Let's get ready and go to the fair rides on the boardwalk!
In July of 2022, I brought my best friend on my family beach trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. Both of us were 16 and enjoying ourselves the whole trip.

Me and Vanessa took our time look our best for the boardwalk.

Is he talking to us?
Wow, you young girls look amazing!
While we were walking along the boardwalk an older man was following us and catcalling.

We decided to hide in a store because this had never happened to either of us and we didn't know what else to do.

Let's wear these around the boardwalk for fun!

While hiding in the store we bought matching shirts as a joke to wear around.

We bought the shirts and thought nothing of it.

We found a ride to go on and talked to the ride attendant while waiting in line.
Woah, Hi guys.

So are you guys dating?... Do you guys like do stuff?... Can you kiss to prove it?
Ummm... no?

The attendant harassed us because of the shirt we were wearing. We tried not to play into it, but it was a very uncomfortable situation.

Maybe you should be more aware of what you're wearing.
Your shorts are pretty short, that's probably why that guy catcalled you.
We wore our shirts out and this guy was being weird!

We came back and told my mom and her boyfriend, but were disappointed in their responses.

After that night I realized that grown men will find any reason to be weird with young girls. I also realized that even though my mom is also a girl we will never see eye to eye on gender and sexuality issues because she was raised in a different time.
