Mary, your friend needs to make the complaint - not you. Offer to go with her for moral support. This boy is testing the water, and will become more and more bold, and may even test sexual assault. You friend needs to report this before someone you know is injured by this boy who doesn't know any manners.

The counselor is the best choice. Perhaps they could control the issue a little better because they are not directly involved. The teacher would have to do something about this and it may not be good for everyone concerned.
It also depends upon what this boy did. There is a long way from just joking around to true sexual harassment. And your friend needs to understand that sexual harassment is treated very seriously now....at any age.
Talk to your friend. Tell her that you are always there for her to talk with and you will not do anything she doesn't want to do.
Tell her also that if it happens again this kid that is just joking around needs to be set straight. Make sure she can prove in some way what she is charging. Pay attention of who is around when he does that. Then the school can ask more than just her about what happened.
This boy only thinks this is for fun. He will more than likely do it to her or someone else again. Helps her out but don't do it behind her back.

If he did it just one time let it go, but if it happens all the time tell the kid your gonna tell , and if he still doesn't stop then tell the counselor,
his harrassment of her affects you too, you are a student in this school and class, and need to feel safe,
so do it for you not just for her.

go straight to the princible or if you don't feel comfortable then tell your mom. if you don't want to tell your mom, then tell a teacher that you trust. even if your friend wants you to tell a certain teacher it doesn't matter! she is being sexually harrased and any athorative figure will do. JUST TELL SOMEONE!your friend shouldn't put up with something like that.

These answers are too funny...
Hello...That's what kids do. They pick on eachother.
If the guy doesn't stop by telling him, ONLY THEN do you take it to the next level. Go tell a teacher or counselor.

Your friend has the problem, is that right? She needs to solve her own problem because if you try to solve it she will not benefit from it. She will just have to keep on dealing with people treating her as though she has no worth and possibly marry a person who believes she has no worth. If she has to find her own solution, she will believe that she has worth. As her friend, you could help her with that by affirming that a girl is worth a lot more than how the other 8th grader is treating her. It is her problem. You have your own set of problems that you need to resolve. If your friend doesn't want to resolve her problem, then it will just reappear in a different circuimstance at another time, and so on,
and so on.
Girls have worth as well as boys. Unfortunately, in this world this is not always recognized. The 8th grader you spoke of may be feeling as though he has no worth and is just passing that feeling to a girl. People often try to use money as a measure of worth, but money cannot solve this type of problem. God can. He provided baptism as a way of making people worthy of eternal life. In baptism, people are made one with Jesus and share his worth. Also in baptism, people are baptized into his death in the tomb, so they are dead to the law and dead to sin. This is spiritual because it cannot be seen; it has to be believed. If a person believes he or she is made perfect in Christ and needs help in this world, God will hear. And if a person knows God hears, he knows God will help.

It is sexual harassment to everyone who is made to feel uncomfortable by the situation. Even if the comments are not directed to you. If you are offended then tell.
If you did not hear them directly then you need to tell your friend to go to the counselor.

If your friend was wanting to commit suicide, do you think you would need their permission? OF course not. If you believe your friend needs help even though she doesn't want you to tell and it's in her best interest. Then tell. And just how serious was this sexual harassment as well?

SHE NEEDS TO TELL SOMEONE. If she doens't, don't be afraid to tell the principal or a teacher YOURSELF. You won't get in trouble and your friend won't get in trouble either, but an ADULT needs to help make this stop.
if i were you, I would just tell a teacher and not wait for your friend's permission.

Sexual harassment isn't something to joke about. Dozens of ppl are being put on trial for it and you might see their lawyers getting up and saying "Your honor, my client was just kidding," and you never see the judge then say, "oh, well in that case, the defendant is innocent!"
TELL SOMEONE FOR HER IF SHE WON'T TELL!!
