Being 14

It was the day my parents first allowed me to go the mall and watch a movie with my friends without a chaparon. We were very excited with the new freedom that we had gotten. We watched the movie and then decided to hang out in the mall for a while until my friends car came to pick us up. As we went from shop to shop we realized that a man was following us. We were really scared because this was our first time out alone. He came close to us and in a really creepy way said 'Hi girls'. We looked at each other and started walking away. When we got a message that the car had arrived we started running towards the car as the man followed. Luckily we got into the car fast. It was an extremely scary experience. After that experience my friends and i realized why our parents hesitated so much to send us alone. It was after that day that i became conscious of eve-teasing.
