Is this teacher being inapropriate?
My teacher is 27 and Im 17 and he always asks me do I like him if I'm alone with him. I do have a crush on him, but I never tried to do anything with him and I never will. Sometimes I blush when hes around but that's it.If I go to the restroom and Im tardy to class, he will take me to class and he acts weird, he asks weird questions, like he asked me did I love him in front of our class. He will get really close to me and ask me do I love him and if I say no he just says that he loves me. I cant tell if hes serious sometimes or if hes just playing. Sometimes he makes me go in the hall so he can talk to me about nothing that's important. He calls me his girlfriend in front of teachers and students and they just laugh at him because they think hes joking. I don't know if hes playing or what. He'll be in class teaching and put his arm around me. I don't think he'll try to do anything but sometimes he gets close to me and its really uncomfortable, even when I back away. He just stares and smiles at me a lot. Or he'll walk over to my desk and stand there for a while. I'm a pretty strait forward person, so after a while I turn around and ask him what he wants. He'll ask if I need help or something. One time he looked up my schedule and took me out of PE class because I was mad at him and someone told him that I didnt like him, he took me out of class just to ask me if I didnt like him and he looked seriously hurt.
Maybe I'm just overreacting but I just wanted to know what somebody else's opinion was about the situation. Sometimes I just can't tell if hes joking because he knows I have a crush on him or if hes being serious. Please answer, thanks

It doesn't matter if he's joking or not. He's your teacher and any comment like that - joking or not - is inappropriate. If he is making you uncomfortable then I would seriously consider reporting him. Given that you are 17 I would assume that your time at that school is almost done so you wouldn't have to deal with much aftermath at school if you do choose to report him. Teachers are supposed to be the ones you can go to with a problem but this teacher seems to BE the problem. He seems like a creep and will probably move on to another young girl when you graduate, which is another reason to consider reporting him. His "flirting" may seem harmless now but he may take it to the next level with another student next year. You are not overreacting, his behavior is NOT okay.

If you can't find anyone to believe you, transfer out of his class. Tell him you respect him as a teacher but you can't do your class work properly with him around. I hope this helps and good luck.

My opinion? All of this is obviously gnawing away at you, considering you're at school this isn't right, this teacher seems to be messing with your mind which, teacher or not, is not right at all. Putting myself in your shoes, I'd confront him, make sure no one's there, just ask him everything you're wondering, start off by asking something like ' what is this whole 'girlfriend' act? is it some sort of joke, because i don't find it funny, it's really messing with my head' try start off a conversation about it, in this way you will get more out of him, he's more likely to confess what he's playing at. try sort things out, if this does not help matters, try speak to another teacher, maybe a friendly teacher, or possibly your parents? also, the things he does to you which makes you feel uncomfortable ( come close to you, put his arm around you) tell him you don't like this and would like him to stop, as bad as this sounds, maybe record the conversation you have with him, so you could analyse it, or if anything dramatic is said, so you could have proof of it, i really do wish you good luck, follow this advice and hopefully all will be okay x

Your teacher is being inappropriate with you and towards you. This is not the type of behavior any school system will tolerate. He needs to be reported to the school authorities and the police.
But not by you, by your parents.
You need to tell your parents. The first thing I would do if I was your father is call the police and make a police report. Then follow the instructions of the investigators.
If this teacher is not immediately suspended from teaching I would demand you be transferred to another class. I would also request that an order of protection be placed against him requiring he stay away from you and your home while the investigation continues through any trial.
Whatever the laws he is violating is also violating his role as a teacher. He is definitely harassing you sexually from what you have written. You need to make your parents aware of this and let them handle it.
Inappropriate contact between a teacher and student is a serious charge. It is my feeling that administrators will be more inclined to take the appropriate action if your parents and police make the complaint.

This teacher has crossed the line on way to many occasions.
Report him
You are a student and he is a teacher he is in the wrong and is putting himself in hot water.
