Answer:
To the girls who have also been sexually harassed: You aren’t alone; you should tell someone, and it’s not your fault. I am here for you! I recently found out that some of my closest friends were also sexually harassed or even worse, raped. I am not going to be silent anymore! These two older students sexually harassed me for months. My friends told me to tell an adult, so I went to see a counselor. I told her all about it, and she said, “What you want us to do about it?”
I told her, “I don’t know. That’s why I came to you for help.” The school never did anything about it, so the guys got away with it because one was a senior, and the other was a junior. I believe they should have been suspended for their inappropriate behavior, knowing it made me uncomfortable but still deciding to do it again anyway. I believe sexual harassment should be a crime because nobody should feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Stay strong. We will get through this together.
Explanation: Well said! I hope it makes a difference and improves the lives of the students at your school.
I made a few minor corrections-- mostly to punctuation. There are a few wording changes.
Where I live, the school officials must take action when a student reports sexual harassment. If you tell the perpetrators to stop, and they continue to harass you, it is also a form of bullying. If the counselor won't help, toll a dean, an assistant principal, or a trusted teacher.
