Unwanted Attention
I'm fifteen, female.
I get whistled at, hooted at from trucks, minorly harassed A LOT. It's harmless, and a little of it I have no problem with, but it gets annoying.
It's reeeeeeeally hot most of the time (I'm writing from Mexico, and I usually live in Southern California), so just covering up isn't an option, and it doesn't seem to help. I tried it one day when it was cool outside and got just as much unwanted attention as usual.
I've tried being a bit aggressive, but I don't know these people and most of the time they just laugh. Also, it doesn't stop it from happening the next time, which is all I really care about.
So, how can I stop guys from doing this? Is there anything I can wear that's nice and cool but utterly unflattering?

There is nothing you can easily do. I have found there is little pattern in what guys find 'honkworthy', so even wearing unflattering or heavy clothes doesn't deter some guys. I've been catcalled in my most unflattering outfits, including jogging bottoms reserved for cycling. In any case, why should you have to hide yourself away and be uncomfortable in the heat because of these guys? I'm sad to say it, because it's not something you should have to put up with, but unless something which is really offensive is actually said, it seems better to just hold your head high and ignore.

Cover yourself up a bit more..wear a long dress..or a long skirt with a baby-tee! boys will be boys and their gunna honk and say shit to you if your walking down the street..its just how they are! if it really offends you that much then dont walk down the street! lol! uH..if you want to walk..go to a gym and walk on the treadmill or walk down some less populated streets where the trafic isnt that heavy

so your complaining because you are too hot? i know girls that would kill for that kind of attention, but i guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. anyways you could make yourself ugly if you really want. chop off most of your hair, where a minimizer bra. loose shorts that dont show off your but. slouch when you walk. i dunno what else

If you really want something unflattering then jsut wear a lto fo really baggy clothes....
Also you can get sheer kinds of clothes and then jstu wear a tank top under them...
Surprsingly i get honked at a lot too when im walkin down teh byusy street that is right by me adn most of the time uim just goign to get my little brother from the babysitters house down teh street.
What i do is jsut put on a real light but baggy tee shirt and then either a pair of shorts or something... i also throw my hair up into a really messy ponytail and they usually dont honk... either that or i get one of my good guy friends to walk wiht me... if they see youw ith another guy they wont suaully do anyhting
Hope i helped!

Oh gosh, I know exactly how you feel, at first it's flattering, you know all the beeping and the yelling and everything, but then it gets to a point where you feel like you can't walk out your door without being harassed. The best thing you can do is ignore it, because no matter what you wear, they will still honk and holler. haha, true story, one time me and my friends had JUST rolled out of bed, messy hair, no make-up, pajamas, and we were walking my friend home. A van full of guys pulls up and starts hitting on us, asking for numbers and screen names and such. I couldn't believe it, especially because of how discusting and horrible we looked. Hahahah, the point is, just stay cool and keep walking. If anyone harasses you to the point where you feel your life is threatened, use a near-by phone or cellular to call someone who can help you.
I hope i helped =)
