Question Posted Thursday October 11 2007, 11:52 pm
im 17/fem, and in my sophmore year of highschool. so last year, there was this nice, but really flirty teacher in my school who did something incredibly uncomfortable [for me] one time. he actually did three things, all in the same day. we were just sitting around in his classroom and he decides to sit next to me, so he sorta pushes my leg/thigh over. i ignore it. A while later, while looking towards another direction, he runs his hand from my knees down to where my leg joins the hip. i simply hop off the desk and walk away, and ignore it. then one of my classmates decides to take a picture and he gets next to me and hugs me by the waist and holds me tighter. i know he was probably taking advantage of it being the last day of the schoolyear, but teachers just aren't supposed to do that. when i told my friend, she said he had done the last one to her too, but of course, i ignored it. Well this year, i got the same bad vibe from another teacher when he sort of touched me the wrong way, and its tormenting me. i dont want to get anyone in trouble, so im not telling on them, but what should i do to distract myself from thinking about this?

It would be against everything I believe in, and I'm supposed to give people the best advice I possible can to help them in their lives. And if I told you to simply ignore your feelings and move on, I wouldn't be helping you at all.
Look, this teacher should get in trouble. Think about this: What if he does the same thing to another young girl? What if he does something worse? What if he rapes her? Then, you're also going to know that you knew what he did to you, and you didn't speak up. So please, tell your parents and talk to your principal. This is extremely important, not only for yourself, but for other young girls that he may have already done this to, and ones that he may be planning on doing this too.
