New Teacher
I'm 17/F and a junior in highschool. Our teacher quit so we have a permenant substitute for now. Our Sub is a guy, and he told us he was 23 and right out of NYU. Pretty hot too. Anyways, ever since this guy started taking over our classes he's been kind of flirting with me. Don't tell me i'm imagining it because my friends notice too. He always comes to my desk to ask how I'm doing, putting his hand on my back. He asks me to stay after class a lot to compliment me on all my work. He asked me if I needed a tutor in any subject and that he'd be happy to do it, and one day my friend couldn't drive me home so he offered to take me. It's kind of starting to freak me out. He's good looking and all but he's 6 years older than me and my tacher. I told my parents and the school counselor and they think I'm crazy for even saying something like that. My friends are the only ones who believe me. What should I do? He's not stopping. Maybe I am crazy, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Ok we had this whacked out substitute that was flirting w/ all the hot, popular girls at our skool, soon all these girls Knew he was flirting w/ them so they ALL went and reported him, u get 5 or 6 people to support you (not all friends!!) and go up to your principle. Let the 5 or 6 people tell him what they see, even have an extra 2 in mind just in case he/she needs more proof

ok eww. he's being totally inappropriate. he is using his status as a teacher to make you like him. i'm sure your not the only one who he does this to. if your parents don't believe you keep telling them about it or bring your friends in and they can tell them too. your conselor is there to help you. i'm surprised that he or she is denying this. if this becomes a real issue then talk to an administrator(principal,vice principal) about it and they should take you seriously. good luck and don't get to close to him.

Do you have a good relationship with anyother teacher at your school? Asking another teacher you have a solid relationship with for advice on this is probably a really good bet. They will understand how these things are dealt with and might have some insight into the problem for you.
It's okay to feel uncomfortable, and they aren't going to fire him just because you are a bit confused by his behavoir. But I do think it is a really good idea to air your worries and have them taken seriously. This guy is new to teaching and he might just be unsure of the bounderies and comfort level for his students. I would hope his fellow teachers or the principal could gently but firmly set him straight.

Well maybe you should try avoiding him like if he puts his hand on your back shrug it off. Don't stay after class without a friend. Don't be rude but when he tries to make conversation find a way to leave or something. Just give him little hints that you aren't interested, if he keeps doing it talk to your parents again, let them know you wouldn't make something like that up and that you tried taking care of it yourself. If the school doesn't listen to you they can get in serious trouble so just make them listen.
Best of luck!
And always use the buddy system around him!
