Did you complain about the sexual harrassment? That would be the first step. I know that there's a stigma about it because you're male, but it's really important that you report it. You're probably not the first person this other person has harrassed.
As for looking for a new job, look for other similiar jobs in your area at grocery stores/drugstores/restaurants. There are lots of part-time job opportunities for young, healthy teens.
Good luck in your search.

You could always look for a job doing the same line of work just at a new place (Eckerds?). Maybe you could just transfer to a different CVS. You really should report the sexual harrasment... I've been there b4 and even if things don't turn out like you hoped from it... you will always know that you stood up for yourself. Plus you might be standing up for someone else too. It might not be just you. I'm sure you are talented to do many dif things. Try taking some career tests online. You can find some free one. You usually don't get the whole test results free but you'll get part of it. If you are looking for a whole new line of work... try stocking in a grocery store or something. Good Luck!

If you are a victim of sexual harassment, (yes, it can and does happen to men as well as women), you need to march straight to your local Department of Fair Employment and Housing and file a complaint. Sexual harassment is against the law, and the person who is doing it needs to be stopped or they will just do it to the next 17 year old employee who works there.
Please don't be embarrassed if this happened to you - it is unfortunately much more common than you might think. There is nothing you can tell the folks at the DFEH that they haven't already heard, believe me.
Part of being an adult means directly confronting people who try to hurt you. Be strong, stand up for yourself, and put the creep out of commission.
Best of luck.....

Sexual harassment, to a guy, at CVS...wow. You have your whole life ahead of you, you could get a job anywhere...just avoid stores where retirees are making some spending money. But seriously, you don't really need advice, you need the classified section of a newspaper, its not much harder than that.

CVS is a huge company. There's always someone higher than whoever's doing the harassing. Report it.

CVS is a large company, did you report the sexual harrasment? They probably have a no tolerance policy, and would fire the offender. I bet Walgreens or RiteAid would take you in heartbeat.

Call the Human Resources department at CVS and report that you have been harrassed. This is illegal and you can defintely get relief. You will also be helping any other workers who could be harrassed by your abuser.

Yeah, anywhere else sounds better, especially somewhere with a strict sexual harassment policy...maybe a larger chain like wal-mart? Someone that is terrified of getting sued, and will prevent sexual harassment at all costs. Good Luck!

Yeah, start by suing your ex employer, unless it was you who did the harrasment.

Try removing caps lock. That's a good place to start.
