[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm wondering how many of the posters that are defending the boys would think it's okay if this young lady was African American and every time she walked by, the boys made the sounds of another animal?

Let me tell you, people would be Screaming if that was the case.

Also let me tell you- this is no different. A woman is at work to work. Not to be bullied, harassed, or assessed for her weight if she can do the job.

Race, gender, disability.. Workplace harassment is workplace harassment. It's not "boys will be boys" or "she shouldn't be in a bathing suit". Or "it's a teenage thing". These boys are paid to represent their employer, both in the public eye and to the coworker (female teen). Their deportment is not conducive to a positive or safe work environment. [b]It may come to the fact that this group may need to work together to save a life. If there is ANY hesitation for this young girl because of how she's been treated - then at can be a second that matters.[/b] [/quote]

You are so right with everything you said here, but especially the bolded part. Why on earth would anyone be okay with how these boys are treating their coworker and suggest that OP's daughter shrug it off?

When I was in my early twenties I worked in a restaurant and there was another girl that would harass me to my face, but also talk about me behind my back and it made me dread going to work. And I was only working at a restaurant. Not in a position to save anybody's life, just running food & drink refills.[/quote]
