[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to empower her. I was a shy people pleaser and I can't tell you how angry I get now when I remember how badly I was harassed as a teen and a young woman. A man literally came into the store where I was working and said, "I want to smell your p---y" and all I could do was stand there, stunned.

She needs to know that she does not need to talk to anyone, answer any questions, and can tell anyone who is harassing her to f-ck off. Teach her to call the cops, alert security, or tell a manager, whoever, if she is being harassed.

I would not tell her to lie because that only encourages some men who are delighted to have started a conversation. Have her practice saying, No, politely but firmly.[/quote]

I agree with this but this child needs to be ready for the response, which will almost universally be something like... "fucking bitch, I was paying you a compliment!"  or something along those lines.

Some ideas at this link.  I might have her have her cell phone handy and say firmly "leave me alone or I am calling the police."  Again, be ready for the "fucking bitch, I was just being nice!" response as they storm off.
