There is this guy who goes to my school. I do not talk to him or to anyone associated with him, because he is in a gang (I do not live in a nice area). But he always comes up to me and tries to talk to me. Not talk like a normal person would, but he's always asking me sexual questions or making obscene sexual comments at me.
At first this was all he did, so I dealt with it and ignored it. But now, weeks since it started, it's become physical and I'm becoming extremely uncomfortable with the situation...he's always making nasty sex signs at me with his hands and touching me. I do not like it at all. Every time he touches me my stomach turns. And I don't mean just touching my arm or leg, either.
I have told him to stop physically touching me, but he just mocks me. In fact, it seems like his behavior gets worse every time I ask him to stop, no matter how nicely I do it. The final straw was when he and his brother followed me home yesterday. I had to make a detour to my friend's house so they wouldn't see where I lived.
I would talk to a teacher or parent about this, but it's not that straightforward...he's in a gang. He has the 'symbol' of a local gang tattooed on the back of his neck and some illegible words tattooed across his fingers. I'd rather not risk him or his brother or anyone else retaliating against me or escalating this, so I suppose I just have to make him not like me anymore or make him really think I don't want him...he apparently doesn't get the message. How do I make him stop without getting my a** kicked?
