Harrassment
Student handout: "What is Harassment? And What We Can Do To Stop It" from
Educators for Social Responsibility This handout, written at, probably, a
late middle school level, begins, "Harassment is inappropriate unwanted
behavior which disturbs someone. To
harass is to insult, grab, aggravate, frighten, tease, taunt, threaten,
bully, and/or stalk. Harassment can make us feel uncomfortable,
embarrassed, isolated, and angry. Harassment is an act of discrimination
based on
prejudice. Harassment is mean, harmful, illegal, and doesn't belong in
schools or anywhere else. If someone is doing something to you, or saying
something about you, that you are disturbed by or feel uncomfortable about,
it's probably harassment." http://www.esrnational.org/whatisharassment.htm
