Is it bad that my teacher kissed me on the forehead?
I am in summers school. I'm not in summer school for failing or being dumb or nothing like that. Im going to be a junior next year and I decided to go to summer school to take senior classes, so I wont have to take them when I become a senior. Its some program that my school has. A teacher that I have a crush is teaching a class. He knows that I have a crush on him and he jokes around and calls me his girlfriend and puts his arm around me. I think hes just playing and he tells other people that hes just playing. One day he called me his girlfriend in the front office in front of the counselor and the principle and they didn't say anything, the counselor just laughed. Ok, during our little lunch break everyone was in the cafeteria and I was talking in the hallway with one of my friends. My teacher asked me could I take something to the office for him and I went in his class to go get it. He gave me some papers and put is arm around my shoulders and kissed me on the forehead. Is that wrong?

The teacher's behavior is inappropriate.
As much as possible, keep your distance. I would suggest you talk to a counselor at school, but based on what you say, I'm not sure this would be taken as seriously as it should be. Try and avoid being alone with him.

Let me start by saying I am old enough to be your grandfather. When I was your age and in school a teacher referring to a student as his or her boyfriend/girlfriend and kissing them on the forehead would not have been given a second thought. Maybe it should have been given second thoughts; Sexual predators where just as prevalent back then as they are know.
Your teacher was wrong to kiss you, period, be it on the forehead or anyplace else. Now what to do about it. While you could go up to him and tell him that you felt uncomfortable with him kissing you and not to do it again. You do not know if he has kissed or done anything else with other young girls. The best thing to do is to talk to you parents. Let them decide what the proper thing to do is.
They have a number of choices they can take. The best place to start is with the school principal. If the school administration does not take what your parents feel is appropriate action they have other avenues they can follow. I encourage you to talk with your parents about this. It may have been just what it was a kiss to say thank you, but can you be 100% sure?

Yes. He's crossed the line from joking to inappropriate physical contact.
I'm sure you don't want to get him into trouble, but even if you don't report him, you can turn to him and say "Remember when you kissed my forehead. That made me really uncomfortable, please don't."
And you should. You should because he is taking stupid risks with his job when he does dumb things like that. You should because he crossed the line and should be told so. And you should because the next girl he teases like this might report him if someone doesn't point out to him it's not okay.
A crush is fine, and never your fault, but when your teacher kissed you on the head, he did a dumb, unfair and wrong thing.

Yes, It's highly innapropriate.
