Article: Give them appropriate verbal and physical support. Be loving and let them cry on you if they want to. First, make sure your friend is okay with physical contact! For example, you might say, "Is it okay if I give you a hug?" or "Is it all right if I hold you?". Physical contact can be very comforting, but ask your friend if they are okay with hugging, cuddling, or any other type of touching before you do it. Contact can make people feel better, but if they don't want it, don't do it. Sometimes just sitting quietly, whether it is in prayer or meditation or not, can help calm people and provide some comfort. Doing something active and physical can help your friend release negative physical energy. This can help calm your friend down or distract them from the situation for a moment. For example, take a brief walk, jog, go for a swim, or bike ride. Do yoga, tai chi, or some simple stretching. Sometimes, the only thing you can do is try to keep your friend from thinking about what is bothering them. Offer, or just take them, to do something that they like. Go for ice cream or a movie. Get them involved in a project, for example, sorting clothes to donate or gardening. Find something humorous like a funny meme, video clip, etc. to try to lighten your friend's mood a bit.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't be afraid to console them. Pray or meditate. Release some physical energy. Distract your friend.
Article: While some interactions with people at school may make you uncomfortable inherently, these situations may not be considered harassment unless they cross the line into being inappropriate. Another student asking you on a date or to a dance more than once may not be harassment if the person is unaware that they are making you uncomfortable. If the person becomes forceful, however, that may be harassment. Someone complimenting your appearance may not be harassment if they are simply being polite. Saying you "look great in your new jeans," may not be considered harassment, but if the conversation turns sexual in any way, it could be. Sexual harassment can come in many forms and is not always easily defined. What is considered appropriate and inappropriate is hard to delineate for all people at all times, but harassment can take on any of the following forms: Verbal harassment is made up of comments about your body, making sexual remarks, or speaking in a generally inappropriate and sexual manner. Physical harassment is any time someone makes contact with your body in a sexual and unwelcome manner. Visual harassment involves obscene gestures, exposure to inappropriate pictures or sexual objects. Sexual harassment does not have to be across genders or have anything to do with sexual advances. Anyone can be a victim of sexual harassment and anyone can be a harasser if they behave in a sexually inappropriate manner. Calling someone names like "slut" or "whore" is sexual harassment regardless of the gender of the person doing the name calling. Harassing someone because they do not conform to social gender norms is sexual harassment. Mocking someone for developing or maturing at a different rate than their peers is sexual harassment.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Differentiate between harassment and other social circumstances. Recognize the forms of sexual harassment. Identify who can be victims and who can be harassers.
