[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cautionary tale. Straight from today's headlines:

"Ignore it and hope he gets bored and moves on to someone else" is not a strategy.

[b]We need to teach our daughters that "no" means no. [/b] They need to state their boundaries and desires clearly (as OP's daughter did), and If a boy or a man does not hear and respect their boundaries, it's time to escalate until they change their behavior

Harassment only gets worse unless women address it directly and aggressively. Help your daughter take this up with the school - a counselor or the assistant principal or principal.

She told him no, and he will not let it go. Time to involve others. Sooner rather than later. [/quote]

We need to teach everyone that no means no. It's good for people who are being harassed to know what to do. But it's even better for people to not harass in the first place.[/quote]

I agree.  Several of the girls at my son's school are extremely aggressive and won't take no for an answer.  They have thrown themselves at my son and other boys, and send them lewd texts/snaps.  Even after being told, "I'm not interested," they keep it up.  After reading these posts, I'm realizing it's time to report them to the administration.  [/quote]
