i live in a closed area, a compound, anyways all people know each other and they are all from the university teaching staff, i am a bit of a loner, i dont like socializing in my compound, its my free choice, i am 20 years old, i have lived here for almost 10 years, guys who live here keep on harassing me not physically but they keep on bullying
one incident:
me and my female friend were passing by, they said sexually assaulting comments and no other girl was passing by, and this happened last week, i was shocked because there weren't any "females" to address there speech to except us, so i walked by and didn't say anything, but i couldnt leave it like that because i knew they will escalate this, so i stopped and asked him : who are you addressing this to? he said: no one addressed you, and move on "ya mama" and then they began on being sarcastic and annoyed us, so my friend said: dont bother them they are a group of hash addicts, they replied by saying: there's no hash if there is bring us some, i cried really hard that day, because i felt like i was being violated my personal space was!! and i told a professor who was walking by, he talked to them, and two guys came and said that this is a "misunderstanding" and that they would protect me from anyone in the street :S they thought i was dumb enough to believe this!!
another incident 5 weeks ago:
i was with 2 of my friends one male and one female, these guys- the harassers- kept on gazing at us and paasing by with their car and laughing beside us and stuff, so my guy friend gazed back, and they did the finger movement, and they took the chance that he's alone and they attacked him, they swore at him and they were gonna beat him, and it was a total ridicule!!
thats only two incidents, there are plenty more.
anyways, i have friends and a family i'm a normal teenager, but i chose not to have any relation with those crack-heads, i dont do drugs, i dont smoke, i always run or jog in the compound and they keep on laughing at me or saying stupid comments, i was gonna go to the cops, but i dont have a relative that is a police officer, i feel disrespected just because i'm a girl, it is such a bad feeling, i dress pretty normal and i have to note that i am pretty successful in my studies and professional life, also in the past these guys took private lessons with me during high school and they got really bad grades, i got really high grades and got admitted to the highest college (grade-wise) so maybe that's what fueled it..
I really need your advice, i dont know what to do, i dont like trouble or violence and i wish this is a bad dream that would go away!!
please any advice.
