[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women always talk about being harassed on the street, cat-calling, etc. That has never happened to me. I am ugly. But I have a pretty 13 yr old who is now going places on her own around town, and sometimes she is harassed. I am not really sure what to tell her. Yesterday she was meeting me at work and told me a man followed her for two blocks. I suggested maybe he was just going in the same direction, since they were on a major street many people travel on.

What do I tell her? Ignore? Call them out? Call the police? One time she told me that a man kept trying to flirt with her so she finally told him she was a lesbian so he'd leave her alone. Was this a good idea since it worked, even though she lied? I just have zero experience in this area. [/quote]

First you need to tell her that in trying to soothe her, you lied about the guy following her. She isn't crazy - he WAS following her, and she needs to know her instinct was correct. Also, tell her not to tell people she is a lesbian - unfortunately, there are some crazies out there that will take this as a challenge. I would get her into some type of martial arts/self defense classes.  Also, don't teach her to give out the wrong number. Teach her to give out her number and then block - these days, crazy ass people wil immediately call the number to see if it is correct. You basically need to teach her what she needs to do to get home safely.[/quote]
