Somebody who is sexually harassed might feel:

  • Embarrassed

  • Angry

  • Helpless or hopeless
He or she may also have low self-esteem.

Most kids also try to avoid situations in which they might encounter the harasser. However, it is better to deal with the problem with an adult's help than to simply avoid it.
