16. My personal story - As a small girl

Fri Aug 5, 2016, 08:44 AM

Aug 2016

in 3rd and 4th grade I used to have several boys who would tease me incessantly. Take bobby pins and twist them into a bobby pin stinger (if you don't know what that is google it - there are a lot of videos but they were all really poor and mostly made by 11 year old boys) and then touch me on the arm with it. They also called me names and would empty my desk on the floor.

One day while no teacher was in the room, the biggest one of them cornered me when I was trying to get to my locker and was preventing me from getting to my locker. I swung and hit him over the head with my metal lunch box and he went off crying and calling me a bitch but he never bothered me again. None of the other boys bothered me again either.
