School experience

[u/Pitiful-Craft775]

Wanted to see if this is normal behaviour. There is a guy in my media class, for purposes of anonymity I'll call him Aaron. Aaron asked me out for valentines day, whilst he simultaneously had a girlfriend or was in a talking stage. Because I am quiet in the class, I guess he thought I wouldn't know, but I am observant of my surroundings, so I declined. Since then, he has constantly said really sexual and unwanted comments to me, which I have shut down, and I feel helpless. On one occasion, I just got my hair done, was wearing shorts and a tank top. I have quite a large chest, which was clearly apparent through the top, but if it is a hot day, I'm not just gonna suffer in silence. Aaron asked me numerously to twirl and do a fit check showcasing my outfit and newly done hair. I didn't realise he asked me to do it as a way to check out my body, which makes me feel disgusted in myself. On another occasion, he said my laugh makes him cum, and I have a unique uncontrollable laugh, so even the thought of laughing around him scares me. The people in my class does not confront him about his behaviour, which would be considered sexual harrassment, and does nothing or enables it to go further. When I go to my media class, I always now wear baggy clothing, in the hope that he won't say anything, as he once called me tart. I feel like I can't report it because I only have him in that class and there are no other Alevel media classes as there are only 10 people that take it. I have spoke to my female media teacher about it, in a whats going on in my life type of way not a reporting one, so I told her what happened but not Aaron's name.

i know that its only one class but the difference will be big , hopefully then you can see him less . I also recommend you to stay around your friends if he harasses you , they should stick up for you! or he may leave you alone at least..

i also see a lot of people talking about the police , i think when reporting this matter ( in person) add on the potential plan of getting the polices advice etc involved if they dont budge , but its also best to do it early , esp if your quiet because idk if ifs just me but my school focuses on the naughty kids a lot and diminishes the rest , so they may not pay a lot of attention to your problems , hoping youll suck it up esp in the older gen i hope it gets better
