I’m 15 years old. I was walking home from the bus stop and it’s only a 20 minute walk. In those 20 minutes, someone in a car driving on the opposite side of the road honked the horn at me and made inappropriate sexual gestures. Someone in another car whistled at me and told me to take a ride with them. Another person in a car made a u turn and stopped me and said he was sorry he just had to get another look. I’m 15. I can tolerate catcalling at school but when it comes from grown men it’s extremely frightening.
