Sexual Harassment
Avoiding harassment, stalking, unwanted advances, starting rumors, and sexism is essential for creating a safe and respectful school environment. These behaviors can cause significant emotional distress, harm others, and contribute to a toxic atmosphere where students feel unsafe and disrespected. Sexism, in particular, undermines equality by treating people unfairly based on their gender, further damaging relationships and school culture. It’s important for students to understand that everyone deserves to feel secure, valued, and respected. By treating others with kindness, respecting boundaries, and rejecting stereotypes, students help build a school culture where trust and positive relationships can thrive, allowing everyone to focus on their learning and personal growth.
