This harassment can be verbal, mental, or physical. Indirect sexual harassment includes prolonged staring and hushed conversations at a witness or bystander, while direct sexual harassment includes physical interactions and direct verbal requests. According to the survey “Nearly Half of Students Sexually Harassed at School,” by Jason Koebler, “…according to the report, 87% reported harmful effects from the harassment.

Indirect dating violence is often an unconscious conditioning where the victim believes they deserve this violence or believes it is their fault, while direct dating violence can often be aggressive physical or sexual abuse. “A 2005 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that of 6,888 high school students nationwide, 1 in 11 had been hit, slapped, or punched by an intimate partner.” (Burleigh). Dating violence, especially among teens, stems from a lack of consent which can lead to a cycle of violence. The effects of these problems can include victims suffering actual physical injuries that can be seen with the naked eye or, although equally serious, injuries that cannot be seen simply by looking at the victim.
