Recently I switched my schedule so I could have a drawing and painting class to work on my portfolio. My teacher placed me at te end of the class next to this sophomore , David. He seemed real nnice at first, but then he just kept staring at me and making odd comments about everything. And he breathes on me heavily(his breath stinks).
I really want to switch seats but another girl Maggi sits there and thinks David is a real creeper too.
I don't want to say anything to him cause that's mean.
And I don't want to ask the teacher cause she might put me in a MORE uncofortable position.
How can I get this creeper vibe out of my system??
I'm 16/f/junior in high school. I don't know what age he is. About 15?
You have the absolute right to enjoy the benefits of what this class has to offer. If David or anyone else keeps you for getting that enjoyment then you or you parents need to lodge a complaint.
The best way I believe this should be handled is to speak to your parents and ask them to write a note to your teacher or principal. In the schools where I live every teacher has a school email address. So either an email note to the teacher or a handwritten one you can have placed in the teachers mailbox at school should be sent by your parents.
This gives you what is called plausible deniability should David be questioned or punished for his actions. You can very honestly say you don't know what he is talking about as you said nothing to the teacher.

Just say that you'd like to sit closer to her to be able to hear the lessons better, or you could just be honest and say that the guy makes you uncomfortable. Make sure you let her know that he hasn't made any sexual comments/advances (if he hasn't!) so she doesn't get the wrong idea. Don't be immature and catty about it, just be honest.
