In the beginning I was scared to report the activities to my supervisor last year, Mr. Takeaway. My predecessor, Lee experienced the same things and gave me a warning but she too was too scared to say anything. So for two years she experienced being harassed and never reported it. When she took me to Pretoria Industrial High School she told me to never ever wear dresses or skirts at the school for my …show more content…

The students know that I do not speak French so they harass me in English. I have reported it to the male TEACHERs working at those schools and out of all the times I reported it, only one teacher made the student apologize. If I do not report it the teachers will not do anything even if they hear what the student says to me they just go on with class and pretend like nothing is wrong. I do not feel like the French teachers protect me in class. Out of class they can not protect me. I am constantly in fear. I am scared to go to the bathroom thinking I might bump into male students on the way. I am scared to walk from the station to the school and from the school to the station. I work in fear and I do not think that this is right for any person to be scared in their work environment. I try my best to be a great ASSISTANTS even though this is happening but I do not think that I have been giving my best even though I try. I am not the only one in danger but the female students at that school are in danger to. I am not only scared for myself but I fear for them too. I have seen the female students get sexually assaulted in my class and the TEACHER would not do anything. I do not think this is fair for the female students.

For my campus immersion activity, I watched the movie The Hunting Ground. This movie is a documentary based on college students and their struggles they have encountered about begin sexually assaulted on their campus. Throughout this movie, I found myself almost in tears, or clenching my blanket so tight because it was so difficult and frustrating to hear these victim’s stories and how they almost always never received the help they were hoping for from their own universities. Hearing statistics repeatedly mentioned about how colleges could have over 200 reported sexual assaults, but have only 1 expulsion, or only have 10 suspensions, is completely ridiculous and inconceivable. What is it going to take for these colleges to step up and help these victims and hold the assailants accountable?

It realistically depicts the heartbreaking consequences of school violence, committing a suicide, from the perspective of another victim. I will write an article in the perspective of the school counselor, who is in charge of the event of a child dying, because he or she is expert in controlling school brutality, so she or he can provide adequate advice to students and it can save the students from school harassment.

Employers must enforce the Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and further extend those laws and guidelines to their employees.
