If this is happening in school or school related you tell a teacher or principal about it. If the harassment is sexual in nature it may also involve the schools police resource officer.
Harassment in general and sexual harassment is a zero tolerance item in today's schools as it is a form of bullying. Bullying is also a zero tolerance item. You have a right to attend school without being harassed, hazed or bullied.
You also need to inform your parents so that they can make sure you are properly protected from your harasser. Some forms of harassment the schools or parents just are not capable of handling properly. That is where the police come in.
It may sound scary that the person who is harassing you could be arrested. Understand that society has rules. While whoever is harassing may think he or she is just having fun at your expense, they may also be breaking the law. They may even know what they are doing is unlawful but reason they are under age and will get away with it. Unfortunately for them it is no longer true. But that is not your concern. Your concern is for your own safety and piece of mind.
Tell your parents today. Then if this is a school issue, you and your parents can inform the school authorities tomorrow. However this ends up being handled you are not at fault for anything that happens to him, her or them or has happened to you. They, them, him or her are responsible unto himself or themselves and will have to learn there are consequences for their actions.
You like they have rights. Your rights to live peacefully trumps the rights of anyone that violates your rights and breaks the law in doing so. I say this to you so you do not hesitate any longer in reporting whoever is harassing you. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
