Creepy Boy: School says: "deal with your own problems" so I can't tell them. What do I do?
Question Posted Thursday December 13 2012, 8:32 pm
Okay, I am a girl in 8th grade, 14 years old. My friend heard this boy telling his friend that he liked me. I dont really like him that way but before i found out he told my friend to leave him alone because he already "had someone." he said this while staring at me. He was dating another good friend of mine and dumped her cause she had a flat chest. He is seated close to me in all of my classes and just today my friend found a picture of a girl without any clothes on and it said printed by; and his name. He also got my friend alone in a room and starting proposing gross stuff at her.(before all this) He is always staring at me and its creeping me out. And I can't tell the principal because they say "deal with your own problems."
What should I do?! I would really appriceate any and all advice on this, and I am so sorry it's so long!

Harassment of any type is a form of bullying which is very much on the radar of all school administrators. You may not be explaining yourself properly to your principal. You and your friend should talk with your parents and have them talk to the school administrators. I'm sure they will take your parents concerns more seriously.
As for the nude picture in his possession. If the person in the picture is under 18 then he is in possession of child pornography. If he has given this picture to anyone then he is a distributor of child pornography just as is the person who sent the picture to him and the person who took the picture. Regardless of his age these are illegal acts punishable in a court of law.
If he is showing this picture at school then the principal or the school Police resource officer, if you have one, should be made aware of this.
This boy should not possess this type of picture. He should not be showing it or flashing it at anyone who may not want to look at it as it is then sexual harassment. More importantly pornography in general is not acceptable school material. This is something the school principal is required to stop and take appropriate action.

Anyone who has photos of a minor nude or partly nude is in possession of child pornography.
Also, I would let your friends parents become aware of what is going on. Let them know you tried reporting the issue to the school and they did nothing to resolve the issue. Sit down and express your concerns to your friend about how it is best to stay away from him as he is looking at some serious trouble.
