This happened to me but it was my brother in law who sexually abused me. I know its hard to tell someone but you need to tell a adult you trust weather its your parents,teacher,prefect,principal,neighbour,aunt or uncle pretty much anyone! This is a crime and you shouldn't feel uncomftable or scared of going to school I really hope you take this advice and tell someone I know its hard but you did the right thing of comming here.

Since I am old enough to be your grandfather I am going to give you some grandfatherly advice.
You MUST TELL YOUR PARENTS NOW, TODAY, BEFORE YOU RETURN TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY. They need to call the police and let the police handle this as it is a police matter. Michael is not only sexually harassing you. But by pulling you into the bath room he committed two addition crimes both of which are felonies.
The first is abduction (Kidnapping): He took you against your will someplace you did not want to go. That is the definition of abduction.
The second is Sexual Assault; When he put his hands down your panties he sexually assaulted you. You are 13 and under the age of consent in any state. Therefore he cannot say you consented to him doing so. Not only is this sexual assault but the police may tack on a charge of statutory rape, another felony.
He is also a bully but whether or not this is a crime would depend on the laws in your state. It would most certainly be against school policy or should be as this is something schools across the country have taken a zero tolerance policy on. Though of the three the bullying is the least of his crimes.
You have every right to go to school with out being bullied or sexually harassed or assaulted. It is not you worry or concern as to what the police or courts will do to Michael by making this a police matter.
By telling your parents and asking them to call the police you are not only protecting yourself but what ever other girl he may attach in the future or may have attacked in the past who were to scared to tell their parents.
You have done nothing wrong here and have nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. People like Michael count on you being a victim and being ashamed or to embarrassed to report him.
Even if he has threatened you. There is no way he can carry out his threat as he will not be in school he will be either in jail or under house arrest with a GPS monitoring devise on his ankle.
So please do not let him get away with this and tell your parent now.
The second is Sexual Assault: When he stuck his hands down your panties. That is sexual assault.

I think you need to tell your parents or one of your teachers. This is serious , you can't just not tell anyone because he told you not to. It could end up getting worse and worse and he could end up really hurting you. So just take my advice and tell an adult that you really trust. Everything will be fine.

You have to tell someone. That's the only way it will stop. You dont have to tell him infront of him but you NEED to tell someone. Do it fast before he does more to you that you will regret not stopping him sooner, For your own sake and for other girls' sake, please speak to someone!
