Am I being sexually harassed and if so how do I proceed?
Ok so umm i've done a little research on this topic and the laws in the place I live but I wanted an outside opinion. I will not be giving ages but I and the people involved are in highschool.
I (AFAB, female presenting) am queer. This is a part of the harassment. So basically theres this group of boys (whom we call 'the homophobic boys') that have been harassing my gf and I since the beginning of the year. The thing is they bully/harass us in different ways. They call my gf slurs and tell her that she is disgusting for being gay and tell her that she is better of dead. They also try to do her physical harm like trying to hit her with netballs and soccer balls during P.E. For me, they repeatedly make sexual comments about me and to me, they continuously ask me out and I have told them that not only am I not particularly interested in men (no im not a lesbian, but i am omnisexual with a fem pref) but that I am also happily in a relationship. Their main response is: "I don't care that you're gay, I'm down for anything." They have also asked my gf and I to kiss in front of them which is something neither of us are comfortable doing bc of them being homophobic to us, they have moaned my name loudly in public places when I am present (train, train station, etc.) they have thrown things at me to get my attention and they have done all of these things repeatedly. They show no signs of stopping and I am pretty sure that this is sexual harassment but as I said earlier, I want an outside opinion. I do have witnesses to these behaviours whom I think would be willing to stand up for me but aside from that it would mostly be my word against theirs. I am not sure if I should report this matter to the school or to the police or just leave it alone. Any advice given is greatly appreciated.
