I’m 16 years old. I was going to school one day, taking the bus in NYC. I had my headphones in so I just took a seat at the back of the bus without paying any mind to who was in the seat next to me. Boy was that a mistake. The old man next to me asked me “Do you know why I let you sit there?” And I was of course confused, so I took out my headphones and said, “What?” He gave me a grimy smile and said “It’s because you’re so sexy.” I tried to face away from him and ignore him but he keep babbling on about my appearance and his life story. At one point he told me, “I love French girls. I can tell you’re French.” which really creeped me out, because I am actually French. My stop came and I got off the bus, and he called after me as I hurried off. It made me so mad that the women and men around me didn’t say anything. I’m a minor for christ sake. I was in a bad mood all throughout the school day.
