It's frankly amazing that these two emotions can be reconciled long enough for anyone to find love. (startrek.website)

Girls actually text each other like, "I'm meeting a guy allegedly named Brian here 📌If he murders me here's his Bumble pic so he can be brought to justice" and then the reply's like "You got it girl - have fun tonight! 😘😜"

Seriously. I'm 18 and just moved out this summer. The amount of people acting like creeps in public was insane at first. Now that I've been on testosterone for a while and started passing as male in public, it's been happening significantly less often. (Not never, but much less frequent).

I try to keep an eye out and be the helpful bystander in bad situations, and any advice on that would be appreciated. Stay safe out there, lemmings <3

Honestly? Call the police and don’t get personally involved.

People in the 21st century seem to have forgotten the damage one human being can do to another. With respect to your life choices, you still have the body of an 18 year old girl and pretty much any average male over the age of 16 would be able to overpower you without much effort.

Fair point! I definitely wouldn't try to physically overpower someone; in addition to what you pointed out, I have a musculoskeletal condition that makes me pretty weak lol. I do appreciate you pointing that out though since I wasn't all that specific in the question.

Calling the police really is probably the only thing to do. I just hate feeling helpless watching stuff happen to people, y'know? But yeah, anything else would probably just make s bad situation worse. 🤷

Becoming an additional victim does not help anybody. In fact, quite the opposite is true. It might divert attention from the original victim and even delay help.

Standing and watching is not the same as calling for help. By being an observant bystander and relaying important information to the relevant people you are making yourself invaluable. You can tell the police exactly what is happening, where, by whom, descriptions of people involved, and then if willing be an independent witness in the case. This could be especially important in things such as domestic violence where the victim refuses to cooperate with Police, yet an independent witness can secure a prosecution
