I've seen people on the internet talk a lot about this subject, and I agree. It's not good that a lot of people think that they can do anything to another person, so they commit inappropriate actions that impact the target's mental health in several ways, best described as pedophilia or sexual harassment, but usually I see these terms referring majorly directed to adults, which is true since the majority of cases is being committed by an adult. But what I wanted to talk about, is that minors can do this too, as I've witnessed and experienced this myself.
No, not at that extreme point to lose my virginity, luckily, it's just sexual harassment.
When I started ESO for the first time, I've wanted to socialize with the people here with no intention to get with someone, and I've never expected that the dudes and gals I would socialize with, were outright okay with this. I've been followed, cat called, and caressed by the dudes for like years, even nowadays, and in first of eso I was literally getting pulled by a dude while another morrocan girl was helping me get away while I was kicking him off. And the fact that the majority of girls and dudes think that this is okay is making me feel disgusted. The majority of my class even see me trying to get away from two dudes in my class that treat me like an animal and just pass it off.
Even one day when the substitute teacher put on a video about teaching how to revive a person, and the woman teacher was helping the unconscious man, the first thing some of the dudes thought is to sexualize this. Plus, even one dude that sits in front of me keeps pissing me off by caressing me and calling me a 'good girl' and I have to literally hit him every time to get him away from me. He also speaks that he also has a fetish for Shizuka, the girl student from Doraemon, since he keeps telling me 'the smaller, the better' and he and another dude even watched the inappropriate type of videos in class and showing me when the teacher isn't there. I've talked to this to my tutor, the tutor threatened him, and he didn't even care. I've tried every possible way to stop this with reasoning, threatening, even resorting to defensive violence, and it doesn't work. They even did even more than that, and I hate this, as luckily summer is coming and I won't have to deal with this, so I'm keeping a level headed manner, for now.
I'm calling out examples like this to show, because when people reach a certain age to know what consequences mean and what's right or wrong, they also have to know that their actions also have consequences, and they cannot be marked as 'oh they're just a child', 'that's just the hormones doing this', or even 'it's just a joke', which is the one they keep saying themselves. This is bad. This is wrong to do. And don't even think of doing this because I'm sure it'll get you into trouble. And if this happens to you too as a teen, don't be quiet, speak up and defend yourself.
To at least solve this problem, if you're a victim, report the ones who do anything bad to you, or someone else, and try to speak up about it when you get the chance. Reach out to your family, your teacher, man, even some adult who you know is an open minded person. And if you're one of those people who do this, get yourself a psychologist or at least make yourself a better person, get to the path of redemption, because you're not sane. You're being disgusting. And if you have a little brother or sister, or have a child to raise, when they reach that certain age, speak to them about it, and what should they do or not, also assure them that they speak about it if it happens to them, as that's what I'm trying to do with my little brother.
I apologize if my call out has errors, I'm trying to keep things as equal as possible. Please inform me if I've wronged or mistaken something.
Thank you for reading this, and I apologize for wasting your time.
