Boys used to poke my breats with paint brushes in art class, among other things. Sad that it still happens. Quoting: Vic-chick13 pics or it never happened Lol! That would have been 1982. Seriously though, how would feel if your 12 year old daughter was getting grabbed in class and the standard line from the school was 'boys will be boys, let's not blow this out of proportion'? The only reason it stopped was because one of the idiots grabbed me from behind. We were doing a paper mâché project, so I had big gooey hand prints on my boobs. The principal couldn't ignore it after that. I can chuckle about it now,nevertheless, no girl should have to go through that. Agreed! I had two friends, who were very well endowed in the sixth grade and they were miserable. The boys were constantly talking about their boobs. One of the girls actually had a breast reduction when she was 18.

Quoting: TDJ Maybe she is miserable and would like the reduction but it's not up to the school to suggest that it's her fault she's being harassed It's hard to get around harassment. I started wearing minimizing bras the days I had gym and then my regular bras on the other days and people thought I was stuffing my chest (it did look stuffed sometimes because I had a pretty lacy bra and I wore it with a sweater so it had bumps, it wasn't until a teacher accused me of stuffing that I realized that was the wrong bra with that sweater). My cousin said she thought I was smaller or bigger "last week", which I was but it was the minimizer, not due to stuffing. I was a size D in middle school, never even thought of stuffing, didn't need to. The whole thing is really funny when I look back on it but I bet there's still people that think of me as the girl that stuffed-LOL. Judgers gonna judge. It's really hard, even when you do find a way to work around it. |

Back when I was in school, the rules put bullies at a disadvantage. Back in those days, if there was a fight on school grounds, the only kid who got into trouble was the one who threw the first punch. The kid who fought back in self-defense was deemed innocent of any wrongdoing. So the only one who got into trouble was the bully, AND the bully risked potentially getting his ass kicked too. Also, groping a girl was considered the equivalent of throwing the first punch, which I found out when I did not get into any trouble for beating the crap out the boy who groped me on the playground in the 4th grade. He was the one who got detention and ended up being beat up by a girl to add insult to injury. Needless to say, he did not ever grope me again. |
