I know this isn't the right place to get help, but I really just... need to talk to someone. I'll also hide this when I get the advice I need.

In the past two weeks, there's been this "trend" (this most likely isn't just a thing at my school) where you stand behind someone, and just smack their butt as hard as you can. As a joke. The person you're smacking is completely clueless and has no idea what's going on. Its supposed to be a "joke", once again.

Just last week, I got up during my science class to say hi to a friend that was sitting next to a group of people. I sat next to her. Another friend saw me and started to hug me and wrap her hands around my neck, and took my glasses. I got up to get my glasses back, and it was all "haha funni tiems", When I was about to sit back down, she grabbed me and smacked my butt really hard. Apparently that smack was loud enough to attract my teacher. All he did was say "Keep your hands to yourself" and did a finger wag.

At lunch, the same thing happened basically. 3 times. 1st was when we (the class) were standing in a line and were about to sit down for lunch. I told the girl not to touch me again, and then she smacks my butt again, twice as hard.

Was about to sit down at my lunch table. Smacks twice, and she leaves.

The last time she smacked me was yesterday. My teacher usually takes us down to lunch, and we were just on our way there. We stopped in front of our classroom and my teacher was just telling us to quiet down. My locker was right next to the class. I opened my locker to get something to eat. I was getting sneaky about it because the principal was getting strict about times we were supposed to go to our lockers and whatever. I was bending slightly and opened my bookbag, and the same girl smacks my butt and all the girls look and laugh at me. I tell her to "f off" but she didn't hear me. She smacks me again once I close my locker.

People were around me to witness what happened, but nothing serious happened.

I'll try. She does sit near me in some of my classes, but she's around 6 feet away at least. Thank you.

I could try to push her away from me when standing up or switch spots with a friend when I'm near her. She only smacks me, and other girls in her friend group (I'm technically not in it. She might also be doing this to me because I seem so chill about everything). So... hopefully she doesn't hurt my friends.

Ai-, I could hire you as a hitma-

Where could I find a snorlax by any chance (asking for a friend)

----

I'll tell them ai :)

6 feet hmm... as she should...

Just ask team rocket for a snorlax

let’s plan the assassination

Wait try to get back at them the next time they try to do it

I keep commenting omg

when u said the i seem so chill about it, maybe she thinks u think its funny. SO tell her to stop. Like confront her. go to her, take her aside and personally tell her to stop. idk maybe she just doesnt read the room or somehting

Why can’t we all track down their ip addresses and get shark to gobble them up

LMAO put her in her sharkbldder

LMAO WHY WOULD YOU THINK TGAT SON WTF LLLLLOLLL

just doing what oyu would do, dad

Yes I’m a big inspiration

ai i can be da scout :D

I could try, but I'm a lil scared to confront her because of her personality (She's sorta hyper, funny, and basically your average class clown/crackhead). I don't want to hurt her or anything because I just don't, and because she has my phone number and god knows what she could do.

team rocket's blasting off againnnn...

Ok I'm not the best advice giver, but like maybe just confront her. You should kindly ask her that its not funny and makes you feel uncomfortable. If she doesn't stop you should stop hanging out with her. If not might have to listen to someone else.

It's important to document the harassment too, don't doubt your instincts when you know it's the right time to report to the teachers, hekk even your guardian.

You can vent to a classmate too, someone you feel comfortable around with, it'll help loads.

You can always report her anonymously

You should build solidarity, connect with others who feel the same too, if there are any

Everyone wants you to feel safe and comfortable, online as well as irl. We'll all give you the advice you need so please don't feel ashamed to hide your problems.

hey

A lot of us think you should report her and also confront her, and be clear and specific with the problem too

We wish for you to feel safe

yah

Honestly, I'm just restating at this point but yeah, you should report this

You told her to stop, she was aware you told her, but she didn't stop. I hope that the talk with the other people goes well too,,

i really would like this to stop. I mean, this would make any one uncomfortable and I understand that you're nervous about it. You don't exactly know what to expect.

Just have your guard up when you're around her. If she tries to approach and try it again, try to block her in any way you can.

You should feel safe <33
