harrasment. People can send you unwanted emails that have vulgar images or descriptions of what they'd like to do to you and whatnot. Or they could always try to "cyber" with you. Whatever the case, it is becoming common almost everywhere. I have experienced sexual harassment online as well, so please do not feel as though what you are saying is totally weird, because it isn't.
Also, Kat what you said about "guys feeling up on a woman's [or man's] leg, and saying that he wants to do something to another person" IS a serious matter. It is sexual harassment if the girl is uncomfortable with it.
Since april last year, I've been going through hell because i was sexual harrassed by my mums bf.
Inside i feel that I have no energy or enthusiasm. Lack of confidence, low self-esteem, depression.
Sexual harrassment is wrong. Pesonally it's one of the wrost things that can happen to a person. It changes that person completely inside and out.
Wow, sazza. That really sucks. And your mother knows nothing about this?
Well, whatever is going on in his head, you need to let him know that it is WRONG! What you are feeling is normal for those who go through sexual harassment. Talk to your mother. Try your hardest to fight against it.
This shouldn't continue to go on. You can do it, I know you can.
