The other day before a big pep rally at our school I was waiting at my friends locker when about half the football team came charging down the hallway. All I saw were red jerseys before I was knocked on the floor with my head having hit the lockers and an elbow having been jammed in my shoulder blade. Also the fact that I'm currently on crutches and my injured knee bent a certain painful way. They seemed to have stopped in front of me with one looking back and screaming 'HEY, WE RAN OVER THE CRIPPLE!' instead of doing the correct thing and coming over to help me up or apologizing at the least, I watched them continue running and laughing along the way.
now, I have a bruise on my shoulder blade and my head is still pounding from that hit. I can only take so much weight on me, I'm a 5 foot tall 16 year old weighing 120. Those boys are probably no less than 6 feet and weighing somewhere around 180. I pretty much cried myself to sleep that evening because I just felt so insignificant. I'm cordial with those boys, last I checked I didn't give any of them a reason to dislike me.
The second issue I've had this week is my computer has recently been infected with a virus and is sending viral videos to everyone on my Facebook account. a few people have commented saying 'hey, I think you've gotten a virus.' or 'what the heck is this?' but one boy who I've only spoken to once or twice wrote 'fu*k you __' and spelled my last name wrong. This may have been the straw that broke the camel's back after the previous incident but I just can't understand what could make someone think they are so above everything that it's funny and okay to write that to a girl he barely even knows.
these are only two incidents of the many I've experienced with the male population. The thing is, I don't bother anyone. I have friends both girls and guys and besides that I'm relatively friendly with everyone. I don't dress like a tramp, or act like one. I've never even had a boyfriend!
I guess I'm just asking any guys out there how they feel about this, If they do these things because it's funny to them and their friends or if they do it just to be assholes. Because that kind of treatment and harassment hurts the ego and has done nothing for my self-esteem. I know and hold on to the hope that all guys aren't like that, I've had proof of that over the years, but I'd like to know, what do you think motivates boys to act like that towards girls?

I hate when people are like "boys being boys", people need to be held accountable for their behavior. There is no justification to treat anyone like that, those guys are just stupid assholes. I don't know why they do that to you hun, stuff like that used to happen to me in high school. All guys aren't like that, just the immature losers who are so desperate to impress their friends that they will go after someone they consider lower on the totem pole just to make themselves look higher. Tell your friends what these guys do so you'll have people in your corner. And don't worry, those are the kind of guys that end up with the crappiest lives after high school.
It's flattering when a gentleman approaches a lady and tastefully compliments her, is it not? Notice that I used the word, "gentleman". I won't go and say that gentlemen don't exist and that chivalry...
I see this question posted with some regularity in the many personals sections on the internet and what not, so I thought I'd take a minute to explain things to the ladies out there that haven't...
