my math teacher is coming on to me


Question Posted Thursday January 12 2006, 8:34 pm

My math 10 teacher has been acting really strange around me. He came up to me the other day and said "my wife's maiden name is the same as yours". He also said I reminded him of his wife when she was younger, and said it in a kind of romantic (yuck) way. Another time he caught me and my friend writing notes, and then he came up to me, tried to read the note, and then said "oh it's a love letter to me". Another girl heard and thought he was joking, because she said "I highly doupt that sir". But I know he was being serious. I always catch him staring at me. One day he heard me say the F word. He told me to stay behind after class. Instead of giving me crap, he said "I'm really suprised at you, but I'm just going to give you a warning". He was talking seductively. I know he was enjoying having me all alone.
It feels really gross and wrong of him. I am only 15. He's like old enough to be my father. What should I do, and is he being inappropriate or am i overreacting?

Inconspiciously tell someone probably everyone of the faculty members untill some listens to you. Demand to be transfered out of the class if he makes you feel that uncomfortable.

Approach your school counselor on this issue. If the actions you've described are accurate, this could lead to extremely inappropriate and criminal situations. You need to tell somebody. Do not delay.

Well in a way you are over-reacting. From your point of view it might sound like he's speaking seductively but from a rational person, that's just a patient voice. I think that as long as he isn't touching you are saying straight out that he's attracted to you, you should just leave the whole situation alone. If it does excalate then you can ask me for advice again if there are diffrent circumstances.

I think your teacher is being inappropriate and you should tell your parents or you guidance couscler of this and have it stop know, before it goes to far.I hope I helped.

Saying your teacher is coming onto you is a pretty serious allegation. It is advisable to tell someone however if you think you're overracting then maybe just see what happens. He might just be a weirdo in general.

Well sometimes I feel the same way about my teachers but I'm usually overreacting but just to be on the safe side be aware of him and always be aware of him and his actions especially towards you!

Leave this alone until or unless he actually comes on to you or does anything physical. If you report the behavior, which quite frankly is just more silly than malicious or sexual, than the principal is going to talk to him about it. Your principal is going to say it came from an unnamed source, but he will probably be able to tie it to you. He'll be much harder on grading you and it sounds like you still got some high school left. You may get him again. You never want to see a teacher's bad side. You could also be imagining the whole staring bit and he may just be messing around about the notes. Don't report the behavior until or unless he actually tries something. It may turn out to be nothing at all.

I think he's kinda inappropriate and that you should tell your mom or and older sister..someone you trust. Next time he says it to you, if your in private, never act like your flirting back. so tell a parnet or someone and maybe next time he does that to you just say, "Back off." try this is your in private thugh, i t might be embaressing in front of an entire class.
hope it helped

You are not overreacting at all though I don't think this is a situation where you should go running to the principal or guidance counselor. You don't want him to get in trouble if he's not a bad person. From what you've said, it seems to me like you may be getting the wrong impression from him. He could just like you as a person and student. However, it is very good that you aren't oblivious to the possibilities of something bad happening because it could. Most of the time when people ask questions about this sort of thing on advicenators the answers are simple because the situations are much worse and more clear cut. So in other words, this is a very good question. I think that what you should do is tell your parents exactly what you told us. Talk to them about it and discuss all possibilities. Don't overreact or jump to conclusions, but it is important that something is done about this. I believe that the whole thing can be sorted out if your parents talk to the teacher about it and he apologizes to you for making you think that he was interested in you in an inappropriate way. Don't be alone with him again as a precaution and because even if he's not going to do anything it makes you feel uncomfortable and that isn't good. Ask a friend to stay or something. After your parents talk to him he will understand. I think that by doing what I suggested that if he was interested in you he will back off and if he wasn't he'll be aware that you are afraid and will be careful not to make you feel uncomfortable again. So, tell your parents have them talk to him and don't let yourself be alone with him again and you should be set. If anything more severe happens, like a direct comment or invitation that's when you need to tell your guidance counselor or principal. I hope that I helped and good luck. I hope everything turns out okay. <3

You should talk to your parents and give them the details and let them decide what to do about it...you don't need to be freaking over it, it is there kind of "grown up" thing! I hope that I helped, and remember that my inox is always open. You don't have to rate, but you can if you want to. Thanks!

whoa thats so weird. definately tell someone about it. i know you might not want to but i don't think your over reacting. tell your friends first & have them keep an eye on him with you. see if they can pick stuff out you cant er see the same things as you dont. don't tell an adult until your sure but if you ever feel threatened er violated then definately go to your parents er a counsler at school.

-hope that helped!&hearts;
