    What is Sexual Harassment?

    Sexual harassment is any unwanted physical or verbal contact that is sexual or seems sexual. It can happen almost anywhere -- at school, at work, at home or in public.

    If somebody is making inappropriate comments or jokes that make you feel uncomfortable, even if it's not about you, ask them to stop and/or report it to an adult.
