My teacher is always touching me when teaching something....is he wrong or am I overreacting?
I'm taking classes over the summer to gain additional credits for school.
There's this teacher that's always walking around me while I'm in class and putting his arms around my shoulders and arms. He'll just be lecturing and standing in front of the room and then walking by me putting his arm around me. I think he knows I have a crush on him cause I'm always smiling, But I DO NOT want to do anything with him. Sometimes I blush when hes around but that's it. 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've know him at the school for almost four years. Am I overreacting?

A teacher should not be making his students feel uncomfortable. If you're brave enough, have a chat with him after class and tell him. I know thats intimidating, but if you don't want to create a stir for him and his job, then that might be whats best. Or possibly switch classes for a different teacher if that's possible?
If not then try talking to another teacher that your comfortable with, or a parent.
