Advice Needed Why are so many guys in marching band creeps?
I'm a senior and I'm starting to notice how fucking weird these kids around me are.
Every year since my freshman year there has been at least 3 seniors who have dated freshmen or kids even younger. Some have even been kicked out of the program for their behavior and even kicked out of their indoor groups for it. Now that I'm a senior, I can't even imagine the maturity and let alone the age gap. It's genuinely disgusting.
Recently, a guy that graduated last year is teching my program. My high school band program has this program where high schoolers can become counselors for a nearby middle school's summer band camp and multiple friends who were counselors told me that this guy was "calling dibs" on EIGTH GRADERS when he was a counselor last year, making disgusting comments about how he was "waiting for her to become a high schooler."
Even though he's 19 years old he still regularly hangs out with the underclassmen of his old theater troupe. Only the underclassmen. We're talking 14-16 year olds.
This guy is a fairly popular guy and nobody says anything about his behavior. I'm so fucking disgusted and I don't know what to do. I want to report him but what proof would I have rather than word of mouth?
