[quote=Anonymous]I graduated my prep school in 2001, so this is probably ridiculous to even consider, but I would honestly like to sue them!  I was pretty majorly sexually harassed by older male students starting in 8th grade.  When I walked past the cafeteria, they would bang on the windows.  My 8th grade “boyfriend” had his home vandalized.  A Junior was suspended from playing football because he was heard (not by me) making such violent, sexual comments about me.  We lost a championship, perhaps due to his absence, and I was harshly blamed for it.
In 9th grade, the older girls were, obviously, merciless and I dreaded classes ending because I’d have to walk in the hall with them.  When I attended a formal that year, I was yelled at, drinks were thrown at me, etc. by older girls.  The school then made a rule that freshmen were not allowed to attend formals, which was known as the “my name rule”.  
I attended this school from Kindergarten until graduating 12th grade, and I’m now really upset that I wasn’t protected.  I’m sure that’s crazy.  But I was a straight A student until 9th grade (when the stress really got to me and my eyelashes fell out for the first time).  I still made good grades, took AP’s and attended a good college.  But it really changed who I was and I still often feel like ‘prey’.  I am totally in therapy and just feeling anger for the first time ever, so I am working on it.
But how ridiculous would it be to attempt to sue my former private?

Sorry this was so long and I am almost positive that it’s a silly idea!  But I guess maybe I just wanted to vent (about experiences from 20 years ago!) so thanks for reading / letting me vent.[/quote]
