Ok. My art teacher is little too nice to me. He makes weird comments to me like "your hair looks hott today" or "you friend kayla is cute". And he moved me up to an honors art class because he thought i was "ready" for it. Soo i moved up thinking i was a really good artist..but ever since..he just flirts with me. Also everytime i ask him a question after to class about hw assignments hes like "come to my office'. Its just weird...and he also hugs me..i dunno maybe hes just a nice person. I feel uncomfortable..wat should i do?
PS hes a new teacher..first year..and hes 24

Elcee answered Tuesday May 16 2006, 11:51 am: This teacher is obviously making you feel uncomfortable and that is not good. I suggest that you tell your Mum or Dad and ask that they help you sort this problem out. If after having a chat with him nothing improves ask to see the head teacher and explain the situation. He is in a position of authority and should not be making remarks of that nature to you. It might be that he does not understand his boundaries as a teacher yet, in which case the head teacher will be able to define these for him and perhaps keep an eye on him for a while. He has not done anything yet that would warrant a formal warning but a friendly chat might just sort it out. I wish you all the best. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]

Good Luck

erythisis answered Monday March 27 2006, 10:16 pm: If you feel even more uncomfortable telling him the full truth about how you feel, just limit what you say to that you're worried that it looks like he's favoring you over the other students and you don't want to give the wrong impression (teacher's pet) - so please give more space.
If he's still persitant about getting too close, then talk to a counsellor. I wouldn't suggest going first to the counsellor just for the fact he might honestly not realize how friendly he's getting, but once you've spoken to him, he does need to back off.

jesa21 answered Monday March 27 2006, 8:09 pm: chain of command syndrome.....tell him it makes you uncomfortable, then if it continues it then becomes sexual harrassment , you have to let him know its unwelcome, but once hes told, you have every right to go above him to a councelor or your principal. dont let it continue, if its not nipped in the bud hell think its ok and welcome. just tell him 1st, that it makes you uncomfortable. give him a chance to get more serious it could be that being new to it, hes trying to be more of a students friend then thier authority figure.

xsweet_pea_10 answered Monday March 27 2006, 8:05 pm: Well he hasn't done anything really bad yet but If you are that uncomfterble ask him if he could stop favoring you. Or you could switch to a deffernt class but if you like art then don't. If he does something really uncomfterble soon then tell someone maybe your parents or the princible. Just try to avoid the hugs like when he goes in for one back up or when he gives you a compiment just ignore it act like he didnt say it don't smile when he gives one to. Well drop on in my inbox and let me know if he contiues with anything.
sizzlinmandolin answered Monday March 27 2006, 7:25 pm: He hasn't done anything out of line yet, but he's making you feel uncomfortable and you have every right to. I think that you should tell a counselor at your school that he is making you feel uncomfortable. You don't want him to get into trouble or anything, but if someone says something to him, he'll tone it down. New teachers tend to have this need for their students to like them so they get too close and personal with them in an attempt to be liked. I don't think that he's being inappropriate in any way, but if it bothers you, it should stop. Be discrete about it, being blamed for inappropriate stuff with students is exactly what he doesn't need as a new teacher. If it goes further, more than just being a little too friendly, such as making direct comments or invitations, you do need to report him though. Good luck!
