Extra benefit of not using names or anything — it can be used by more than just the actual daughter. This woman can be used to represent any and all mothers of girls who are saying no to boys who just don't get it.

And, anyway, the girl has *already* addressed it with him—repeatedly! That's the point, here. It's been addressed, and he isn't listening.

I think she handled it perfectly. She was polite, lucid and straightforward. I can't imagine this boy seeing this video (and I certainly hope he does) and not having some kind of revelation about his behavior.

Soon you'll be wrapped in so many layers of cynicism and bourbon, you won't even be able to feel the rejection anymore.

Fair enough.

I've been stalked and they called my mother after finding her online. It's not the same thing. If he is following her, waiting for her, randomly shows up at places where she is outside school that's getting into stalking. But stalking should not be used to mean harassment because then everyone who claims they are…

Him. When someone stands behind my car being "cute" and I've got to get my grandma to a doctor's appointment, I do not fuck around.

They definitely need to start teaching consent as part of sex ed.

Yep. My son, at 8 years old, was all sad in the car when I picked him up from school because, and I quote, Imani 'rejected' him. I explained that she didn't reject him, she just didn't like him the way he liked her, and that's going to happen a lot in life, and that it is OK, and Imani is still a nice girl, and he's…

Also, pretty darn sure that's her daughter off-screen at one point, so daughter knew and approved of this video and is likely not mortified.

Honestly, I don't think I'd be "nice" about sending this little wank-stain off with a flea in his ear. I think I'd be complaining to her school and if they didn't shut this sexual harassment shit down, I'd file a restraining order. This is stalking. There's no being "nice" or "polite" to a stalker. If little fool…

I suppose it could lead to him being bullied, but it sounds like he is attempting to bully her. He is harassing her at school. I'm not saying that two wrongs make a right. I would have been mortified if my mother had posted such a thing. But I agree with you that she has most likely exhausted other options. I…

I WISH I'd been raised to say no. Not to please everyone. Took a long ass time to determine and understand my worth and the power of that worth. Good on that mom. And both of these teens are LUCKY to have an adult lay it out like it is and now how we hope things will be.

Do you ask the same employer repeatedly to hire you within a span of days even after the position is closed?

YES. This is one of the ways we prevent abusive relationships.

God, this video x a million.

As a high school teacher, I watch relentless pursuits on a regular basis. As I much as I feel sympathy for young people in the throes of unrequited love, I will personally intervene if I witness harassing behaviors. Just had to gently, but firmly, ban a kid from coming to my class in any hour that wasn't the one in…

This is a key life lesson, and I'm really uncomfortable with the trend of shielding children from rejection and failure. And this extends past simply harassing someone you find attractive and being unwilling to accept defeat.

*Everyone* definitely needs to take this lesson to heart. That was an awesome video. :)

And seriously, mr. boy who keeps bothering doe eye's daughter, if it has escalated to the point where she is saying "go away", you are being a total creep.
