Did you know that 4 out of 5 children in the grades K-12th grade have been sexual harassed? Also 8 out of 10 people will be harassed thought their lives.
What is sexual harassment? Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual behavior that interferes with your life and rights to get and education. Sexual harassment can affect every 4 out of 5 people between their loves and to me that’s a lot. Sexual harassment is also a form of violation of your rights. Many people think that just a look can be sexual harassment but what people think is sexual harassment is really not. Like the physical sexual harassment which includes purposely bumping, or hurting someone because of their sexual gender, standing in someone’s way to class or stalking. there’s also verbal harassment includes pestering for dates, making g a comment about someone’s body parts, spreading sexual rumors about someone, using insults, threats, or sexual jokes. In sexual harassment you’ll see that it affects a lot of people in the world not just kid’s adults to.
Why do people get sexual harassed is what your probably wondering well after reading some research I found out that most people get sexually harassed because of where they come from and maybe even sex discrimination. Sexual harassment has been a problem for years   kids between the ages of 5-17 because the harassers that are doing it do it because they wana hurt someone’s feeling to make themselves feel better. Sexual harassment has been around since the year 1977 that’s when courts finally recognized such behavior such as sexual harassment and sexual discrimination.
