This guy totally annoys me. I told him my mom filed a police report and she is going to press charges on him because he "sexually harasses" me. He seems to get thrilled by annoying people. He knew i hated him and I even made a whole new email address to get away from him and he got that new email address. I told him not to call me "sweetie" and he still did and i told him to leave me alone and he acted like nothing was wrong when i threatend to report him to the cops i said "i hate you" multiple times and he'd say "i love you" and stuff. Do you consider this sexual harassment?? and is this important enough to tell my mom about, and should she take this to the police?? He is in 10th grade and he lives in newjersey, i am in 8th grade and i live on the other side of the country. what can the police do about this? He is very smart with computers and he deleted my email address and yahoo account to hide the "proof" that he "sexually harasses" me.
Do you consider this sexual harassment?

This is why you need to be really careful about what kind of information you give out onthe internet. But, now you can report it to the police. It is not sexual harrassment but it is harrassment. Report it as soon as possible and be careful!

It would be difficult to make a case for legitimate harrassment since you're too far away from each other geographically for you to reasonably feel threatened....and nothing you've described here that he said qualifies as threatening language, anyway. It is a good idea to tell your mother about this so that she can monitor things a bit more closely. Good luck, and Happy New Year.

It's harassment, but considering it's never been in person (and unless he's sent you sexual pics) I wouldn't considering it sexual harassment. I don't know if the police can do much. I would google Internet stalking and see what you come up with. The fact that he has tampered with with your personal accounts may carry some weight.

U most definetely need to let your mom know that there is someone online harrssing you. You should cut off all contact with him too. I would stop "threatening" him with the cops unless you're going to do something like that for real...he probably just gets a big kick out of it and makes him want to do it more.
Bring your parents into the situation. Out of everything they need to know...just b/c his profile says he's in 10th grade who's to say he's not some twisted pervert that likes acting like this to young girls...good luck and be safe...
try to keep your distance as much as possible and print out anything and everything that he sends you..thta way you can start building a folder of evidence against him. Good luck!

it sure sounds like a type of harassment to me and i think you should tell your mom everything you do online since you are a minor. some guys are very creepy but i'm pretty sure that the cops can do something. Yahoo has a "report user" page try and do that and yahoo will do something. But make sure your mom knows about this guy harassing you it is still a crime.

Yes. It sounds like harassment. It's probably possible to get a restraining order against him.
Check with a lawyer or there are also many women's rights's groups that offer help in getting restraining orders. If he violates the order then he goes to jail.
Try searching under Battered Women. Use the phone book, too. A lot of these groups are sympathetic and can put you in touch with groups that may be able to help you at little or no charge.

what he is doing is not considered sexual harrassment it is considered Stalking and Cyberbullying. YES ABSOLUTELY tell your parents, and YES, contact the authorities AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Don't let him know either that you have done either. EVERY e-mail/IM/post/blog/etc. he sends you.....PRINT it (it will have a time date stamp). The authorities will have the ability to track him down so....deleting the account won't hide it. and I guarantee, the government internet PROFESSIONALS are smarter than this BOY in High School
Also, to "big_mustache" sexual harrassment does not just happen "at work". The authorities consider it to be sexual harrassment REGARDLESS of where it takes place, at work, at school, at the grocery store, in e-mail, etc.
Here's the wikipedia definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_harassment
If you are going to be giving advice......get it right.

How old are you? You seem very young.
This is not sexual harrassment, and your Mom is wrong for entertaining false accusations.
This boy is teasing you, and it seems like you keep going back for more or he would not have continued.
Simply block his address and your problem is solved.

I consider it cyberbullying. How can he cancel your accounts? Are you giving him your password? If this is all online, and not in person, just change your accounts and make a strong password, and be done with him!
