I've learned to trivialize the experience as a way of dealing with it, but you've shown me that that's not the answer and no event that affects a person this much is trivial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17761983.post-1139759478762456682006-02-12T10:51:00.000-05:002006-02-12T10:51:00.000-05:00thank you for sharing this. goddamn. keep telling....thank you for sharing this. goddamn. keep telling. this is so important, because this stuff happens every single day and it's just accepted as something girls (mostly) just have to tolerate. it's gotta stop- and telling stories, and encourage,like Josh does in his comments, other people to report it is a step in the right direction.<BR/><BR/> i hope you feel lighter.<BR/><BR/>(found you through your comment at Twisty's)alley rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287292852518991317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17761983.post-1139606903713803732006-02-10T16:28:00.000-05:002006-02-10T16:28:00.000-05:00(had not trickled down, i mean!)(had not trickled down, i mean!)Joolyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235093955722303192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17761983.post-1139606879427421312006-02-10T16:27:00.000-05:002006-02-10T16:27:00.000-05:00Wow. That's awful.When I was in middle school "sex...Wow. That's awful.<BR/>When I was in middle school "sexual harassment" as a term had trickled down to our school, but in practice it certainly had. On the school bus, there were usually three girls who sat in the back and about a dozen boys, who would climb in our seats, grab at our bodies and clothes, and make threatening lascivious comments throughout. One time one boy punched me in the arm. It was horrific - but at other times of the day some of these same boys were friendly and fun and nice. And no one ever got in trouble, and no one ever "told", and eventually we all went to high school and got (seriously) much more civilized. Forgotten, mostly. But how fucked up.Joolyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235093955722303192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17761983.post-1139605021615825022006-02-10T15:57:00.000-05:002006-02-10T15:57:00.000-05:00Don't ever stop telling.Don't ever stop telling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17761983.post-1139120502052631082006-02-05T01:21:00.000-05:002006-02-05T01:21:00.000-05:00sassy:your remembrance is beyond comment.but i hop...sassy:<BR/><BR/>your remembrance is beyond comment.<BR/><BR/>but i hope the people who can make a difference are reading.<BR/><BR/>students: if this happens to you, you need to report this. this is <B>not okay</B>. you need to report this to someone. find an adult you trust. being male (albeit a friendly and empathetic male), i find it difficult to push that upon you, but i can't stress enough how wrong this is.<BR/><BR/>principals and teachers: this kind of thing is happening in your school. whether there are 250 students or 2500 (in a building built for 1600?), some students are suffering unnecessarily. i understand you have a job to do to enforce discipline and help children learn, but you also have a responsibility to be a person your students can trust in times of need. that's a big burden and our society does not value educators the way it should, but when things like this are going on in your school, you need to be of assistance to your students. no one else will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
