I'd class that more as normal harassment rather than sexual harassment. I'd class sexual harassment as lewd remarks, not saying you have an STD

It is harassment in some form, but not entirely sexual. If it's happening in school, tell your teachers. If it's happening outside of school, speak to your parents.

But most of all, just ignore him. He clearly has issues.

I wouldn't say it was sexual harassment either, it IS bullying/harassment however. Sexual harassment would be making sexual remarks towards you.

If this is happening in school tell your teacher, please. I don't even know this guy but I can say he's not worth getting upset over :/ your teachers need to know.

He's just a stupid shit. F*** him. I had so many jerks like it at my school that it really got hard to ignore, I mean they were everywhere you stepped, even on the floor.

But he's only one and just a fool. Don't display any reaction to it. He's trying to wind you up, and get others to join in and egg you on.


If you've got some spare time, read this:

But don't if you're easily triggered. If you're not easily triggered then go ahead.

It would be just normal harassment. First, try not to react. That is the reason he is doing it is because he wants your reaction. Second, tell a teacher at your school. You don't deserve that rumor to be spread.

Personally, yes, I would call it sexual harassment. Sexual harassment encompasses a lot of things, not just making sexual remarks to you. Calling someone gay is sexual harassment, even though it's not exactly a sexual remark. And spreading rumours about someone's sex life would be sexual harassment as well. So telling people that you have a sexually transmitted disease sounds like sexual harassment to me.

I would definitely speak to a teacher about this if you haven't already. You're feeling bullied and upset at school and someone should be doing something to stop that. Tell a teacher or other staff member that you trust. They should be able to help you out.

Quote:
Sexual harassment, is intimidation, bullying or coercion of a sexual nature, or the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors.[1] In some contexts or circumstances, sexual harassment may be illegal. It includes a range of behavior from seemingly mild transgressions and annoyances to actual sexual abuse or sexual assault.[2] Sexual harassment is a form of illegal employment discrimination in many countries, and is a form of abuse (sexual and psychological) and bullying.
I hope this helped a little bit to explain what sexual harassment is

Well at the very least it's vindictive behavior on this person's part. It seems like it's sexual harassment to me from what I found on a site that defines it. It seems as though sexual harassment is pretty broadly defined.

I would consider it normal harrasment. If you ignore this guy long enough and don't give him the time of day, then eventually he'll leave you alone, don't react, because that's what he wants you to do , and long as you do, he'll keep spreading the rumor.

Nop,e but if you do not have AIDS, then it is Slander and or Libel, and is a civil suit in court, at least int he United States. If you DO have HIV/AIDS then that is completely legal, and he has every right to state it.

Politicians and diapers should both be changed often, and for the same reason.... Guile
