I am 18yr old girl in my second year college.i was a victim of child marriage 4 years ago.my husband died in a road accident 2 years ago.but i have tried to be normal after that and happy with good friends until last month.my professors(3 of them) have started to misbehave badly to me passing objectionable comments.one of them even proposed me and said he was in deep love with me.i even went to the extent of complaining to the principal who warned all 3 of them severely.neither the pricipal nor the professors know about my past life till now.in between all this,i fell in love with my batchmate who refused my love for sure.my love is very well known to those professors too.
now im in my home town for my 6 months training.a week back i recieved a call from mr.x(one of those professors) who had proposed me and asked if i was a widow.i was shocked for a moment as to how he came to know about it but finally had to accept.after that his approach has totally changed.he says that my love was just a lie to avoid him,that i was flirt and he started to link several of my senoir boys with me..this made me burst with anger and i scolded him for having abused me and hung up the phone.later he started msging me using very bad language....
im really hurt and depressed about all that had happened.the worst thing is this particular professor will be handling my subjects when i return to college after six months.so im afraid if he will be a threat to my career in case i proceed with any further actions..my parents are not aware of any of these incidents..

I suposed you could threaten them with harrassment charges, since you could be graded badly in class for shunning these jerks. I would also tell your parents. They may be of help to you here. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

I go public with it, by getting the media involved you can take them to court for sexual harassment, by going public you will gain the favor of the public and of the jury. If you truely want it all to stop take them to court for doing it and sue the school for allowing it. That is all i can think to do.

girdy_goo15 answered Friday May 13 2005, 7:45 am: im really sorry to hear that. well first of all tell your parents. then i would go to the police and file a harrassement suit on them. and also don't be worried about your career. if he doesn't allow you the equal opportunity or gives you the wrong marks that's illegal and it's very poor on him. so you don't need to be afraid or anything but you can't let them get away with it. so i wish you luck. and if there is anything i can do just leave me a message or email me directly.

You have enough going on and college itself, and this professor needs to leave you the hell alone. What he is doing is illegal, and it is not allowed. Please speak to the head of your college again, and give him as much proof as you can. Proceed to inform police if you must, because this is an invasion of privacy and personal space, its abuse too, and tell your parents. Something WILL come out of that. This guy shouldn't be allowed to teach! Don't let him do this to you, because no one deserves this kind of thing. If you dont take action, you are putting yourself at risk of many things...please do something for yourself. Good luck, let me know how it goes!
