I want to offer support to anyone who has dealt with or is currently dealing with sexual harassment from a teacher. I have been through it and I know how hard it is.I didn't want to tell the school about it because I knew my teacher would be fired, and I knew that also meant his daughter would not be able to attend our school anymore, and I was affraid that people would find out and blame me for it. It was a scary time for me. I was always affraid to be alone with him, knowing he would take advantage of any opportunity to talk to me about sex and ask me for favors. I sometimes felt like I had no one to turn to for help. If anyone here wants to talk about sexual harassment , whether it is happening to you,or a sibling , or a friend I'm here. I'm glad that the harassment is over for me , but I know that so many other people are still dealing with it, so I'm here if anyone needs advice about what to do, wants to find out steps to take against someone who is sexually harassing you, or just wants to talk.You don't have to be a victim of harassment to ask me any questions you might have about it, I'm open to discussing it with anyone who wants to know about coping with and protecting themselves from harassment.To everybody who has been a victim of sexual harassment of any kind, remember it is not your fault.
Compassion is a sign of strength
