ABSTRACT: This research paper finds the relationship between street harassment and psychological distress among female high school students. The participants of the study were selected through convenient sampling technique and snowball sampling technique. With use of two instruments, one for each variable, the researcher found out that among the 150 female students in terms of street harassment experience, majority of them perceived their street harassment as positve/complimentary. The relationship between street harassment and psychological distress was tested by finding the pearson r-value between the subcategories of street harassment (Positive/Complimentary, Neutral and Negative/abusive) and the levels of psychological distress (Well, Mild, Moderate andSevere). To accumulate significant relationship between the two variables, it must produce a P-value equal or less than 0.05.
