Watch Out! the Sexual Harrasser is by Your Side

(OPEN)

It is not easy to be a woman. When we face the robbery, we are worried about they will rob our wallet, and at the same time, we still have to worry that they will rob our beauty. Just like me, a woman with beauty and wisdom in one, these fears bother me a lot. Don’t laugh, because from now on, I will tell you two events that truly happen to me.

(Body)

As I remembered, the first sexual harassment happened when I was a third grade elementary school student. One day, one of my classmates and I were playing ‘Chai-Chai-Choe’, then a water electrician came toward us and said “Cute girls, there were two water taps broken and I have to fix it, could you helped me?”. At that time, we just thought of what teacher taught-Help is the joyful foundation, so we said yes and follow the water electrician to the washbasin. When we arrived there, two water taps were spraying all over the place, so he told us to hold the tap tightly and don’ t let the water come out. We did not hold the tap tightly, and then he started stand behind my classmate and used his big hands to hold my classmate hands and said “ You are not holding tight enough, if the water keep spraying out, then I can’t fix it”. I felt strange so when he came to me, I hold it very tight and not let him had the chance to hold my hands. He just kept holding our hands and did nothing about fix the taps, then the bell rang, I grabbed my classmate’s hand quickly and ran away from him. Because I notice that something down there was growing big, so I think he is not a real water electrician.

Second time happened when I was studied in St. Dowming Senior high school. In that period of time, girl’s boobs grew, especially some girls they were well developed. This would attract the high school boys. I remembered one day when I was riding my bike home, there was a high school boy rode his bike quickly passed by my side. But do you know when he passed by me, his hand was touching my boobs and grab them? It happened so fast that I couldn’t react immediately. I even didn’t shout out at that time, so I just let him disappeared in front of my eyes. Now, you know how difficult to be a woman. Female has many parts, such as boobs, butt, and even our ponytail can attract sexual harasser. Therefore, you have to watch out, they might come to you.

(Conclusion)

According to my experiences, I will point out three main points you have to pay attention. First, when you face the sexual harasser, you have to shout out with long and loud voice like “Fire alarm” to replace “Save my life” because fire alarm could attract more people. Second, use your high heel shoes or anti-spray to attack him. Third, leave that place as soon as possible. If you can cool down and not scare to fight with the sexual harasser, and you can let other people know you are having sexual harassment at the first time, I believe even you can’t stop it happens, but you can protect yourself. So be brave then you can face it without fears.
