Sexual harassment is no more new in our society, and its age is what I can't fathom. The word harassment concisely means, "worry or annoy continually; make repeated attacks on". Some people may have been sexually harassed in one way or the other, but the fact here is that those people that have been a victim to sexual harassment, may not necessarily know the reasons for it. Sexual harassment can take place anywhere, and anytime! But the thesis at hand is on how to prevent or avoid sexual harassment, and the onus towards it. It can possibly come from the opposite sex, and we must not be flippant to this. It even lead some people into homophobia. But in this article, I will dexterously brief you on how to avoid sexual harassment! But before we plunge into that, we will like to soberly look at some questions being asked on sexual harassment!
Some of the questions are:
1. How do I prevent or avoid sexual harassment?
2. Why are people sexually harassed?
3. What are the solution or panacea to sexual harassment?
Well, with reference to the questions above, I adroitly decided to make a précis on how to prevent or avoid sexual harassment. And they are:
1. Don't flirt: The term flirt concisely means, "pretending lightheartedly to court a person". Most people do engage in this act. Well, lets see what this Biblical excerpt really imply;
Can a man take fire to his bossom, and his clothes not be burned?
~ Proverbs 6 vs 27
Those sexually related text messages you do welcome on your mobile phone, may convince the sender that you welcomed it, without knowing that you don't like it. The reason is because, you didn't let the sender know how you feels about it. Some of my fellow youths do pretend to love someone, whereas they don't. Better cruise to a riddance. Don't welcome an sms, or talks that are synonymous to a sexual activity! If you welcome them, and you are sexually harassed therein, what will be your opinion? Let us stop sending wrong signals to things that may lead to sexual harassment. Always abhor such advances that may lead to it. If you are to chat on a social application, especially on 2go and Mozat, please know the type of words to welcome!
2. Watch your association: What I mean here is that you should know the calibre of friends you associates with, in order not to risk your identity cum morals, and as well not to poise security risk. I don't think much elucidiation is needed here. Let assume you are a child of God, but you associates with hooligans, then it will be publicly assumed that your values matches with those of your friends.
Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good morals.
1 Cor 15 vs 33
An adage says; show me your friend, and I will tell you who you are!
What do you think
When you hang around with the one who gives in to the remarks of sexual harassment, or who enjoy the attention, then you will get harassed too!
Let assume your close friend is a gay or lesbian, then people in your vicinity will also assume you the same! So you don't need to associate with people that are below your calibre, or those that their idiosyncrasy does not match yours! Sexual harassment, may not necessarily come from people of opposite sex as I said earlier, it can also involve people of the same sex as well. A male can harass a male sexually, and likewise a female!
To know if your friend worth it;
Examine his or her hobbies.
What interests him or her.
The kinds of words he or she uses.
His or her reactions to certain words or situations.
Finally, the type of interaction that interests him or her.
Birds of the same feather flocks together.
3. Be careful on how you dress: Immodest dress codes now rule the minds of my fellow youths. Some male teenagers of nowadays have accustomed to sagging, as if you don't sag, then you wouldn't be regarded a big boy or whatever! Rubbish! When you see your your younger sibling sag, and you overlook it, and didn't berate or scold him. Then, it sounds as good as an encouragement. Our females teenagers on the other hand are not left out as well, as they wear tight and stretchy jean trousers, as if you will be labelled a dunce, if you wears none!
A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
~ Deut. 22 vs 5
Some females keep to this rule, whereas some use all sorts of verbal allusions to disentangle themselves from this Biblical quotation. What type of signal do your outfit sends out there? What type of passion do you reflect? Judge yourself!
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
~ Galatians 6 vs 7
God cannot be mocked or deceived, just as you vividly read in the quotation above. Some young ladies do dress to the extent of leaving their cleavage well exposed. Tight cum stretchy jeans are now in vogue! Some nearly wear it to Sunday service or any religious congregation! Afterall, it depends on what you wears it for! What do you think, on what the thoughts of those people around you will be subjected to? Let us stop deceiving ourselves in the name of fashion cum trendy fabrication!
Did you know?
Wearing certain gang colour or trademarks, can single you out for attack. If someone dressed like a gang member, whereas he is not one, most likely, he or she would be a target. Either he would have to join a gang, or get hurt!
When you dress immodestly, then sexual harassment is imminent. Some mothers even encourage their daughters to wear immodest clothes, thereby enthroning them into imbroglio. Your dress codes speaks well of what you craves for! 'Ucheonye Nzubechi is not in any way alluding that males dresses with modesty, or that those that wear skirts are puritans or reserved. What I mean is that indecent dressing these days is egregiously mind-boggling! And if you don't stand for something, definitely you will fall for anything.
Did you know?
Immodest clothings cum morals, sends out clear signal that you crave for the interest of the opposite sex, and you will surely get it!
Don't hide your christian identity! If you do, no one will have the reason to expect you to live to christian standards!
Finally, having to deal with bullying or sexual harassment is no fun. But always remember that christian youths needs not to be victims of sexual harassment; neither should they tolerate or be allured by the advances of a harasser!
