Is my teacher a pervert?

Question

Ok so I have this history teacher. Its his first year teaching at my school and he just got out of college. Since the first day of school he has really made me uncomfortable. He would always hug me and call me names like cutie or kiddo.  During lunch he would always watch me eat or sit next to me and try and start a conversation. Plus every Friday he would always go to the football games and sit right across from were we sit on the stands. I confronted my other friends about this but they just tell me I am being paranoid. Do you think I am just looking at it the wrong way or could I actually be right?  And if I am right what actions should I take?

Girl, I know how you feel! I’ve been in that same situation too. :/ I’m 22 now but when I was a junior in high school, I had this one teacher who was a pervert too. Like this teacher was 31 and I was 17 of course, but he acted like he was 18. He was SUCH a big flirt, not only with me, but with other girl students he had too. He was my art teacher and he would always call me “my dear”. He would also always touch me in a flirty way around my hips and he always put his hands on my waist whenever he was trying to get past me if I was blocking his way, to get through to where he wanted to get to in the classroom. It made me feel uncomfortable and I thought he was being inappropriate by being super flirty plus he was married with three little kids! He would always tickle me and poke me on my sides in a flirty way. Back then, I heard from one of my friends that he touched her friend’s sister’s boobs. She was a student of his too. I don’t know if it is true or not but she told me that he made it seem like it was by accident. Anyways, I told a counselor about this and how he would make me feel uncomfortable because he was a teacher and was acting inappropriately. I think you should maybe tell a school counselor that he makes you feel uncomfortable if you don’t want to tell him directly. They can help you and it will stay confidential. I wish you luck and message me if you need anything. I hope I helped! ~peace~

Woh...he is REALLY out of line. I have a teaching degree and one of the first things we were taught was NO physical contact with students. If a student hugged us, we were instructed to put our arms in the air so the student couldn't say he/she was touched inappropriately. We were even told NOT to be alone with a student, ever, that we should always have someone in the room with us. This was to ensure professionalism and cover liability (issues like this).

I think you need to ignore him, reject his hugs or any physical contact and politely say you aren't comfortable with it. If he is professional and respectful, he will back right off. If he doesn't then you MUST report him to the principal. You won't get into trouble. If it comes down to this, make a list of what he did, when he did it, dates and times and note when you spoke to him to tell him you were uneasy. Keeping a log with details will work in your favor, and will show the administration that this teacher is out of line.

You shouldn't have to be creeped out by him. He is a grown man and should know how to conduct himself in a mature manner. Take action and don't be ashamed.

I had a teacher like that. He was always dressed very professional and behaved respectfully but I hated being alone with him. I thought I was being paranoid... but at the end of the school year it turns out that he had been have sex with 2 of my classmates.

You should tell your parents, school councilor, or some other trusted adult. Even if he isn't a pervert he shouldn't be behaving in a way that would make a student feel uncomfortable.

Ok yeah he is.

A teacher has a barrier between studennts, and hugging you is like weird. And if he watches you and calls you cutie well I think he is a perv.

Well if you don't want him to hug you when you comes up to you and goes for a hug, back away and say no.

As an authoritative figure in a school, he has to adhere to all policies set forth by the school district. He is in a position of authority and abuse of that power is in violation.

He's no longer a student in college.

He's a teacher and should be treated as such. He has to behave like a teacher. Simply put, he has to act professional at all times, while on duty.

Acting like a student and calling you names like kiddo and cutie is straight up weird. I don't care if he's straight out of college.

My senior year in HS, my math teacher was extremely hot and 5 years older than me. I was 18, she was 23. However, at no point did she act like a student and treat me like a potential guy that she would date. She was professional at all times. It's something that has to be respected.

I think this is bull sh*t.  Teachers never sit with students during lunch, they have their own room to eat lunch in.  And even in they were in the same room, they don't sit with the students, the only way they would is if they were asking a question or explaining something, but that would only be for a few seconds.

He's acting inappropriate.  If he continues, you need to let him know you aren't interested and that he needs to stop.
