It's beginning to look a lot like... PERVS.

I'm only 14, and I get harassed every single day. I don't dress a certain way at all, or anything, and I look my age, so why are older men so gross? Ugh. I was walking with one of my friends, when we pass this weird looking guy, who was handing out flyers. He had to be like, in his late 20's. My friend and I are 14 and 16. We ignored him, and kept walking, since we didn't want any stupid flyer, but he FOLLOWS us, and keeps poking me in the shoulder with the papers he's handing out. Then he grabs my friend's shoulder to try and stop her, and she quickly jerked away. I wasn't really thinking, so I tried to take one of the flyers so he would go away, but when I grabbed the paper, he didn't let go, instead he tried to grab my arm and pull me toward him. My friend didn't know I was behind, so she kept walking. I was so terrified, frozen, and he wouldn't let go of me! Finally I pulled away, and caught up with my friend, and I told her what happened, and she was shocked, and said she had no clue and that she thought I was behind her. She kept saying it was her fault because she kept walking, but I said, "No, it was that sick pervert's fault." A few months before, I remember getting a phone call from my other friend, who is a bit younger than me. She was 13 at the time, and I had just turned 14. She called my house, crying, and I was scared. She told me she was at the bookstore, and some older man sat next to her, and tried to talk to her, and was hitting on her. She said he kept asking for her phone number, and he wouldn't stop, so she gave it to him so he'd stop. She said that he was calling her house now. A week later, I went to the same books store, and sat down to read. A man came over to me and asked me if I knew the time. There were other people around me, so that's all he said at first. I shook my head no, and he alked away, but kept walking back and forth in the area I was in until everyone around me left. Then he crouched down next to me, took a book from the shelf, and sat right next to me pretending to read it. This sick-o kept scooting closer and closer to me, and then started asking me personal questions like where I live. I tried to ignore him, but he kept asking me, so I gave him fake answers, and a fake name. He kept bothering me, and eventually I ran away because he didn't leave. A few weeks later I came back and saw him bothering a girl who looked to be about 10. Submitted by Ali
