Stalking – Sexual Harassment
Stalking and sexual harassment may be inflicted by a classmate or a school staff member, or may occur between two students of the same sex. These acts and behaviors are often combined with retaliatory threats in case the victim reports the facts reported. Moreover, perpetrators often do their best to ensure that there are no witnesses.

What to Tell Children (excerpt)
• As soon as possible, talk about any form of harassment to a confidant, counselor, or school nurse.
