I disagree with the "no snitch" policy. I never snitched in high school, but looking back I wish I had snitched in a few situations. One of those situations did involve a popular girl making passes at me when I wasn't the least bit interested. She leveraged that popularity, whining to her friends who would then keep harassing me about it. I didn't want to get caught up in the "in crowd" and all its crap, and I'm sure Miss Popular was scaring away the types of "geek chicks" that I
would have been interested in. Another thing Miss Popular did was jump to conclusions regarding my sexual orientation and spread rumors.
Look, yes it is honorable to take care of things on your own... when it's
reasonable to think you can handle it yourself. In the above situation, I was up against Miss Popular and her
whole frickin' social network. It would have been better just to stop by the principal's office and have her called in to explain herself to the principal.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this kind of crap doesn't end with high school. Sexual harassment and other bullying is alive and well in the workplace. If you're shy
and attractive, you're a target.
