It could depend on how you carry yourself. My peers used to not take me seriously at all until two occasions were I got so frustrated that I raised my voice. Mind you, this was at summer camp and I was know as being extremely quiet. When I raised my voice those two times, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. Then, for the next weeks (It felt like awhile.), they kept bringing it up and they treated me very different. I'd try to strike up a conversation and most of what I would get was thing like: "Wow. You know, you really fooled me. I thought you were a quite person and then you should your true colours." "I'll never see you the same way again." ETC. This really really hurt my feelings. I never lied to them... I just lost my patience and slightly raised my voice. Who wouldn't/couldn't lose their cool in a situation like that? By the way they were going on you would've thought that 1. I had a breakdown and started to destroy everything in my path and 2. That I was screaming. So, you do have to be careful about how you present yourself. Body language is another thing. If you act "submissive" they most likely won't take you seriously. And like someone else said, you should make a complaint if you're being harassed. Good Luck!
