I was walking with my mom and a man approached us. He said, “Hey, beautiful,” and asked if I had a boyfriend. He continued to make other comments and we walked away. I felt I should have said something to defend myself but I didn’t. I feel so angry inside because I should have said something to make him stop. How can I show him manners? What if it keeps happening? How do I make it stop? Now I feel like hurting him. I want to find him. Show him manners. It keeps bothering me. Why didn’t I do something? I feel so angry inside.
