teachers always think theyre smarter in every way than all the students. the past 3 days 3 different teachers have said something smart ass about me and my boyfriend.
I was cracking his back (and a teacher came up to us and told us to stop smooching, we did nothing , and she physically made us seperate and go to class early)
I was putting my backpack away (once i was done i hugged him and a teacher told me that school was a public place)
These are just some examples. every time a teacher says something like this to me i just want to punch them in the face.
what should i do?
what should i say back?
And its not like were having sex in the hallway, we hug, and occasionally peck on the lips. this is very common for couples at my school

I understand how you're feeling. There are teachers at my school who can be serious jerks sometimes and REALLY annoying.
Even though punching them in the face sounds really fun, you shouldn't do it.
And I know it's very tempting to tell them to shut up and mind their own business but talking back to them will probably make them pick on you more or it might get you into trouble so I think the only thing you can really do is just ignore them and shrug it off.
Or just be polite 'yes miss/sir' and walk off.
If it's just one teacher constantly picking on you, then you should talk to the principal or one of your parents and tell them what's been happening.
But if it's a bunch of different teachers just ignore them. They're probably jealous that they can't get a boyfriend, nah just joking, but seriously just ignore them.
Catch up with your boyfriend on the weekends or after school and spend time with him then.
Also try and avoid teachers when you do decide to hug or kiss, if you see a teacher walking your way, wait for them to leave, then do what you gotta do.

You need to reel in your anger. This is NOTHING. Why get upset at it? Why would you want to punch an adult much less a teacher over this? You might not like them but they think they're doing what they're supposed to.
If you say anything say this "I'm sorry if this bothers you." and be respectful, stop the behavior they find offensive and move on. Maybe it was meant as a joke like "stop smooching or you'll be late."
Apologize even if not in the wrong and move on about your business at school. That will end any problem. Don't be so combative either.
Next, find out for yourself if there's some kind of hidden student rule about touching, kissing etc. that you don't know about and nobody else observes. It may be common among your friends but frowned on by the school board.
If a particular r teacher keeps bothering you and making comments about you, your boyfriend and relationship have your parents talk to them and get the principal to deal with it if it's a constant headache from one person. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

They are adults, your supervisors and your teachers. They are going to be jerks sometimes, some will even be assholes and there is really nothing you can do about that unless they are breaking some sort of rule or behaving inappropriately.
And nothing you've described is crossing that line. It’s just annoying to you. At most, maybe a bit rude.
You need to be mature enough to handle that annoyance.
You are going to have co-workers and bosses that are rude to you, maybe rude professors as well. They exist in this world, and we have to deal with them. NOT by wanting to hit them, or by making nasty comments, but by being measured and respectful in our responses.
And rude people can still be right.
And your teachers are right. Not because they think they are smarter, but because they have a job to do. A school isn't just a 'public place', it's also a workplace. It's your workplace, and it’s their workplace. Having zero tolerance for behavior that could quickly get out of hand isn't evil, it's just annoying. ALSO if that many teachers are getting on your case that often, you can bet their employer, the person who pays them the money they use to buy food, is telling them to be very diligent in enforcing those rules.
Show maturity and respect for the job they are required too do and do well, and shrug their comments off. Go ahead and keep up the PDAs if you want, just understand that if you do, or even if they think you are doing so, you'll get told to stop... No big deal.
If a particular teacher openly insults you, or starts hunting you, then you have a valid complaint to bring up with the school, but if you just annoyed because you are being constantly told not to something, you have only two options to deal with your feelings: either stop being so sensitive and stop allowing yourself to be upset about comments that are both expected and outside of your control OR stop the behavior that elicit the comments you find annoying.
