    I feel like the media romanticized sexual assault. For example, pinning against the wall and kissing them. Everyone thought that was cute in the early 2000s.

He kissed me by the way, and it was such a long time ago, but no matter how young you or the other is, it can still scar them so much. this happened when I was in first grade and I am still hurting from it.

    Unwanted flirting is also a form of sexual harassment. I know from personal experience in middle school. I told him to stop multiple times and he didn't listen to me. I told my parents, thinking that they would help me. But instead they were MAD at me. They said he was just trying to be "nice." A few weeks later I had to tell my vice principal, and luckily he was able to handle it. He told the boy to stop talking to me that way, and he did. The vice principal emailed my parents who then listened to me.
    Just know that when you say no, it means no. Don't ever let anyone treat you in such a manner.

      Malena Acevedo I agree!

We don't need that kind of education!" He almost took down the school subject focusing on these type of things! If anyone was wondering, yes in Polish schools there is a whole subject on that and I'm personally glad there is. I think its very important to learn about this. And I'm also glad that there is a youtube channel focused on that topic, that way its available for everyone and we can all learn!

    Since i keep seeing people talking about their stories i thought i'd do the same since i know there's no where else for me to say this but, a relative has been making me feel uncomfortable for about 3 years now and i just dont know how to feel or what to do, they keep telling me to do stuff im uncomfortable with but they just laugh and keep holding me in place forcefully and it takes around a few minutes of constantly saying no to get them off of me. I dont know how much longer this will go on and im scared. My parents would kill me or not believe me so its no use telling them. Thank you for coming to my rant.

It sounds like you will have to find other trusted adults to help you, like another family member, teacher, friend’s parent or neighbor. There are trained support specialists that you can call at the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1 (800) 656-HOPE (4673) or chat with online at Online.RAINN.org. These specialists can help you come up with a plan to get help. Keep telling adults you trust until you get help. You deserve to be safe.

Any kind of sexual behaviors or touching another person’s breasts, genitals or buttocks WITHOUT that person’s permission (also known as consent) is sexual assault. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

    I have seen multiple videos about sexual assault. And one thing stood out to me: There is a too strong emphasis on the specific places a person has to touch you, for you to be sexual assaulted. It is always: breasts, inner thigh, genitals or butt. Every place you don't want to be touched is wrong! If it feels sexual and wrong, then it is wrong. I can't stretch that enough.

No one has the right to touch you if you don't want them to! So what do you do? First, you say no, then you get outta there! Most important, you gotta tell someone you trust, like your parents, your teacher or a police officer

    Yikes. I remember one time I was on visitation with my Dad. I was 12 at the time. (a couple years ago) My Grandfather's girlfriend was sitting in the car with me alone at the time. My Dad and Grandfather were getting something in the house. Anyway, she slowly touched my inner thighs and touched my hair and nails. She kept on asking me REPEATEDLY to talk to her and use my phone. I felt really uncomfortable and just ignored her. Pretty soon I got tired of her doing that to me, so I got out of the car and called the police. They came very quick and then took me back home. I felt so dirty. We had to deal with court and everything. Thank God I don't have to see my Dad anymore. The whole visitation thing was messed up.

      It’s not right that this happened to you, and it is not your fault. No one should touch you in a sexual way. This includes family members, other adults and other kids. Don’t keep this a secret. Find someone you trust, like a parent, family member, teacher, coach, a friend’s parent or neighbor, and tell them what happened. There are people out there who can help.

      Great question! If someone is saying sexual things to you against your will, even if they're jokes, that can be a type of sexual harassment. If you're feeling extra concerned about it, you might want to let a trusted adult know so that they might be able to help you address it.

    I know im a bit late, but has anyone been in this situation/have advice for this? One guy in my class has been harassing me for weeks now, repeatedly asking me dirty questions and touching me. I’m not sure if this counts as sexual assault because he’s only touched my leg. Also- if it does count, how should i address this with my teachers and parents? Everytime i want to talk about it i feel embarrassed, i’m not supposed to know what words like “sex” or “genitals” mean since im fairly young.

      I'm so sorry this is happening to you! Its not your fault and you should absolutely tell an adult that you trust.

    What if at the moment the partner said yes and later he/she was not happy with the sex? Then he/she accused the other for sexual assault and there was not evidence that included the verbal consent. What should the accused person do?

      @amazeorg  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks for writing to us with your important question. There is a big difference between a person not enjoying sexual touching with a partner and someone being sexually assaulted. If a person is legally accused of sexual assault, they would want to consult with a lawyer to help with any legal charges that might have been brought against them. The courts can appoint one if the person doesn't have the resources or familiarity with a lawyer they could use. It would be important to get help from professionals to figure out what the best path forward is.

Please talk to your parent or another adult you trust, so they know what is going on and can help you. If the first person you tell doesn’t do anything, tell someone else, like another relative, teacher or neighbor that you trust. Keep telling adults until you get help.

    I work as a hostess and communicate with servers. One of the servers is the flirty type. He does unwelcoming gestures like a hug and an attempt to kiss me on the cheek. He will also put his finger in my pocket. He also laid his hand on my a**. All of these things were unwelcomed and I have a boyfriend. I don’t know how to tell my boyfriend, he’s going to get upset that I never reported it. But I want to tell him. I was harassed before at a party and he said I should have slapped the guy but what can you do in the moment when you don’t want to make a scene? I would feel guilty to report him bc I would feel like I’m overreacting. I never make my boundaries clear because I don’t want work tension but I’m uncomfortable with it. I need real advice!!

      Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry that you're experiencing this. Often people may experience sexual assault and not realize that's what they've experienced simply because they haven't discussed with anyone else. That's why it's very important that if you do feel concerned about an experience you've had you reach out to someone you trust.
      Don't be afraid to reach out now! Since it is happening at work and can be overwhelming to worry about the consequences of telling someone. BUT, you need to. It's not your fault and if your boyfriend doesn't believe you, keep telling an adult until someone does.

    I know I am late to this video, but I just wanted to say, I was 9 when my “friend” who was 10 years old told me to play a game with her, I was really naive back then and did not understand anything, I was also afraid to say no due to a trauma I had in the past, she told me to show her my private part, I didn’t want to but she insisted that it was just a game and that I had to do it because those were the rules, I was to afraid to just say no as I said before, she started touching me, I didn’t know what to do so I just stayed there like a statue not knowing what to do, after that time I never wanted to see her again, but she continued talking to me, and when she invited me to sleepovers I couldnt say no because my mom would ask if we fought or what happened, and I was afraid to tell the truth and didn’t know what to do, I was scared.... I moved schools a year later so I don’t talk to her anymore, I blocked her on everything. And if I ever saw her somewhere I would always avoid her and never talk to her, I would run the opposite direction. I am 12 now but I cannot not stop thinking and feeling disgusted and bad about myself, I kinda hate myself for it and for being naive and not knowing nor understanding what was happening back then and that it was bad, now I understand and I really hate this feeling when I remember those times. But it was all my fault for being so dumb and stupid.

      No one has the right to bully or harass another person. If someone is being sexually harassed, they can tell the person harassing them to stop. If this does not stop the behavior, tell a trusted adult-like a parent, relative, teacher or coach-and keep telling adults until the harassment stops.
      If the harassment happens at school, speak with a guidance counselor, nurse or administrator to get help and find out if your school has a policy on bullying and harassment.

      I am so sorry this happened. Any sexual behavior without consent is considered sexual assault. Sexual assault is not your fault, and you deserve to be safe. Please talk to an adult you trust, so they know what is going on and can help you. If the first person you tell doesn’t do anything, tell someone else, like another relative, teacher or neighbor that you trust. Keep telling adults until you get help. You can also call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1(800) 656-HOPE (4673).

    After a hard night of partying I crashed. Later woke up to wet warmth on my manhood. I cracked my eyes to see bobbing under the sheet. I passed out again. I woke up to my g.f. ripping off the sheets screaming w.t.f? Her youngest daughter 4yo laying at waist level yawned, stretched & smiled with that "I got me some" smile y'all female's get when you got some! Any remedy?

    Have men ever sexually assaulted? Are words considered assault? Does limiting words go against the universal rights of humans? Is this video sexist?

    What if you say 10 times no but you are still pressured so at the end you say yes even if you do not want to. Is that giving a consent?

    • @amazeorg

      Thanks for reaching out to us. A person should only need to say "no" once and that "no" should be respected. A person should never have to say "no" ten times and if they say "yes" after just because they are feeling pressured, that is not consent, it is called coercion. Coercion is making a person act in an involuntary manner by use of threats or force. Check out some of our videos that explain exactly what consent is, and is not and be sure to talk with a trusted adult if this situation has left you feeling uncomfortable in any way.

      That is not consent.
