Ok, so, I' in 8th grade, right. So, there's this sixth grader, who, nobody really likes. But in band, I'm his section leader. I have to treat him as fairly as possible, considering he listens to nothing I say, and he's a complete pervert. But we were doing juries (musical Auditions sort of things) and We hada movie on while people were doing their juries. And I went to sit with my friends on the floor. I turned around real quickly after some of my friends behing told me i needed to turn around, and there was Albert (Annoying kid everyone hates,) and he was STARRING down my pants.
Now I figured, hey, If something more happens, I'll talk to Mr. Ferrario about it. And I agreed on that. But then I realized that I said the same thing to myself a couple weeks ago when he kept rubbing up againest me.
I feel totally invaded, and I hate how I feel like the dirty one, but i didn't do anything.
Do you consider this sexual harrassment and should I turn him in to Mr. Ferrario.

drop a dime on the little perv.
you don't need to be putting up with that stuff.
Talk to Mr Ferrario...get this thing cleared up.
The school year just started...got a long way to go.
Your not doing anything about this is emboldening the guy.
And the longer you wait...the worse it is gonna get.
I consider it to be more than sexual harrasment.
I would call it verging on sexual assault.

Do You Consider this Sexual Harassment!?!! What Do I Do Aout It!?!!?
No, he is infatuated with you. You are his leader, he looks up to you.
“Ok, so, I' in 8th grade, right. So, there's this sixth grader, who, nobody really likes.”
Oh good God! You are the older take charge ! Sexual Harassment?? Bovine feces.
Sexual Harassment? Sure if you want to make a big deal of it all.
Again, you are the older, take charge and set things right.
Who knows, 30 years from now you might marry the guy.

I am sorry, but the person who said it has to be physical contact is WRONG! Sexual Harassment is any form of demeaning acts or talks that one person conveys to another. When my daughter was in 6th grade she had an individual constantly touch her rear, and throw paper balls at her when she ignored him....She finally told me about it, and I went and talked to the counselor and the principal... the school had a very strict sexual harassment policy and actually gave him in school suspension and removed him from all of the classes him and my daughter had together, and since my daughter was not the only one he had been doing this to, they never even told him who "told" on him. Shortly thereafter the school held a sexual harrassment assembly and passed out flyers to all the students on what to do in different situations. So I sugest telling your teacher or making an appointment with the counselor at your school and speaking to them about it... or even tell your parents, maybe they would talk to someone for you... it is nothing to be embarrassed about.. he needs to be stopped and told how wrong his actions are! Good Luck!

The rubbing against you is not just sexual harrassment, but sexual assault.
First, tell your parents about it.
Next, bring the issue up to your band teacher, Mr. Ferrario.
If he does nothing, speak with your dean of students.
If he does nothing schedule an appointment with the principal, and bring your parents.
This kind of thing can only get worse, if it is not stopped.

rubbing up against you = absolutely report it!
also, sexual harrassment does NOT require physical contact. somebody making obscene comments/gestures, unwelcome advances, etc. qualifies if it is making you uncomfortable. sexual harrassment in the workplace is defined in federal law as follows: "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment."
report the next incident to the band director (or school counselor) and let him/her know that he is making you very uncomfortable. school faculty may not consider it "sexual harrassment," but it is certainly intolerable behavior that should be dealt with.

As far as looking...invaded yes, sexual harassment probably not. You could turn him in but what would really be an appropriate disciplinary action; telling him to use blinders? Guys are guys and they are going to look. Some are more invasive than others, most are not creepy like that.
Now rubbing is entirely different. Talk to someone at least.

Yes, you should report the pervert. Also, write down all incidences along with the dates. Constantly tell on the pervert. That way when you finally get sick of it and land a fist between his eyes you can threaten the school with a lawsuit if they try to suspend you.

You seem to have deep rooted issues about your own sexuality I suggest therapy as you sound a very messed up deluded individual. Since when is looking at a women sexual harassment you are very ill indeed. PS I have a law degree and think some people are deliberately lying to you to gain 10 points tho if he really does touch you up the matter needs to be dealt with but to me you seem a silly girl who doesn`t like a boy you don`t like fancying you

Sexual harassment does not have to include physical contact. You are being harassed, and you need to turn him in! What's happening to you is legally considered sexual harassment because you did not invite it, and you feel like you were invaded.

any guy giving the chance to look down or up a girls pants is gonna look, it is a fact of life
if you don't want people trying to peak ware less reviling clothes
sounds like the annoying kid is the victim here ,I would be annoying to if nobody liked me
and now your looking for reasons to complain to who ever that he is harassing you
have some balls and talk to him yourself and tell him the actions you are going to have to take if he doesn't stop making you feel uncountable
