For secondary school students, girls who are considered pretty or especially developed compared to their peers are highly at risk for sexual harassment. Conversely, girls who are considered more masculine or unpretty are likewise at risk for harassment. Notably, the third most at-risk group are effeminate or unathletic boys, at over 3 times the likelihood of attractive boys being harassed.
